Rifleman Archive

Currently I am a climbing my way up the Scout tree and I am a Novice Rifleman. My plan is for Master Rifleman and Master Ranger. Currently my hunting method comprises of
1) maskscent, prone
2) Cover
3) Conceal Shot
4) Conceal Shot
5) Conceal Shot

Target is usually 50% health now and discovers me

6) Throw trap (Noisemaker because currently I am only Trapping 2)
7) Stand
8) Sic pet (Probot) on target
9) Run using headshot

I dont think I will ever be able to use Aimed Shot,Aim, etc as it instantly blows my cover.

This normally works for me 80% of the time..tho I do get hurt a lot hehe.

My question is as I progress thru the scout and rifle trees...will I be able to pick off a target of similar level without losing concealment?

Also...if anyone can suggest alternatives / improvements to my method I'd appreciate it

I am usually only able to get off about 3 conceals before the MOB charges me and discovers me. I am lvl80 and this has been true no matter what lvl MOB I am fighting. Sorry.

make sure to level trapping first (once you get past a certain CL you get no trap xp anymoreas the traps no longer stick on experience granting targets (a bug))

replace step 5 with snipershot as cover usually breaks at that stage anyway so get the biggest hit you can out of it.

replace 6 once you get a bit higher in level with kneecap shot as traps don't work on high cl level stuff

at stage 9 I would then cycle Headshot +Startleshot +rangedshot orother marksmen specialsbecause they are on different timers and you can increase your damage output.
