Hot Shot: Reservoir Chickens

Anyone got any tips for this?

I can't seem to get past Bronze no matter what I try. There's way too many Ranchers and they run around so fast that they collect all the chickens before I can keep my streak to around 15 or so after the first flock. I try to keep the ground one to keep my bonus alive during down periods but it eventually runs out and bonus resets and I can't get past 360.

Trying to hit Silver for the Zone Completion but seems impossible (and most of the high scores exploited the bug to shoot your weapon).

Only way I could ever get it there is through the exploit. Been sending feedback on that during last 2 Betas but it doesnt change

You can basically miss 10 shots or so and still have plenty of bullets to get a gold, I honestly don't know what to say other than practice your aiming until you are able to do it.

Using the minimap to see when the chicken's spawn behind you can help on occasion but really, if you have any modicum of skill whatsoever this is an extremely easy challenge to complete...

Yea same thing eventually occurred for me where it bugged out and I could use my shotgun and LMG instead to rack up the points into an easy gold. Was worried at first till I ran out of bullets on the shotty and thankfully it ended giving me credit. I read all the common advice to pay attention to the radar and such but I kept running into problems where I'd get a bad sync of guys and they'd pick up the chickens as they spawn and there went the x30 multiplier :/ I had no problems hitting, just when there's nothing to hit not much you can do about it.

You're a total joke. You're literally the first person I've heard say it was easy and quite frankly unless you post a video of you showing how easy it is to rack up a gold with just the pistol I'm just going to assume you're talking out of your ***.

After the first wave where tons of chickens spawn, follow one of the ranchers and always look ahead of him... You should be able to kill each chicken as it pops keeping your multiplier going by just following slightly ahead of ONE of the ranchers...

Don't bother trying to hit them all, just keep your gun ahead of one of them and you will do fine.

Don't forget to hit the green chicken, worth bonus points.

I also agree with this. It is quite difficult. The only way I was able to do it was through said exploit, which allowed me to use grenades and stuff, which was fun for the mass chicken spawn

Just keep an eye on the minimap so you can see where the chickens spawn. And leave at least one chicken hanging around (preferably the one that keeps spawning next to you and the farmers can't get to it) so that you have at least something to kill before you lose the multiplier.

Taken out of context as I scrolled down... well, you made me giggle. Thanks. ;)

I can see it being easy for some people and I could probably get past bronze with enough practice. It just seems like an inordinate amount of work for what you get out of it. For people who lack the inherent skill to shoot defenseless animals, even more so.

If it was something off to the side that you could do for fun, that would make more sense. But for some people who want area completion gear and I know a majority are, I'm sure it frustrates the living hell out of them.
