Apologies if this topic has been covered before, but I have to hit the forum and be off quickly due to work concerns (namely: the boss). Kind of like a posting sniper


I don't PvP and I actually like playing the sniper in PvE. The one issue I have is that you can not Peace while under the Immobilized of Take Cover. I appeal to the Powers That Be to consider the fundamental logic. The most basic trick of not being seen as a sniper is that you don't shoot while people are looking in your direction. I shouldn't have to keep spamming Conceal Shot until the target is dead in order to pause the action.


Just a thought.

I did not know this was an issue. If it is a bug it should be squished. However...



  1. I think after you get the Sneek ability is goes away. This does not happen to me now.

  2. Conceal Shot does not need cover. Only Surprise Shot does.

Fred is right in both cases. Sneak allows you to move while in cover. If you can move, you are no longer immobilized (the immobile status icon goes away). Thus, you can Peace while in cover once you get the Sneak ability with Concealment 3.


Concealshot does not have to be used from Cover. Only Surpriseshot requires cover (although, it seems to work out of cover right now.)


It is not a bug. It is working as intended.

Before I got sneak, I would just kneel and peace right after the other with no problem, then heal up if needed , go back to prone and back to cover.


I make this a habit after every six to eight solid hits to make sure that I do not hit the bleed tick.

I have to agree with Inero on this one. I mean if im in the wilds, im hitting a target....do I not have the skill to take my finger off the trigger? I mean if im hitting attack and it agro's me, ya, I can see then peace not working. But when I have hit him 2-3 times with conceal? Do I not have this skill?


/stopshooting .....hmmmmmm
