As a M-Rifleman and nothing else combat related, I do most of my cash destroy missions on faction terminals. I fire the knee cap, see the +snared+ come up and the nme promptly runs up to me into their weapon range and starts blasting.
Does it only work PvP, or only against critters?

It does work - the precentage reduction vs other snares is much smaller.
(like 5% vs 10-20%)

I have the same problem and it seems to me, without testing, that the snare is very broke. I'd say between 5-10% of the time out of the 100% +snare+ I see land it actually slows down my target. I shoot it but cannot rely on it as I should. As a rifleman I should be able to rely on slowing a target because once they get to me, if it weren't for Doc I would be dead in moments.
*edit: Damned spelling mistakes.

Tell me about it. Was solo hunting gorax and kneecap shot did crap. I am running away hit him with kneecap, and he still gains on me. What gives?

5-7% slowdown for kneecap shot
7-11% slowdown for packing a rifle
creatures/melee are naturally faster then players
= creatures gain on yourapidly if you are packing a rifle.

Do you know if kneecap shot will stack with crippling shot? Since it is so low a snare it'd kinda hard to tell whenever I fire 'em both off accidentaly.

completely nasty when they are stacked.... almost a root!
I also do that lots with my brother
he does crippling and I apply kneecap at the same time - poof no more movement (actually they do move but so slow that you can walk away from them.)

Put away your rifle if your gonna run(it takes up no time to do it) after you kneecap something. I usually equip a melee weapon just for looks. Then put it back on when your gonna shoot.
