Rifleman Archive

I was pvping today and stumbled upon a sniper (i'd assume a master rifleman), this individual took out a comando, another rifleman, 2 ATST's, and me (master comando), not to mention several others in a medium sized group. This indiviualed appeared to be firing at me from nearly 80m (out of range for me) and was using master headshot 3X in 2 secs.

Durring these battles I noticed this being spammed accross the combat tab........[cbt_spam:shoot_hit] it also said some kind of error that I cant remember but I did take screenshots of it.

Has anyone ever encountered anything like this......if so how can the developers justify "fixing" the rifleman profession to make it more powerful? From what I saw today they are plenty powerful, unless of course the individual was using an exploit.

I may have been lagged on the distance but i garauntee he took out 2 atst's....incapped and slain the owners and proceeded to take down the at's......the atst did not attack as he was out of range.

he was also firing a T21 at that pace....may have been 2 shots in 2 secs but how would anyone do that with a T21?

Master rifleman with a speed power/slice or a master marksman/rifleman with any rifle will hit the 1 shot per second cap with almost any attack from a T21.

I think AT ST's get stupid when their owners die, I seen the exact same thing your talking about but with LLC. The BH kills the owner than goes over and kills the AT ST with ease.

Sounds like he had a range/dmg powerup on his rifle and more than likely a muon. What he did was very possible, but it was all skill.

The mods are insane at Master. You never miss, and you do it quick while moving.

You were lagged or something. Rifle range is 64m like every other ranged weapon class, no attacks can be fired faster than one per second, and one rifleman has no chance of killing two AT-ST unless they're NPCs and he uses concealshot (which would take at least five minutes per AT-ST) or the AT-ST owners are idiots and never told them to attack him.

I don't think AT ST's are like Rebel Troopers.

5 Strafe Shot 2's and a grin, atleast I hope not.

Yeah, there's no way that this could have happened exactly the way you describe. It should also be pointed out that Riflemen are pretty weak until we get near Master. Which is fine, but you have to really invest time and skill points into it for it to be worth much. But I don't think we should be made more powerful, just fixed so that all our attacks work and such.

there was a bug a glitch or he was an exploiter

Unless like that one guy said, the atsts went stupid after the owner died theres no way to solo an atst as a rifleman, without tanking pets. I know this because of the mutant(weaker than a normal) atst in the Warren. Its something like 20 hits to take one down, if its not shooting back at you. Also, ive never seen "[cbt_spam:shoot_hit]" before. 80 meters was probably client side lag. Its not uncommon for a master rifleman THAT HAS RANGE to annihilate everyone and everything in his path, but not atsts. Get a TKA to within 20 meters of him and hes dead, nuff said.

I was there. I know what he is talking about.

I think one of the guys got a screenie with timestamp. It was 3 HS3 shots in2.5seconds. I was drinking Muan and was down and dead in less then 5 sec. by 2 master mind shots and a flurry plus the final sniper shot. I dont use the timestamp so I didnt take a screenie.

If this is what I can look forward to when I hit master Rebellion beware!
