Rifleman Archive

explain to me when you see a sniper strafing with a rifle that is meant to be used at range? i mean today this master rifleman got off two 1250 damage shots in the time it takes me to fire about five eyeshots, and it was at 10m's both hit me and killed me instantly, bounty hunters get their one shot kill taken away but riflemen get to keep an attack that can do the same as prenerf underhand? i meani could understand if it took time to aim and then fire, but it doesn't its nearly as fast as some of the pistol attacks if you have a good rifle and thats just complete bs

and ?

Eye shot is a tier 2 skill, Stafe 2 is a master skill.

Now i don't believe the 10m part. Sorry but that's not really very believable. If he got you 2x at that range either you misread your range indicatator, which we all tend to exaggerate on, or he got super lucky.

That post was BS, your either lying about the range or he did actually perform a very rare feat.

-Myrick- is right, a Master skill should own a tier 2 skill, no questions asked.

It's called dumb luck. He has a -70 chance to hit at that range.

Look at what he did:

1. He hit you twice in a row at 10m range (-70 to hit each time)
2. Both strafe2's were for high damage
3. Both strafe2's hit the same pool
4. He survived your eyeshots without incapping himself

Instead of whining, you should be rejoicing that you got to witness such a rare and miraculous feat!

Also, I think you're a liar... 5 eyeshots is a lot of AR1 damage... what are you using... a CDEF? or just a really crappy Scatter?

He shouldn't have survived that unless you're a liar, your damage sucks, or his mind was buffed.

I got hit yesterday by a BH at over 75m, this is on a stable connection, I've also been hit by melee mobs that are 35m away and seen incapped players slide 30m. Like you say, range is just buggy in this game.

Tell you what. You can complain that Strafe Shot 2 is more powerful than Eyeshot when I can go toe-to-toe against a Bounty Hunter using Lightning Cone 2 while trying to spam Startle Shot 1.

I am not setting out to Bounty Hunter bash, here, but what you essentially said (assuming everything else is correct) is that your Level II shot should be able to stand up against a Master shot. That sounds arrogant, and it reflects poorly on the Bounty Hunter community. It's the kind of statement that causes resentment towards Bounty Hunters.

I would highly advise you to think about those sorts of things before you post, and to at least provide screenshots of your combat spam (which can be taken after the battle by extending the chat window, scrolling up, and taking screenshots) so people can see the damage, if not the general situation.
