Rifleman Archive

Instead of giving rifleman hit combos, as was suggested (And what on earth justifies that for rifleman, anyways?), give us the traditional One-Shot Kill. It would be a special ability that tragets the mind bar with a monster lag time on it (10 seconds minimum?). There would be one or both of these specials or modifications of existing ones...

Option 1. There would be a percentage chance to kill instantly based upon the bonus to hit the target that would bring the mind bar to zero regardless of its level at the time. The chance to hit in the first place would be less than normal accuracy. Furthermore, a miss of an instant kill would result in a regular headshot.

Option 2.Another option would be that the gun delivers a single blow dealing twice the normal dmg to the mind bar--in effect being a much more powerful form of the headshot.

Point? Rifleman must have some ability to kill most anything around their level with one shot. If we're gonna get screwed over in other respects, at least give us that. Make it a master skill or something. Horrified of what it might do? Simply only allow this special to be used at 60+ meters and the problem is solved. All ya gotta do is move within and whammo. You might even make it so that the special is unperformable unless kneeling or prone or both. Perfect game balance. God, I should be a dev. If you think these are too powerful, you're not paying attention.

Give us hope!
