Wait until he's not looking then sneak up behind him, apply dizzy and KD then beat to a bloody pulp at your leasure. Other than that if he sees you are a range more than 15m your screwed. Just hit burst run and get out of range.

As a rifleman/TKA only thing i can tell you is better prepare your mind. Our best shots are to the head (mind pool), as a sniper should be......If we see that Mind pool at 800 or so...... WE LIGHT UP LIKE BABIES IN A CANDY STORE!!


If we see you are fully buffed and have done nothing to prepare ur mind...... sorry ur dead. If you have COMPOSITE armor..... we use Ion rifle to shred threw that armor.... to hit the mind. If you are not in comp armor we use T-21 or a good laser rifle (and some that own it now Dxr-6)


Only way to beat us is to hope to get within lunge range..... Burst run within range as fast as u can. Only thing is u are at a disadvantage if u are seen before u see the Rifleman. IF he hits u with stun... u will be even easier to hit... and he can keep the kite going... with posture down attacks... (if it hits)


But u gotta try to find a place to hide behind or something to give u cover (if in city) until u can get close to him. Open range....Just run away...u are going to loose.....( unless u are fighting this guy named HARPOON ....LOL). It's hard. As it is very hard for us Riflemen if u are within 20 meters....And why i chose to go TKA along with my main prof...RIFLE.

get fully buffed. powerboost. drink lots of brandy. if your mind starts to dwindle, pop a maun gold. if your a commando, launch rockets at his sniper ass and pray to the commando gods that you hit. then burstrun at him and pray you land the kd/dizzy, then mindhit him until he stops twitching.if your lucky and somewhat skilled you may walk away with a win. if your not lucky and unskilled, burstrun the other way.

I would regard this quote as a five star post.


Even under the best of conditions such as starting within 20m of a rifleman, and you havea reasonable defensive stacking template such as PistolTechs4, and your mind buffed, (e.g. dancer & musician buffs, 2 shots of +400 brandy, that Canape food, Powerboost, Migrated Mind stats, etc.. etc.. etc..) your chances against a rifleman are still 50/50 at best.


If all you're bringing to the fight is your TKM skills, and you're mind buffed? Then it's more like 40/60.


If all you're bringing to the fight is your TKM skills, and you're mind buffed, and you're starting from 50-60m out? Then it's more like 20-30/70.


If all you're bringing to the fight is your TKM skills, and you're Not mind buffed, and you're starting from long range? Save yourself some time and run in the direction of the cloning centre, because you're going to end up there anyways very shortly.


I am certainly no pvp god, but I know this much, even if my mind is somewhat buffed andI can close the distance between a rifleman and myself to within 10m or so if I can't get lunge or KD or something to get them to stop kiting me to stick within his first 3 shots or so, I turn and run in the other direction and with any luck I get out of it alive.


Is there any good news you ask?


Well I'll say this much, if the rifleman you're going up against is inexperienced or makes a mistake such as follows you into town or engages you in a close-courters arealike a cantina or inside of any building then you ability to kd-dizzy him greatly increases at which point finishing him off with UH3 is almost a formality, (and it feels really good to). Same thing applies if the rifleman decides to run in tight circles instead of a straight line which allows you to close the distance very quickly.


I'll tell you, I hate to give credit to riflemen much less any particular rifleman, (filthy bastards! hahaha jk), and even a rebel to boot. But if you're a rifleman on Ahazi server looking to learn/perfect your art, I have yet to find another rifleman who's form/technique is as perfect as Proto-fish's. He seems to know how to maximize his strengths and minimizes his weakness's to an almost art-form level, (and that damn chef's hat he wears is really annoying =) ).


Only other thing I can think of, is if you can get help, for instance get 2-3ppl (yes I know it seems like overkill), to help in taking down a rifleman as opposed to just the one-on-one thing then do that, or you could always become a TKM/Rifleman yourself with a better defensive stacking template than your opponent, (guess what I'm doing =) ).


Hope that helps

Tal.
