Make sure you pay attention to the challenge parameter. Some hipfire challenges have a time limit (in # of seconds), headshot only, without missing a shot, and without/with being detected.
Over the shoulder aiming in 3rd person won't give you the challenge. You'll just have to time it and aim it. It'll take practice. Might take a couple of goes, but it works.
can't complete pathfinder rank 13 challenge "hit 3 headshots from more than 200m with 3 bullets"
i have gotten over 40 headshots from 200 meters or more, been grinding the challenge from the top of the liberty airport tower with a suppressed tac50 with ballistic advantage, at that range with the height difference there is no bullet drop to compensate for
this is clearly a bug because i havent had any issues getting my other classes to rank 20
me too. Try with different gun, I have completed this yesterday with about 50+ headshot-kills before (Pathfinder class, mostly using it special-vision-mode), but havent notice / cant remember what exactly I have changed... I believe that I swithed from TAC50 to Scorpio. May be that was a reason...Originally Posted by Bob...Ross Go to original post
I've now done both Pathfinder and Sharpshooter and had no issues with either and the hipfire challenges, using a 416 Scout or a Tac50.
@vTinzv it's my understanding that kills by AI teammates don't count. Sync shot drones do count, as long as the challenge isn't for use with a specific weapon.
@Bob...Ross you are saying you're getting three consecutive headshots? Because they have to be in a row and no misses. I didn't have any trouble with that one, and did it from the west side of the heliport on Golem using pretty much the same setup as you as far as gun/skills. I did see some comments that 'low' headshots weren't counting right, but... I did like to use Wolves for these though, since there's that definitive plink of the helmet to let you know it was in fact a headshot.
Now for my bug experience, it's been Sharpshooter 18, 30 hits on human targets without missing. I went well over 30 with the Tac50 running around the vicinity of Dead Horse Bivouac and not a single miss, couldn't get it to register. The first 15 hits were even the body part challenge (two leg then chest then head three times), and I made sure to not even take a shot at drone. I've seen others reporting this same issue, and getting the job done with an MP7 on single shot against a heavy. I'll try it again tomorrow with the Tac or maybe a DMR, and then I'll resort to the MP7 method to see if I can get it done.
