Rifleman Archive

Okay quite frankly.. Pistols are way strong.. it's pitiful that the only time riflemen beat me is when I'm using heals(Lowering my own mind)

I'm either going Carbineer or Rifleman. I'm just wondering, what are the pros of rifleman? =)

distance, heavy damage, mind pool damage, spraystick, bow caster. That's about it.

Being a rifleman also means getting to do lots of damage from afar. Nothing beats the fun of taking out a jawa in one shot from over50m away and the jawa not seeingyou coming.

You're fighting crappy riflemen. Rifles can take you out with 1 shot to the head (900 damage) and finish you off with a death blow from 60 meters.

a sniper with a rifle is virtually unbeatableIFhe knows what he's doing and has a decent weapon. One or two headshots will drop virtually any Player Cahracter in the game. Or you can do one good mindshot and walk away - wait for them to bleed to death, and then DB.

You cant heal mind, but you can heal action and health. I can sit there and pump out a 600 pt heal to my health and action. While your stuck with decreasing mind. And yes, the rifleman your fighting arent very smart, and probably ill equiped.

also, the stealth abilities are nice.

Rifles get better armor piercing ratings on their weapons.Someone on the pistol board posted it. I think ONE pistol has AR1. The rest 0. Carines are AR1-AR2/. Rifles are AR1-AR3.

In short, rifles do more than the listed damage if they are higher than the armor they are hitting. PC crafted is AR1.

I've seen rifles with up to 500 damage (T21 I believe), and spraysticks with 2.0 speeds. Combine that with mind pool hits that cannot be healed.. What is headshot 3 with a rifle that can hit for 500 base?

Rifles will get better as more of the population gets good armor..pistols will diminish, carbines will still complain about action cost as they knock you down at range and keep you there 'till you're dead Just kidding..sort of
