Rifleman Archive

im a rifleman. i usually get to my rifles optimal range.
others use pistols carbines and tka. they soo close to the spawn that all i get is a credit share.

I never get loot unless i equip a spraystick when the enemy is almost dead and then i charge in there. the problem is i can only do this on the last beast in the MOB.

What do u all do to get loot?
shouldnt there be some sort of group thing where if 1 person gets a skill tape, it randomly gives it to 1 person in the group. and if he dosent want it he could give it to another group member.

Im not crying loot nerf or something. but it just seems that if i want loot i need to be pistols or rifles.

DEVS plz?

I only hunt for loot with people i trust. Other than that, nothing much ican think of to do

i find that T21 hit just fine at range and when the creature starts to drop to less than a sliver of life i run up to about 25 meters and run in on the last few hit and loot. i dont have a problem getting loot and its handy when there are tons of folk being invited to the group at random.

when i decide to try and get a share of loot i am almost never outlooted. but i usually back off and lend a hand and let others loot till i feel its my turn for some loot.

looting in a trusted group is different because then ur amongst friends and it can be split fairly.

One question is, are you a master? At master, your accuracy mod is so high, that you will be able to hit at point blank with a t21. If i am after loot, i just solo. I am after night sister stuff right now. What i do is get 60-64m back, then start headshotting one. I immediately hit the down arrow so that i kite. Night sister dies, i loot, i keep it all. As a master rifleman, there shouldn't be much in the game that you cannot solo by kiting. I have even taken on one of the new juve canyon krayts. Just make sure you mind bleed, then burst run back to sand beetles. You will get incapped, then the krayt will forgo the DB because the beetles are attacking it. Once you stand back up, start plowing its mind. If you are not a master, dont worry about the loot, grind exp as fast as you can. Then you won't need to worry about it.

Going in groups you trust is also a great answer. /cheer All the Ninja Looters

nope im not master ATM.

Im going master rifle/doc

I think if i drop health and action WAY low, and put mind up WAY high, I could just buff myself 24/7
whatcha think?


but ya at master i guess it would be great to hit a close range, that would solve my prob. But if u can do that, then why would u ever shoot att 60 meters. unless ur solo? Or should i say, why would I.
According to u. As a master doc/rifle i could be on the front line healing my comrades while delivering devistating t21 mind blows.

p.s. what damage and speed is ur t21 cause my laser rifle says more damage then my t21. and most lasers ive seen has more damage.

Also whats good to gain off of with rifle? if im soloing and grouping.

make sniper shot useful in pve and make it a looting shot

haha naw.... this would just cause more nerf cries

If i ever want to loot i usually run up to the enemy towards the end of the battle... I usually get the last hit because i out damage most of the people i hunt with. Like someone mentioned before, try to hunt with people you can trust. When i go on guild hunts one person loots than the loot is divided at the end. Everyone gets to harvest

darkhawk don't worry about your laser outdamaging your t21. The max damage is probably higher but your laser probably has a very low minimum damage. (atleast min does) Another thing, t21 is ap3 and a laser is ap2. You may think your laser can outdamage your t21, but your t21 will be a lot more consistant. Nothing worse than havinga 48-718 damage laser and hitting somthing for132 damage using strafe2

ya i guess ur right. t21 is more consistant. i forgot that 1.
lemme ask ya this now
I find that my spray stick kicks but at only 71-313 damage. cause it hits each second and takes almost no mind. but i dont see others using it at all. is this just because im not master? cause i use it like a pistol ;P

and i hear that cold rifle is pretty good.
oh and did ya see that new Screen shot of the new gun? it looks like a rifle, whacha think?

Im not a master, and more often than not im caught in PvP un buffed with 500 health and 500 action. So the spraystick is a savior. Spam headshots 2 or 3 doesnt matter. With the fast speed I usually get good 400 and 500 pt hits and can take any non armored opponent down pretty quickly. idea is not to get hit though.

Yes i agree with you, but once you hit master there really is no need for a spraystick since you can pretty much fire most specials at the 1 second cap w/ a t21. I usually just use the spraystick for a last ditch (i also usually have it equipped when not fighting because i like those newbies that always ask me if i'm a jedi )

Another thing is spraysticks have no armor piercing, so that will play a part as to how much damage you dish out.
