Hot Shot: Reservoir Chickens

From the look of it your video is from a pc, which yes in a scenario like this point and click shooting is much simpler than using a 360 or ps3 controller.

I apologise for the low quality of the video.

9 shots missed, 1770 end score, gold medal.

Well I stand corrected about you talking out of your ***. That said I didn't have nearly as easy as time with it and constantly ran into problems with chickens being snatched and losing the bonus. From the video it seems like you're fine if you can maintain your bonus but if you lose it at all you have no chance of hitting silver.

The thing is, the guys pretty much follow the same path from what I saw throughout my attempts. Watching the minimap like a hawk helped me out greatly. If you're not going to get a chicken because of a rancher? Just move further down the line and hit the next chicken. Or if its during the time that the chickens spawn and than get taken almost immediately after, just go down a few posts and shot when it comes up.

Oh, and don't go haywire when the multiple chickens come up. Take your time and just hit what you know you can hit.

Don't play with a controller...
You can't gimp yourself horribly then complain aiming is too hard.

I hate this challenge personally.... Bleh. In fact, all of the shooting challenges seem to confound me for some reason. Well, not all of them but enough of them. Lol, I can stay top three consistently at Arkfalls but can shoot some damn chickens....

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 ***.

Thanks for the video, at least i now have a clue how to do this challenge.

And yeah, watching your video, you got the gold after you hit 1350.

You're a moron.

If a Million people say that it's hard then it's not ridiculously easy to do.

I gotta say i am loving playing the game so far........ But then this seriously stupid task comes up and its brutal hard ( I had less problems completing Dark Souls!! ) and what wrecks my head ever more is the poor pay-out for completing it. Its the most pointless task i have seen in a game for quite some time. I know everyone is doing the glitch to get past it and i would nearly do the same at this point.... I will keep on trying tho hahaha.

Bump, plus I could see how this could deserve a slight nerf. I have had no trouble completing any of the other challenges except this one. What I believe, personally, is that when this challenge was first brought up the developer had 2 running around, one placing and one picking up the chickens. When the Alpha players just started "following the placer" around and "killing the thief" to get the -3 but still rack up the kills it was adjusted and a 3rd placer added.

I'd say take away 1 of the ranchers to aide the majority of the player base that are using consoles. I will continue to try no matter what, as soon as it's the last one I need to do for Madera, however I do not expect my skill level should fall so terribly short in this one challenge that I cannot even place bronze yet I place Gold (with honors a few times) in other challenges.
