Hi, I currently am looking forward to advancing through the rifleman tree, but was wondering what is the best way to gain xp during these first few levels?


What are the most important shots and why? I heard mindshot 2 can stack mindshot 1 and if so what kind of dmg does it produce? As well, the flushing and flurry shots I heard are awesome and was wondering what strafe shot 1 does?


The last thing is actually soloing a creature that is con red such as a baz nitch or nightsisters. If i'm trying to solo them(is it possible?) what are the tactics that I should use? How do I avoid getting hit since their shot would kill me probably.


Thanks


ANY OTHER ADVICE WOULD BE GREAT

Well, I have found that for me personally the safest, and easiest rifle xp that I can get is by soloing Torturs and Bull Torturs on Talus. As these are only a little bit faster than you are, and they have poor terrain negitiation it makes them very easy to kite and kill. The regular torturs have around 2800-3200 HAM, i dont exactly remember, and i think the bulls have around 4200. What I do is prone, mindshot 2, headshot 3....repeat until the tortur comes within 35m, then i warning shot, as soon as warning shots suceeds, instead of chasing the tortur, i run in teh other direction to get out of max range, when the tortur turns around and charges again I spam the headshot III button to get in another headshot as soon as it comes in range. I ALMOST ALWAYS kill the regular torturs before i need to warning shot, but the bulls require warning shot and a little more time. They are well worth teh effort for the xp however. You get 2200xp for the regular torturs, and 3100 for the bulls. I can get around 60-75k rifle xp in an hour with this tactic once i actually FIND a tortur lair, the most difficult part of this whole strategy is actually finding a lair. Anyways, good luck, and good hunting.
