Thread: So I miss with a pistol too.....
So I made Master Riflemen, so I decided last night to start working on Master Marksmen, lol back wards I know so I pulled out a D17 what ever pistol that I looted and held on to jsut for funsies and I go and start to blast away with it. And da mn I still can't hit anythign with it. I must have missed 7 outta 10 times, granted I have no pistol boxes filled in what so ever but still it was sad. So what I'm doign now is targeting nice big creatures, using my rifle for Bleeds back off then before it dies strap on the cr ap pistol and blast away.
So heres my theory....
After you pick up riflemen it really starts to sub stract from your general ranged abilities..... I wanna see the code on that make sure they duidn't accidentally put a - sign in there for the coding.... anyways being master riflemen is great, still no T-21 but till they give um to us on our serve and Unnerf um I'm gunna boycott buyum.
What were you fighting? You can't just pick up Novice Marksman pistol skills and go fight Krayts. As a master rifleman you have a lot of rifle accuracy that doesn't apply to your new pistol.
For purposes of using a pistol, you are a noob and must fight noob mobs. I did my pistol leveling off of low level faction missions and it was great.
You will certainly find that being a 0200 marksman is a lot easier than being a 2000 marksman.
Uh. Also, the DH17 isn't certed until you hit Advanced Pistol Skill. You'll need to use a CDEF or D18 Pistol until you get at least one box, at which point you canget aDL44. Once you reach 0200 you can use the Scout Blaster and own all.
Also, don't use looted weapons, they suck.
