I just got conceal shot tonight and let me just say...Holy Flurking Shnit!!!. I know its not the most powerful shot in the world, but as a meatshield addict, it just plain rocks not to have to rely on my pet to stay alive. I took out a desert squill lair and a dewback lair, not the hardest i admit, but its the first time ive done it with a pet pulled but totally unused. I never thought I would find a shot I would enjoy as much as headshot, but concealshot is making it a close race. I still smile whenever I headshot someone from 50m, and its what drew me to the rifle as a marksman, but safely soloing is a pretty attractive thought too. Anyway,I just wanted to share my latest moment of joy from the fun side of a rifle scope. Its almost enough to kick my meatshield habit, but Im not quite there yet. One day maybe...

2.5x, same as Headshot. But it's Random HAM, so it takes a bit longer.

Erf. Meant Headshot 2. Stupid lack of an edit feature.

Thank you for the info. I'm a TKM who is dumping MCH fo MRM. I'm still wondering if I'm making the right choice. CH is too easy but it's nice to be able to solo things. With conceal shot it sounds like I can.

Im dropping my CH skills and picking up TK after MRM because with concealshot the chances of needing a pet are dramatically lower, and with the defense bonuses of a rifle/tk combo, so what if you get aggroed. they just die up close instead of far away. and I cant wait for a PvP bully to see my rifle title and try to start something, only to get decked by tk kd. life has its moments of pure joy, and that will be one of mine.

I hope so too, but I just had an experience that will get the nerf bats swinging. I was on lok and came across a dune kimo. I was feeling brave, so I popped a muon gold and decided to see how long it would take for it to aggro me into a cloning center. It took two rounds of muon,but I concealshot the kimo to death after sending in my pet for the last few hundred health points. 4200 rifle exp 1210 ch exp. That'll get them swinging the nerf bats . Anything that fun will be snatched away for sure.
