How to combat GUN users

[RpTheHotrod]

pretty much, if the gunner is using the repeater/fletchette, and also using absorb, any saberist had better run or pull out a gun also.

range = 5 ammo = 15 rate of fire = medium unblockable also causes splash damage

 

rocket launcher = 100 damage or 50 health damage (if you have full shields) range = 10 ammo = 1 rate of fire = medium unblockable also causes splash damage

Um.. some of that information is wrong

 

The Golan Arms Flechette weapon alt fire is not an instant kill. It takes about two shots to kill a person. (Or Maybe I'm wrong, maybe the explosives weren't aimed at me properly in that game) Also, it is blockable, you just need jedi reflexes I blocked them before, you just need to block them while they are in the air; and be very quick doing it.

 

Again, this can be blocked while in the air.

 

And again, the rocket launcher is blockable, you just have to force push the rocket while its coming toward you. And it should be easy too, rockets travel very slowly:)

i'm not talking about being able to push things away because you can push ANYTHING (except disruptor fire) away and you bringing up that point is just plain stupid. also i'm talking about when you first are spawned and have 100/25 and i know for a fact that the flechette is an instant kill at 100/25 because on bespin i've been killed like that many a time.

oh yah one thing i have discovered that i was in error in though was the imperial repeater secondary fire. i found out that a direct hit does exactly 30 damage so it would take 5 hits to kill someone with 100/25.

Well I was talking about full sheilds.

 

 

 

...but guns>sabers period...

 

Quoted by another person:

 

....if you only use one or two of the attacks available to you in the game ie the saber + force you ....

 

And about the rocket/repeater thing, I assumed your "miniature guide" meant w/ forcw powers too. My apology.

As was said in the previous, lightsabers are not an ultimate, all purpose weapon. It's only useful as a weapon if you are in some proximity to the gunner, but remember as you are trying to slash at him you are leaving yourself vulnerable and unable to block incoming shots. If you try to DFA the guy the rapid fire of the repeater will probably kill you before you even get off the ground. If you are 50 yards from the gunner there is no way a lightsaber will kill him or her (well unless you throw it maybe). So it is best to just go guns v. guns and saber v, saber (but it's always nice to get a kill because the shot's are reflected back by your saber and killing the gunner), although the saber will be useful in blocking most of incoming shots of primary fires of most of the gun types.

I go with what alot of others have said in this post: if your fighting a good gunner.... PULL OUT YOUR OWN GUN also if by some bizarre twist of fate u happen to get close enuf to em... PULL PULL PULL lol... kinda newbish but it works...
