Thread: Master Rifleman owned by a TKM at 60m...**edit**
and just know that a master rifleman will fall from a TKM no matter what up close, one dizzy and you're down and you're basically down for the entire time watching him hack away your HAM slowly. It's why they're the Teras kasi Masters
forget the T21, forget the laser rifle
get youself a few jawa ion rifles, get them sliced, hope for a 30%+ dmg slice on one. I like to bring the smugglers to the store / weapon vendor so if the 1st slice is bad or speed, then buy another, and so on and so forth.
grab some 33% max dmg 16% mind (lowering mind cost for specials) OR 16% min dmgpower-ups.
good jawa ion rifles with the slice and power-up can be around 200+min 350+max.
/headshot2 ; /headshot2 ; /headshot2 ; /headshot2 ; /headshot2 is more than enough.
jawa ion rifle is "stun" dmg and goes right through composite.
try it out, Id really like to see if it works out for you as good as it works out for me, a report back would be great to see if you need anymore help.
May the force be with you
Up close a TKM is king, Melee is their territory, and so u just dont let them get in range,
The only prob is that ALL weapons ranges are 64m which makes it a lil hard as that distance is quickly covered.
PLUS Rifleman, melee damage modifier, and if you were prone / kneeling, that goes up no end, TK do about 3 times the damage if your prone, about 2 x kneeling,, , so doesnt really help the situation.
Aye, the trick with TKM is to keep them away. I've only duelled 2 as master rifle. The first I won by kiting (which was a bit low, to be honest. 
). The second, we started at 30m (I was feeling generous, hehe), and I smacked flurry and suppress with a cdef - flat on his back at 10m away, and the rest was easy.
So, I'd suggest trying something like this, or anything else you can think of to keep them away. Also, I'd definitely suggest using a damage-sliced and damage-powered up Jawa for opponents with composite - chances are he'd be dead within 20 metres if youbelted outStrafe2 with a decent Jawa. T21 would be the perfect weapon for PvE (bearing in mind what you said below), but I hear rumours that armour piercing doesn't work in PvP, so it wouldn't be the best weapon for this situation anyway.
Hope this helps! I look forward to reading other people's tricks and tips.
Yes you choice of weapon VS the Compo armor was your flaw.....I can kill anyone unbuffed in 3 shots max with my Jawa Ion gun....
/Strafe2 ..../Strafe2.....and if need be /Strafe2
I dont even waist time with the head shots...they go down so fast with strafe its nuts. U will see what I mean, try it out.

same is true for all melee combat. you have a ranged weapon keep the range between you and him. tis a no brainer.
im not trying to flame ya or anything but it is common sense.
sigh
tkm has dizzy knockdown
spam ss2 with a high damage jawa, or headshot
make sure you dont stand there

I killed 24 people yesterday with my 5.7 sd, 686 dmg, ?/?/51 HAM by sniping people in Bestine. I was only killed 3 times to there 24. Then these dudes wise up and start coming after me. Ever time they attacked me I would get there health half way down. THen I decided to duel this TKM to see if it was just luck. I stayed prone while he was at 60m. This was our agreemant. So i would have ran if i wasnt dueling him but we set it up this way to see what would happen. I spamed SS2 but he reached me before I got that final blow in. So now I will try to find Jawa Ion rifles to see what that will do against armored people. I usually kill people in two to three shots with my laser rifle. So is headshot2 beter than SS2 in PvP?
I find that using the Laser Rifle with Strafeshot2 is sometimes more dependable if there is more than one person, i got 4 people at once at the starport in Bestine with it
The headshot is more of a good single attack, most people use headshot2, but i use headshot3 despite the higher HAM cost. and yes, the Jawa Ion rifle does help agaisnt people with 88% helmets
So is headshot2 beter than SS2 in PvP?
In a 1 -vs- 1, thats what I would use...MS1, MS2, HS2 in a kneeling state as much as possible, then run spamming hs2 =).
Course I ended up dropping ranger and all of medic (except novice) to gain some TKA skill to eliminate this "problem".

someone explain why this keeps going around. composite armor is av1. laser rifle is ap2.
duel a friend. have him put a composite helmet on. headshot him 1 time with a laser rifle, and ask him how much damage the helmet stopped.
i know armor piercing was working on player created armor as of a couple of weeks ago. if it's bugged since (like it is in pve), it's news to me.
