I'm new to rifleman(Novice) so I don't have much knowledge orxp. I have conceal shot but I use overcharge more often. Anyone elseuse it regularly? I was surprised at rifles 3 in the marksman tree I was doing 2000 points of damage on a regular basis(sometimes 3000)with a laser rifle using overcharge. I'm not sure if that's alot at that level but it seemed like it was. Now that I'm Novice it seems to be around the same(leaning more towards 3000) but I'll occasionally do 5000-6000 damage with overcharge. I'm relatively new to the game so if this post is irritating in anewbie way, my apologies. I just wanted to find out if you guys use(and enjoy)overcharge shot as much as I do.

Overcharge may be a good damage dealer, but it lowers the condition of your gun very fast, and targets a random pool. What I do is conceal, then spam headshot 2 (does not lower the condition of the gun as much and will always target the mind pool) with my T-21 (damage slice and power-up), which gives 3, sometims 4 shots before the enemy sees me. With overchage, you go not know what it will hit, so if the enemy has 10 points left in health, and 1800 in action/mind, there is only a 1/3 chance that it will hit the health pool, which can lengthen battles considerably and cause you (as well as your gun) to take more damage.

It breaks your weapon at like ten times the normal rate, and damage is crap compared to anything besides default attack. HS2 will kill faster because it's not random pool, and you won't go through three rifles a day.
