Sharpshooting Savior

PS4 NA
This activity is listed as part of the weekly contract for Soleptor. It’s part of the Rust Removal contract. The NPC’s you need to protect from Raiders have extremely low health making this activity near impossible. One raider can shoot the NPC 1x and 3/4 of its health is gone. This was an issue in the original game.

I recommend to either buff the NPC health. Lower the raiders damage output in this specific activity or remove activity from the contract and replace it with a different one. It would be greatly appreciated. Currently, this is the only objective holding my character back from completing Rust Removal.

This one is a pain in the butt, but it's doable, once you learn their patterns.

I'll do a vid next time and upload it - you'll see I keep an eye on where they spawn, and which ones to shoot first.

Once you get the rhythm, it's not too bad.

Not a fan of the sharpshooting ones myself, though...

Just because you can't do it is not a bug.

Or they should attack first us as far more higher threat level enemies not the technicians. I think I would do that if I would be a raider with a little brain... :)

Honestly in consoles, its way to awkward for me to aim depends on which platform you are on.

It's doable if you shoot them before they reach the van . But more health would be nice since sniping is a lot harder on consoles.

I love doing this hotshot, it is quite easy especially if you use the sight and know where they will be coming from. No bugs on this one as far as I am concerned.

Thirded.

To balance things out I can't do any of the racing ones at all but I know its just a pc keyboard/skill issue, not a bug issue.

Let me clarify. I have completed this with Gold more than once. I also have gold on the last gen version of the game. But the issue is, sometimes the enemies do not spawn, the npc health is low and if you watch. 1 raider can kill the npc in just a shot or two. This is by far the most difficult mini game in Defiance and has been since I started playing back in 2014. So please don’t assume that I “can’t” do it as my motivation for asking them to adjust it. It’s not. Furthermore, the hit box for the enemy is small and spite having shot an enemy in the face sometime the game doesn’t register it as a critical hit. Sometimes the game doesn’t register it at all. So yes, it needs a change.
