Bolinas Sniper Hot Shot bugged?

[illyankesh]

Attempting to complete Marin pursuits, and one of the required is to earn a silver medal in the Bolinas Sniper
hot shot challenge. Yesteday I attempted several times, and each of the Mad Mattocks there required nearly a
full magazine with headshots? Despite careful aiming, and several attempts my score was laughable. I watched
some Youtube videos to see if I was missing something, and in those videos the enemies were doing down in 1, or 2 shots, and there was much more to the hotshot challenge than just a couple of mattocks a few smelters.
At the rate of ammo consumption required I am not sure how this is even possible. I attempted again this morning, just now after completing the Bolinas oil refinery shutdown, and there was no difference.

I as well have the same problem, not sure what is going on with this really. I also tried doing Rampage: Minigun Mayhem but it is pretty much impossible because I keep getting killed by the 99ers and I take way too long to kill them.

I actually managed to beat the hotshot challenge by what I'm pretty sure is a glitch -- I just kept repeating it and one time it just skyrocketed my score (high enough to be the #1 high score on the Europe server) for no apparent reason.

Really wish this would get fixed as I can't finish the pursuits that need these challenges.

Edit: here is video evidence of another person having trouble with this challenge


Also, if you go to this post it seems other people are having the same problems as well. This is all speculation but I'd say it's related to this problem and I guess the only thing to do is wait a few days for a fix :/

Glad to know that I am not the only one experiencing this issue, I thought I was crazy, and my clanmates thought I couldn't shoot worth a damn. Help us Obi-Wan. No way to file a ticket except on this site.

A few days ago I was getting a score of 12,000 to 15,000. Starting yesterday it was in the 2,000. I used to be able to kill a mob in 1 shot. Now I am doing four 9,000-11,000 head shots in a row to kill a mob. I am EGO 3278 and it's like the mobs are 5000+. Yesterday I thought it was because some 5000's were near me but I went back today with nobody near me and it was exactly the same.

Same problem for sharp shooting savior and preemptive counterstrike. Takes too many bullets to take them down. Also watched you tube on these. Most was one shoot kill.
