Thread: DXR-6b rifle question, please help
So it says you are not certified because you are not certified. Stop using specials, you don't have the Mind to spare....
No counter sniping is the third column, so i do have it.... I got the gun and then worked the boxes i needed for it... i found it on the forums buried anyway so thanks...
G-like
Apparently, theyhave introduced the weapon before they added the cert to the skill tree. I am a Master Rifleman, and I still see Certified = No. This will eventually be corrected. Even with the Certified = No, when I equip it, I do not get the system message saying I am not certified and I will do less damage. Likewise, when I shoot it, I get the damage I would expect, so it is just that they have to added the Cert to the tree yet. But I can use it normally. I would say that if you are not getting that system message, then I would not worry about it.
And you are correct. CounterSniping is column 3, not 2. Column 2 is Concealment.

The /examine screen is bugged. If you have the appropriate skill, it'll work even though it says Certified: No. Republic blaster, Geonosian stun blaster, and Nym carbine are also like this.
The examination window isn't bugged. The reason that it still says "Certified: No" even if you really can use it to it's full potential, is because there really is no certification for it at all. If you check your list of weapons you are certified for, you will not see weapons such as the republic blaster, nyms slug thrower, etc in there anywhere. Also if you look in the rifleman counter sniping II and pistol techniques II (I think) you wont see any certs you can get for the new DXR-6B or the geonosian sonic blaster.
If you don't posess the actual physical certification for it (i.e. sitting in your skills window) then it will still say you arent certified for it even if you are. The devs need to add the certs for the new rifle and pistol to thier resptective trees, as well as a certification for the republic blaster and nym slug thrower that everyone has.
Lazy devs..../tsk

Actually, the certs for all those weapons are going in with Publish 7.
So, Tuesday they should go into effect. Gonna piss a lot of people using Repubs and Geno pistols off.
Where did you see a dev say they were going in with publish 7? Too lazy to dig through the dev tracker. 
And I don't think it'd tick anyone off, seeing as how you still can't use the DXR-6B/Sonic Blaster until you have the skill boxes the certs are supposed to be in. There just isn't any physical cert for it yet.
As long as they make the republic blaster cert given to you automatically without any skills it'd be fine.

You can't use the sonic blaster unless you have pistol techniques 2 or whatever it says in the /examine screen. I don't have it, and I can't use it.

Hmmm, wonder if they've already snuck the certs in, as I've used all these weapons without the "You are not certified blahblahblah will do reduced damge" message.
No, but all the non-combat types who pack a Republic Blaster are not going to be happy, now they'll have to go back to CDEFs or something.
I don't remember which dev said this, and the frigging search is borked for some reason, but this isn't a "friend of a friend who heard it from a Master Begger" thing. I could SWEAR I read a dev statement with this in it.
If I'm wrong I'm going to be cranky. I've been burning up my Blasters with specials and powerups to get the most out of them before I can no longer use them.
Oh, well.
