If this be a Hotshot, Rampage, Time Trial, Outfit Unlock, Etc ...Feel free to share.
I'd say mine was the 5000 kills with a Bolt Action Sniper Rifle. It was'nt to hard but a grind to say the least exp coming off the BMG, and Sawed Off complete Commando feats.
Moonshine shack is trash..when I complete that, you'll be the first to know..good thing I got the silver on the chicken shoot while it was still glitched.
Getting to level 3 with my BMG. :(
Getting the Waterfront pursuit out of the way. Now I don't have to worry about sticking to someone's posterior to get a rescue kill anymore.
Rampage: Smash... To be fair, only after I just about broke my controller in disgust and handed it to my 13yr old son who bested it first try and with a smerk asked why I had such a hard time with it. I finally got Gold of my own doing.
Every level of BMG I make feels like winning the internet. Until I realize theres more to go and then I cry a bit and move on.
Im hoping mine will be finishing the damn patch.
Getting the 15 clan mates at ark falls and shawdow wars in one night was pretty Epic.
I thought the social pursuits were totally unattainable till this happened.
Definitely getting to level 10 with sawed offs. Goodness that was a PAIN, and I don't think I will pick up another sawed off for the rest of my Defiance career. Lol.
Social pursuits - that's why I will not have them. I prefer to have only people I truly truly like (for very strange reasons though usually) on my friends list.
Getting all weapons skills to 20 in particular rocket launcher and BMG's
I loved hitting rank 20 rocket launchers, but oh my god... Getting rank 20 BMGs was such a *OO-LA-LA* pain to hit...Quote:

I did max on a few other weapons at level 20, but I want a 100% max on all weapons so I’m sure ill be leveling it up the BMG past 10 soon. I wonder when new DLC hits if they will add Weapon level 20 feats on some weapons like they had the Reach level 10 feats. Some of us might get auto awarded outfits if so. Also I never seen a SMG/Pulser Feat award I’d like to see that in the new DLC.
Going from bronze to gold on Moonshine Shack when I just wanted Silver!
The 1st key to all these challenges is never hit the retry button. I find it's glitchy/harder when you do. The 2nd key is perks & shield choice; for this one: Scavenger (u must pick up ammo dropped), Regeneration, Thick Skinned, Fail Safe, Rear Guard, Cellular Armor and a Respark Regenerator. Stay on the move / hide to recover, but kill as fast as you can cuz once the Hulker comes out to play it's pretty difficult. I got to gold before he showed up. Wish I had a game recorder… Best I have is a cell phone screen shot of the reward screen.
As for Chicken Reservoir, you can get gold by ignoring the disappearing/flock chickens. Just get the one that stays on the post and the 2 that appear on the ground lined up vertically (crouch on the ground) and shoot them in succession as they appear: ground, ground, post (repeat). Gold every time. It's slow and tedious but it's legit. There's a youtube vid showing this method so I can't take credit.
completing all the Living to Kill pursuits
Hmm. For actually completed, I'd go with either wrapping up all of the Pursuits for each region (which I finished up this week by wrapping up Sharpshooting Savior, Moonshine Shack, and then blazing through the last San Francisco side missions I needed to finish), or perhaps getting the black Dodge Challenger.
The former was rough if only because of a few Hotshots and Rampages. I find it frustrating that Hotshots aren't about skill so much as about perks. I finally ended up entirely respeccing so that I could get a couple of necessary perks to get through Sharpshooting Savior. In all, I'm better specced now, though, since I paid closer attention to what perks I'd use as I went this time.
The latter was rough if only because of glitches and emergencies. I can't even begin to count the number of times before a major patch when I'd try to start a race and get going with 5 seconds already on the clock. Then, recently, as I finished the last few gold rankings, I kept having to restart because I'd start a time trial, go through the first gate, and it wouldn't trigger that the gate had been passed. On top of that, the day I finished up one time trial (I forget which, but I think it was in Sausalito), I had to drive through three different hellbug emergencies that had Monarchs that would, in two of the three locations, frequently swat my runner out of the air mid-course when I otherwise had nothing to do with those emergencies. At least in the case of these, I can see how needing to increase your runner level should make a difference. At least it isn't all about perks on driving.
As for what'll be toughest in the future, I have to agree with those who noted the social pursuits. My best bet at this point has been to just randomly hit the "nearby" command and try to friend folks who are nearby until I finally, hopefully, will end up with dumb luck and have 15 online at the same time. Since I rarely play online multiplayer on anything (except High Moon's Transformers games or to get platinum trophies on Uncharted games), I don't think I even HAD 15 friends overall when I picked up Defiance, let alone having 15 who are PLAYING Defiance, or who are playing at the same bloody time.
Now I need to look for a clan that is big enough to make some of the clan-based social pursuit goals even remotely doable. : shrug :
That's hard to say. There's a lot of really proud moments in the game for me. For instance, getting the 1080 degree spin for the Pedal to Metal 5 pursuit kept ALMOST happening for me, and then one day when I wasn't even trying to do it, I flew off a mountain in San Fran, only to realize I was over a canyon, and started spinning. lol
Taking down a Volge emergency with just a sniper rifle at skill level 3 was a good one. So was beating Nim with a Courier, with the last shots consisting of me jumping over his blast attacks, and each time as I came down, I was able to make such perfect shots, that I still smile at the image of repeatedly giving Nim a pair of flashing explosive Cookie Monster-googly-eyes on the top of his head. :)
Most recently, I completed all of the Living to Kill pursuits, getting the Collective Infiltrator title/outfit, and have only two combat pursuits left before all 17 are completed, with the last two mostly complete.
But there are other, smaller moments that carry every bit as much meaning. Like reviving another player at an Arkfall, only to realize at the end when looking at the stats, that because I'd put the perk on my Arkfall fit, I'd actually revived 5 players and had been more help than I thought.
Seeing another player who's being overwhelmed and falling back, only to have me fall in beside them and help to turn a retreat into a shoulder-to-shoulder massed-fire advance. Or showing noobs what a BMG can really do, and why they should consider it a standard sidearm. lol
i have two feats. the first being getting the "legendary ark hunter' title since my ark fall kills kept resetting so many times. and the second would be mastering "the motherlode" map, more or less beating the motherlode in under 5 minutes since shooting the top of him gets aggrivating when you're surrounded by players that dont know what they're doing.
Making it to ego level 1500+ inspite of the server timeouts.
4k Ego so i could have all my perks for pvp was pretty important to me
