I am looking to go loot hunting with another Master Rifleman friend of mine and I wanted to know what tactics work in battle. We will be hunting Nightsisters or Singing Mountains and I just wanted to know what tricks everyone else knows. Also, what is the best way to hunt Krayts with a 2 person group. Just looking for ideas. Thanks

Tactics are pick off everything anything above 15k with conceal shot,
use HS3 for the rest (running backwards helps)-
sentinals and stalkers you cannot kill as RM so I normally poison them and punch unarmed for 1 point of damage. Can be tricky
Elders take about 11 mins to conceal shot using powerup T21 ( fill your pack with powerups - you can equip a powerup whilst in combat btw)
expect to die every so often - these ladies can be nails.

When the elders agro, stand up, dump your conceal shot macro and begin strafing. Make sure you plot an escape route and keep running!

I'm not sure of your templates, but if either you or your friend have intimidate and novice medic with stim C's or above, you can take elders toe to toe with just headshot3.
Tactics - 1 person can drag nightsisters all over with just kiting - they go through fast and slow modes - usually slowing down after their initial fast burst. Save your burst run till after they have caught up to you and have taken a little damage, then burst away and watch them stay at 30m away from you, never hitting you while you headshot them to death. With aggro on 1 person, the other can follow behind attacking without ever being attacked by the target. Another trick is bleed pulling - use mindshot and an immediate peace on the target you wish to draw from the crowd. Back up 30-40m or so and wait for the bleed to tick. As soon as it does, the one you bled will come barreling out of the crowd at you while the others stay behind, giving you a much easier time than having 6 NS's aggro on you at once.
Protectors, stalkers, and spell weavers are 100% resistant to all riflemen damage types - you either need a meleer in the group or need to just plan on avoiding them.

1. shoot elder
2. get on bike
3. ride it around in cirlces till it slows down
4. keep distance from it to not get dmged
5. kill it, it should be walking

That's so mean... scaring the poor dear until she breaks down and cries. Does she just hand you her purse or something?

You guys are forgetting the old ping pong method. To masters standing about 80m away from each other trading the argo back and forth. But take note to the 100% resistant ones stated above. These need to be dealt with be another means like picking up a melee profession or something.
