My friend and I are both riflemen, and we went out krayt hunting (tickling) but had some major problems. We ended up dying multiple times due to the krayts suddenly attacking us for no reason while doing conceal shot.
Theres no way that one of us could tank, so we went with the conceal shot. We managed to successfully kill 4 giant krayts out of about 8. And we finally found out what caused the krayt to attack us. Whenever it bleeds it will agro on us. Is there any way to prevent our shots from making it bleed? Really frustrating.
We even setup a house out there because we would die so much so that we can run to safety now when they agro us.
Not whining or complaining just hoping that we can find a way to prevent the bleeding hehe.

Oh and what REALLY sucks, even though our house is 75 meters from the krayt, if it bleeds attacks us and we then go inside the building and peace the krayt will fully recharge it's health 
We had it down to 50k on one of em and he did that. Ahh well.

Ya right, those guys HURT so bad...I mean what are you suppose to do when the krayt hits you in the head? Can't heal your mind so you're screwed. Not to mention my friend has to go naked because it costs so much mind to shoot his rifle (hes a zabrak)

Sounds like he's doing this without a mind buff from an entertainer and/or no mind foods/drinks. Brandy is good asa general mind boost as it goes to all 3 stats there. Ahrissa will make it so that your mind does not drain from firing your riffle. Alos, make sure you are using some synth steak to mitigate some of the damage a suddenly agroed krayt will do to you until you are able to get out of dodge!

warning shot huh? How often can it apply to a creature? Will it be so effective that I won't be attacked once? I need more details if you don't mind, never tried this before 
Such as, does one rifleman only do warning shot and the other guy only does headshot or would I mix it up? And why would they need to be on opposite sides?

The idea is to get the krayt doing a 'ping pong' routine.
Your friend does 'warning shot' while you do 'headshot.' Then when the krayt turns to attack you, you do 'warning shot' and your friend does 'headshot'.
If you're on opposite sides of the Krayt, 60 meters away, you can, theoretically, get away with this. Also, if you're both on the same side of the krayt, one of you can keep 'bouncing' the krayt away with warning shot while the other hits headshot.
You'll need to experiment with this and both get used to the timing.

Not sure if that works, but you get on opposite sides and play "pong" with the Krayt.
Use HS3, when it moves towards you, hit it with Warning Shot and it should run the other way.
Your partner should be doing the same.
I've even heard of 3 Rifleman setting up a Triangle around the Krayt... Guess it won't know which way to run?
