Hotshot: Sharpshooting savior

[Xaearth]

Just got Gold. You only have 100 ammo before you run out. Every single shot needs to be a 1 shot kill. The trick is waiting for enemies to run up close to your miners, they'll stop, wave their gun in the air leaving you an easy headshot. Shoot the regular guys anywhere. But you absolutely have to make sure you headshot Rocket Troops, Elites, and Shieldbearers. Keeping hold of your multiplier near the start is probably the hardest part as you have to shoot a few running targets but you can't miss these shots either. If you do miss just restart.

I had a score of 22,400 and I missed about two headshots.

I've gotten gold multiple times myself, and I'm 90% sure it isn't ammo that causes it to end prematurely... It's almost like there's a hidden time limit, or after a certain wave spawns it just ends, because I'll glance at my ammo between waves and have over 20 ammo, and it ends before the time I would get sub 10.

You also don't have to restart on a miss... It's just important keeping your multiplier up.
It also helps to prioritize targets - aim for the fodder first, then the elite fodder, then the rockets, then the rioters, all the while keeping them from getting a shot off on the miners for best results.

You can also modify your perks a bit to help you... Specifically the +30% damage while cloaked along with the + damage while above target will make it so that you can body shot the elite fodder as long as you've been scoped in (the advanced rifle you have in this hotshot cloaks you) and haven't fired for ~2 seconds.

I spent a good amount of time running this hotshot yesterday trying to find a sniper rifle synergy mod other than the faction synergies and the brutal/run-and-gun everyone seems to get from synergy caches.

No luck unfortunately, only got a few Scavenger synergy blues.
Would've loved a Survivalist synergy mod for a smexy meteor sniper... hoping Survivalist's bonus means bonus damage against >targets< with full health and shields (yummier headshots).

Same here!

I'm really struggling with this doozy, all miners alive and ammo in the mag, but as soon as it hits bronze the challenge finishes!

As stated above the gun itself cloaks you, and the perk for 30% damage while cloaked makes all mobs a one shot instead of two (or melon) on the Elites. Makes it soooo much easier to get gold.

i used raines perk idea and it got me silver!! i kept the miners safe the whole time they barely touched them and it still ended just after getting silver its bugged as all hell but it can be done you just cant make any mistakes. good luck!!

Hmm didnt know you could actually get synergies from these hotspots?

[Zekumas]

OK this Hotshot is stupid, 12k just for a bronze? Really the highest I get is 9k, this challenge needs to have its point req lowered.

Is this timed? It ends too soon, and I have ammo left and all of the people are alive still...but it just ends...what causes it to end? None of the other events end unless the escorts die or you run out of ammo
