Hotshot: Moonshine Shack

Got silver. Figured out a bit from playing a few times though. The concept behind it is picking up the ammo the enemies drop. I would recommend scavenger perk and then damage reduction and extra health perks (ie: fortitude, rear guard, detachment, execution might help too). The idea i ran with was to get my multiplier as high as possible as fast as possible and then take cover popping out to keep the multiplier up longer. Don't stay out in the open for too long or your toast. I could've taken that stupid hulk down but I got cornered with shields on one side and him on the other and my camera decided it wanted to be on their team and flipped out to look at the hulker. Needless to say I took about 4 rounds in the back from those shield guys and it ended it. Screw gold, I got my pursuit done.

So I took your advice with scavenger and fully upgraded it and got gold on my first try. Just wanted to thank you. This Hotshot was such a pain and have given up until I saw your post. With scavenger fully upgraded you won't run out of ammo and died eventually with 72 rounds of ammo collected.

I just ran this trial and I have to admit in general I'm not a fan of most of these mini-games, I don't know what it is about them that I don't much like. Perhaps it's that they just blow my immersion. Sure I suppose the obvious answer is simply to not do them, but I want those pursuits so I swallow the bitter pills down knowing once I get silver I will NEVER bother with them again.

I've hated some of these trials quite a bit but I never bothered to post about that dislike until now. This one mini game holds such a special place in my bowels that I felt obligated to post just how much I loathe it.

I don't actually believe the Devs will read this thread or even my specific post so I hold no illusions that they will be changed, improved, or done away with. But it makes me feel just a little bit better to cut loose about this trial here, so there you have it.

As always, take what I say with a grain of salt.

Yo this one is BANANAS! I guess i have a poor shield and the wrong perks, highest I've gotten is around 4.5k into bronze. I would think 5k would be enough for Silver. Main problem for me is when I hide to regenerate health/shield my modifier drops back down to 1x for some reason. I hope they fix this one but I guess that is a pipe dream.

EDIT: with scavenger rank3 perk on, just barely made it to Silver. Run around shooting, try and stay alive, at least you don't have to worry about ammo.

Moonshine is a tough one. Res Chickens is just straight Pow-shtako.

Moonshine -IS- Run & Gun in it's purest form.

This one is tough, but two tips :

1. Most important, equip a shield with a very low regen delay. This way you can cover and let your shield refill without losing your multiplier, which is essential.

2. As people have said, scavenger is almost necessary. Even at level 1 I finished it with a ton of ammo left over.

If you are having trouble with ammo on moonshine shack put on the scavenger perk, i just got silver on the and when it ended i had 40 plus rounds of ammo.

Thanks for the tips everyone going to try in a few. Have tried probably a hundred times with nothing more than a bronze at 5000 and thought I was going to go insane or it was ridiculously impossible. Would have went on a rant if there wasn't a post about this lol.

As the current 2nd placeman and Hulker Farmer using Moonshiner, I'll give you 3 perks to make it easyer on you.

Assassin Cache: This nets you 9 bullets per crit kil.
Execution: Regen's 10% shield perk crit kill.
Thick Skin: If your shield drops, this gives you 3 seconds of 50% Damage Reduction((Which stacks with other boosts as well))

Those 3, will give you more breathing room as you go threw it, for those having issues with the reload time on the Pump given to you, I recommend a point or 3 in Single Mindled, it'll help, trust me. Note: Like all Hotshots and Rampages getting shot kills 1 of your multiplyer, so aim for Blitzers, then Blasters, leave the Rioteers for last, and when the Hulker comes, he can stagger the Rioteers for you. after you shoot 2 blitzers, plug the Hulker twice, then kill the Blaster, plug the Hulker again, then find the Blitzers, ONLY kill rioteers when THEY come to you ALONE, 2 quick shots WILL take them down.

Just use these perks and its super easy, I beat it in 5 tries

Thick Skinned - Half Damage on shield break
Cellular Armor - Take less damage
Fortitude - More Health
Regeneration - Bonus health regenerated
Execution - Crit kills restore shields
Nerves of Steel - More crit if running toward you
Survival Instinct - Reload faster if shields are down


Also you should use the buildings to get out of Line of Sight to help survive.
IF you see a rocket, go for him first.
They don't attack until they are done pathing, so let them collect and gun them down as a group.
Always run over bodies to recover ammo

Perk: Scavenger - will give you more ammo looting if you need
