- Guass Rifle, but the range is not as long, and the ammunition is a pain to get (whether through buying or stealing).

Although with 12 APs, Fast Shot, 10 AGI and the perk that reduces inventory access by 1 AP, one can shoot with the Bozar, switch to the Vindicator and shoot again, and finally access his/her inventory to reload and heal. This was the overkill combination I used with my soloist, along with Plasma Grenades and the Mega Power Fist (Slayer perk [img]graemlins/showoff.gif[/img] ), among other things like the Heavy Flamethrower... Ahhhh... nothing like driving into New Reno and burning everybody on a critical (Sniper perk + 10 Luck).
