Rifleman Archive

As I approach master rifleman (currently 4/2/3/3) I will probably venture into PvP land. Was wondering, as we no longer 1 shot people, is there any strategies that I need to be aware of? Or, how should I approach large scale or single confrontations? Thanks for any imput.

I have a 750 dmg (sliced and powerup) pre-nerf T21 so i often 1 shot people using strafeshot2. If they are buffed in H/AI use headshot3. If they got a pet i try to go for the pet owner and get a ranged DB in before the pets get to me. If i cant i whip out a spraystick and warning shot them away.

Sometimes if i come across a solo player i will suppression fire him copled with a flurry2 and keep him from doing anything.

Against a BH its pretty much down to luck as it is right now. If i can get a big first shot in i will kill him before he can shoot a KD. If not he will most likely win. If there are any houses or other objects nearby i'll try and run behind those to keep out of LOS until the KD timer runs out. With 99% certainty they'll try and eyeshot you to death so get outta dodge if you get knocked down.

I also use a stromtrooper commando pet often. When i see a target i stick him on it from long range to get his autofire on my pet. Then i move in for the kill. Always try and keep in motion to present a moving target to your enemy.

I'm always buffed in H/A and if red dots appear on my radar i tend to eat some muon gold to prepare for battle. Gives a nice boost to your 3 mind stats so you can shoot forever without draining your mind.

I PvP'ed solo outside Anchorhead yesterday for 3 hours, killing many, manyrebels. It went so well my doctor buffs actually expired on me since I never diedrofl. Well theres a first for everything

I'm a novice rifleman and I do pretty well in PvP as long as the enemy stays away from me. If a pistoleer runs up to me and blasts me i'm pretty **edit**ed but if they keep their distance and go prone I will own them. The shots I mostly use for PvP are mindshot 1, mindshot 2, Headshot 3 (and down to Headshot 2 if my mind starts decreasing too much) in that order. Since most bounty hunters and whatnot have like 500 mind it doesn't take more than 1 or 2 headshots most of the time to take them out.

I love it when someone posts something like this and the response is basically "get a pre-nerf T-21, they rock!"

There's maybeone factory runof those on my server. We have 1 smith who can make T-21's.

So what else have we got?
