Yes, of course, riflemen lays back and conceal shots krayt after krayt until they find several identical tissues....I can really see where that can be expensive...

*cough*limited to 48m*cough*

Gee, can you say kited? Because that's what'll happen the second anyone sees that thing being used, which makes it completely useless.

I hate to break it to you, but conceal shotting a Krayt to death is near impossible. Spamming any attack at high end content eventuallylays a -1 tickbleed on it and then you are dead. To do this you would have to have some extreme luck on your side..

You would have to Pray to the Gods for a week and a day, Sacrifice several Lambs, and walk over a pit of Lava barefoot to get the kind of luck you are speaking of.

Besides, the way the AI works anyone can get a Krayt stuck on the landscape and Plink away at it till it is dead, that's a lot safer to do than using Conceal Shot on it. That just happens sometimes.

Another thing is, maybe this is a sign of things to come in the combat revamp? Maybe they are going to change all the weapons with such modifiers so that Pistoleers cant hit people out at 64m and Rifleman cant hit people inside 40m.. Have you thought about that? Who knows..

As for ending the nerf cries for jawa it is arguable. This gun is going to cost over a million credits easy, and I'm meaning after the schematics become semi common as opposed to now being rarer then hell meanwhile we can get our gun for a hundredth of that meaning that the obscenely rich pistoleer will be the most powerful while the rest of them are stuck between a rock and a hard place. It will deffinitely give us ammo though, just point to this, point to a krayted jawa (if they even exist) then laugh with themover a brandy or 2.

I know, we've butted heads in the concept thread and several in here. However I still wish to clarify some of the points he uses against us. Primarilly how overpowering concealshot is when, at a high level in the profession, it is truthfully useless. While true it may give our novices a slight edge over noviceother combatantsthatedge is removed extremely fast and is actually not even that great at the near novice level.
