Rifleman Archive

Just curious here but between rifleman cover skill,scout mask scent abilityand ranger camouflage, would a rifleman then become a true "sniper", being nearly undetectable and able to take out his targets from a distance without fear of retaliation?

Currently Both Maskscent and Conceal Drop the moment you fire your gun.

Conceal does allow you to creep up to NPC's (Maulers etc) but You won't find me in Cover often do to warping mauler masters on my head.

ya i was master of both at one time, idnd't really use ranger other then tracking and terrain...anyways with conceal shot u can solo any NPC that isn't a mob, it's pretty gay actually...i dont' think a rifleman should solo a kryat, at-st, gorax

no they changed conceal shot, it doesntwork as good anymore

well i can still solo an at-st so they didn't change it that much

If by "sniper" you mean big game hunter, then yeah. Master Ranger/Master Rifleman are snipers. Cover sucks for a ranger. unless they fixed it, dont use it.

wouldn't it take around 100 shots to solo an at-st with concealshot? i mean, at least? it only does 1000-2000 damage and 70% of it is blocked by the at-st energy resist. i've tried a couple of times but when you have to fire a gazillion shots youre gonna miss once or twice.

I see this is a person like my freind Jack, depends on luck alone (and for some dumb reason gets it). In 200 shots I'm going to miss. Gaurenteed.

I solo'ed an AT-ST last night with concealshot. Went prone at ideal range, used muon, and it took about 30 minutes of constantfiring, pausing onlyfor a couiple of downers... No other imps around, or I couldn't have done it, and the reward wasn't worth the time or effort (something like 4k xp and 18 faction) so I won't be doing it again soon. Fun to do once though. I didn't miss once btw. When prone at ideal range, AT-ST's are apparently easy to hit, and I'm only 2-1-2-2 with rifleman.

As for krayts, I suppose I could solo one in the same manner, except that some group will inevitably come along and finish it off for me.
