At Marksman, one of the best tricks in combat against NPC's is going prone from a far distance (but not too far) before attacking a target. You can earn this through killing creatures and harvesting their meat (so it's nice to have marksman to kill the creatures with, and you can get two types of XP this way when you kill a creature), or by using the scout ability Mask Scent and evading creatures who are trying to detect you.Ĭombat is one of the most important parts to being a Bounty Hunter. Therefore, if you start at pistols, it's better to work on your whole line of Pistols (to IV) instead of dabbling with Rifles I-II or Carbines I-II.Īs a scout, you'll need scouting XP. It doesn't really matter what you do first, but you should level one whole branch at a time. (Carbines in SWG somewhat resemble guns like M-16's or sub-machine guns IRL. A while back they changed the requirement for BH from Master Scout to just the Exploration branch of Scout.Īs a Marksman, you have to become well-learned in three common ranged weapon types: Pistols, Carbines, and Rifles. That way you'll already be working your way towards Bounty Hunter. You should start the game as either a Marksman or a Scout.
