Rifleteers!

It's possible this has been asked already but here goes anyway.............

I got both 'bionic' ranged armes a la Steve Austin (na na na na na na na!). The cyborg sniper shot ability; I hear some people suggesting this grants a ranged deathblow, is this correct?! It would make my life a lot easier if it were, no need for trip incapps

Has anyone tried this out? I wouldn't mind a difinitive answer before equiping them with my black compo and resembling a rusty armed gimp.

Thanks Gang

No it does not. All it does is a less than stellar amount of damage with a 20 minutes cooldown.

I USED TO take Defense Stacker 2....do you?

The +5 has some kind of cybershot, the +10 says it has ranged DB.

The +5 shot is pretty lame, don't pvp so not sure if the ranged DB works or not.

I have used it several times. Most of time it does nothing, but 2 times it did deal a deathblow on the jedi's i was fighting. I am guessing if you use it at the proper time, extremely low health left, it deals enough damage while also giving deathblow. This is just a guess so don't take it for gold.

It does appear to have a DB functionality - but that function is sporadic at best. Just the way the devs like it. A reliable ranged deathblow was considered debalancing a 20% or less chance on that has a long recharge does seem like something they would do.

Plenty of critters have a ranged DB... /frown

And they have no warm up timer either.

I'm just happy with the 80m range I get with having both arms installed. Sniper shot is still the best shot in the game.
