Pathfinder Level 9 headshots | Forums

Hi Everyone,

I am in need of some tips completing Pathfinder Level 9, the challenge where you have to kill 10 guys with headshots in a row. I have been trying all night but still haven't completed it. Does someone have any tips for me?

thank you in advance!

You could find a nice position overlooking a base, grab a DMR with a good scope and start picking off guards, only those you're 100% you're going to hit, the more isolated the better. Have patience and don't get greedy.

Take your time and play it safe. Try using a sniper or a DMR that will allow you to attach a high powered optic. The more distance between you and any enemies that might be alerted will give you plenty of time to wait for them to take cover and then you can pick them off carefully.

Super easy mode: Wander the "wilds" in just about any zone and pick on the 3-4 man patrols. Use your AI teammates sync shots on all but your target, and just pick up your headshots one patrol at a time.

I feel your pain, I completed 80 before it finally was done

I used honey badger, no reloading, no swapping, no going to bivouac, no injuries, turn team mates off
After first mag, no idea why it was not completing

Other 2 characters 10 shots done
Sneak in close, no doubt it’s a head shot. Drop em, then slip into underbrush.
Once they calm done, rinse And repeat

This is the way I did it. I tried the base route but something always managed to screw me up. Figured wandering around would be easier and it was. I just went around the Fen Bog area and used a Scorpio rifle at long range. You find a lot of 2 man patrols there and its easy to pop both.

This is the best way to do all the class challenges. Kill 20 enemies without getting spotted ? Roam. 10 headshots ? Roam. Kill x enemies without reloading ? Roam.
Those guys guarding the bikes will not even move for a moment when you kill their friend.

thanks for all the tips! i was so close......9 guys perfectly executed, went to check the map for the next patrol, marked it and when i closed the map my gun fired one round on its own

Giving up for today, going to get some sleep. back at it again tomorrow!

See, I just went to some of the smaller ancient villages. They all have several guys just wandering around, and are rarely close to each other. Once one is clear, just travel to the next. Just make sure you equip a weapon that can shoot single shot, because you don't want to mess up by holding the trigger that fraction of a second too long.

I got it by just wandering around and taking out patrols of 2-3 guys. If you want to cheese your way through it, then you can use syncshot drones.

I did this with MK17 Scout - only shoot guys you are 100% sure they will not move, be patient, if there are no easy targets at the camp you are then move to another place with easy targets.

Best regards.
