It appears that rifle xp is broken. Last night, I went out with a hunting party and hunting fairly big game on Tatooine. I have Rifle Specialist in the Marksman tree and use a DLT20a Rifle. I would start attacking at the same time as everyone else, and after a 30 second battle or so the creature would fall, and I would get anywhere from 100-200 rifle xp. Not only does this seem very low for big-game hunting, but people who were fighting with unarmed (at about the same level of skill as myself) got 500-1500 unarmed xp per fight.

What's worse, during that 30 second battle with the big-game, I could have gotten more xp at far less the risk by killing 2 or 3 tiny green-cons outside of a local city.

So, is this intentional, or is it broken? I'm hoping right now it's the ladder, and will be fixed soon.

Use "/bug" when the problem occurs. It is much more important completing that then to post here.

Rifleman get junk XP in groups. It's pathetic really. Using your regular attack might get you better exp too (that is what is stupid right now).

XP is based on damage done, and level of the creature compared to your skill and weapon. Rifles speed is quite high, and so in a 30 second battle, you could get off 3-4 shots. The melee guys are "risking" more, but they do more damage, and so they will get a larger percent of the XP.

In this sense, yes, rifle XP is broken... so arrange with your group to have you pull, and start off with a HeadShot or a MindShot followed by a HeadShot... something to get you doing a lot of damage.

You will never get as much XP as a Brawler-type, but it'll even things out a little better.

Funny..My experience is on average better than most people, save for Brawlers. Maybe you should buy a new gun? I hit around 400-600 with my rifle right now.

I was in an 11 person group killing things that were deep red to us. Most people in the group had pistols so it was hard to target the mind when the health was what was going down.
