    Combat Assignment 0/3 Elite Enemies Eliminated

    Am I the only one that isn't able to complete this task in 1.8.1. I started at The Crypt and worked my way round the map killing all bosses. Did about 6-7 now but still the assignment counter is at 0/3. What am I doing wrong, or do I need to complete missions for this. If so it would be nice to have a marker on the map where to go. The crafting assignment did work but I cannot complete this one for some reason.

    Bosses are "Named" enemies, the elite troops are the ones with buff/gold health/armour bars. Do a daily HVT and some elites will turn up. Or jump into DZ9 or thereabouts, the elites patrol in groups of 3 or 4.

    Now I got the assignment completed while playing in the West Side Pier area. Not able to complete it on other area of the 'normal' map by killing elite bosses.

    Easiest way to complete that one. DZ8, E 58th St checkpoint. Go to the tower and wait, LMB and Rikers almost always there. They will try and flank behind you sometimes. And, the occasional agent will go rogue behind you too. All in good fun though. Use your Steady Hands perk here also...it helps.

    As CoOp_Gordon already mentioned above, the LZ named bosses do not count as "elite" kills for some reason.

    FYI: You do not actually need to kill elite bosses for this assignment — it can just be any generic elite level enemy in the LZ, DZ, HVT, etc.

    The quickest and easiest method (imho) is to start the Lexington Event Center mission on challenging difficulty.

    Right at the start of the mission there are 5 elites just waiting to receive some death

    If you're running a high skill power build, you can simply use a single stcky bomb to kill the group of 3 elites who are standing near each other.

    Takes about 30 seconds max

    .

    (The DZ checkpoint that TWJonesII mentioned is also really easy if you get lucky with the timing of the enemy spawns just outside the checkpoint).
