a couple months ago while i was hologrinding, my friend was at that time a Master Rifleman. at one point in guild chat she mentioned that she was just doing missions for money. i asked her how, and she said she was doing Enraged Rancor missions. But she would just run up, stand 50-60 meters out, and take out the lair in a couple of shots. i have now made my alt into a Rifleman/CM combo, and would like to know if this is true?? im a couple hours away from Master Rifles, and have yet to master medic, so this would be a nice income atm. 40k for a couple shots is not a bad deal.
Can this be done??

I wouldn't say a "couple" of shots nut yeh you can it with a nice damage sliced T 21 with a pup t make around 700-800 damage being speed capped helps too. In my experience it takes around 20-30 secs to take down the lair. But then you gotta get on your bike and run.

Get master rifles, then spam the lair with strafeshot II, massive damage against all in a 30 degree cone. It helps if you have at least 95 speed (the 5 bonus from either master marksman or a sea) so you cap your speed with a 5.something weapon. Use a dxr6-b as these do most damage (rancors have low acid resistance)
And I would think they would heal the Lair?
not if they are dead, which they will be short after you start spammen ssII

If you use a nice acid rifle, it may take you a bit longer (another 10-20sec), but you won't need to run from all those pissed off Rancor. They'll be dead.

buffs and kinetic armor... you don't need to run.
stay away from ancient bull rancors.... not worth the extra effort. (they have higher resists)

There really isn't much point now that the solo mission nerf is here. but truthfully you can solo rancs without the main attacks. Just a nice CXR6-b rifle and headshot3. You got yourself a dead rancor in no time
