Once I unlock really soon, here is what I am planning on being. I hope it helps you all trying to decide how to get pearls etc. Get master rifleman and master commando, and novice medic. Since you are commando, you will be master marksman, which gives bonus to rifle accuracy and to rifle speed. Get a +5 speed tape to reach the speed cap. Get a 500+ damage T21 sliced and at least a 1000 damage flamethrower, get a ton of damage powerups in case you are going up against another master rifleman for looting rights (just to push you over the top in damage). You will also want 80% kinetic armor (I like composite, just makes me feel a little more comfortable ). And some stimpack B's. I like around the 400 healing. Get master doc's buffs, vasarian brandy, musician buff or vagerian canape ( VERY important, the T21 will kill your mind if you don't), and some damage reduction food (just in case).


Strategy-


Right when you find a krayt, immediately run up to it and spam flame single 1, flame cone 1, flame single 2, and flame cone 2. This will put a fire DoT of about 5-10k per tick on the krayt depending on the damage you did with the initial shot. After these, run away to about 40-50 meters. From there start spamming advanced strafe shot like crazy. You might need to reapply the burns depending on how fast the health is going down. If you are alone, my advice is to run the krayt in between houses, or try as best you can to go up the mountains( without scout it will be slow, but so will the krayt, so try not to panic). If you see that you are steadily losing stats, clear your combat log and take a stim. If this doesn't seem to help (rarely) then you might want to eat some 45% damage reduction food.


Summary-


You will be puttinga 5-10k burn on the krayt PLUS spamming a 3-4k damage attack with a heavy armor peircing weapon. Don't be intimidated by groups loaded with pistoleers, smugglers, TK's, fencers etc. Or even groups with a rifleman in them or 2. Remember, that 5-10k burn is raw damage being done to the krayt. Whereas the attacks the people are doing, have to go through the 80-90% resists and heavy armor


I hope this helped. Please let me know how you like it. Good luck!

You will do a lot of damage to the krayt no doubt, but I wanted to let you know that the damage from fire dots will not count towards your damage for looting rights. As far as looting rights go, a krayt T21 is still the fastest way to get looting rights on a krayt unless you have a godly powerhammer.


You will still be a good krayt killer though. The best combo that I've seen for effectively soloing krayts is 2h swords and CM. You have enough defenseswith swordsmen to effectively tank and youdo a lot of damageas well as the ability to easily heal any damage andconstantly have poisons and diseases ticking away at them with 4440 CM (I think that's the way).

I would say that is a close second. But last patch included all DoT's into looting rights

I agree with everythign (basically) except for the flame right off the bat. I conceal shot until he finds me. Then I would flame, then I would shoot. with conceal I can normally take down about 1/4 of the Krayts health before he finds me.

I prefer to spam head shot 3 with my T21 till it falls. Last one took me around 20 min.
