Sharpshooting Savior

[Justrip]

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.

Could be why some might have a problem. You don't need a crit to kill the raiders. A hit anywhere and they die. I just go for center of mass and they go down.

I play on PC but use a controller. However, I also switch to a mouse for this.

Just play as demo class. If you miss the raiders when they are moving throw out a hatchling grenade when they are close to NPCs.

I have never had any issues/bugs with this hotshot... I have only heard people in my clan complain because they do not like sniper hotshots.... The raiders should not get anywhere near the npc's and should be sniped before they get anywhere near them. I do think it could be your way of doing the hotshot, or your connection is not a very good one....



This hotshot does not need fixing... and needs to be left alone... imo. Get used to the sniping sight and clear the raiders.... Get to know where the raiders come from and kill them before they get past the trucks even.


By the way, it is one of the easiest contracts... along with the other hotshots... they are easy to do..... and very quick also.

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.

Not fourthed; I'm with Ryu Soba, I find this to be the hardest of the hot shots (most likely because I suck at sniping)

I’ll repeat myself once again for those who have problems reading. I have GOLD already in this hotshot. I’ve been playing the original game daily since 2014 and the new one since closed beta. I am very aware of how to to use a sniper and complete this task. I never said it was a BUG. I simply posted it under bug reports by MISTAKE.

Killing the raiders BEFORE they reach the guys only completes the activity without enough score. Letting them get too close only kills the guys because THEY HAVE NO HEALTH. It’s also easier on PC because point and click. Additionally, the hit box is not accurate. Perhaps this is an issue with the accuracy bug that is floating around.

But, how about some of you take the time to go back and read the years of post about this very same QoL change that has been asked for since before I started playing. This particular hotshot is tedious and unnecessary and just because point and click don’t have issues doesn’t mean the console players don’t have issues. Furthermore, before some of these console players claim that its “easy”, most of you found a clever way to complete this task through mechanic manipulation. Don’t think for 1 second that it has gone unnoticed. The reason I haven’t resulted to such tactics is because I believe playing a game how it was intended.

Using the sniper does suck. So that's why you work smarter, not harder, and put together a few mechanical manipulations, as you say, for easy completion. It's a daily today and I'm sitting on a score of about 33,000 on Xbox. That's the way it should be if they're not fixing it properly.

The thing is, there's a million more pressing issues in either version of the game, and fixing something like this is not only low on their priority, it's better if they never give it time of day so they can focus on more serious issues. Of which there are a lot. And maybe, MAYBE they eventually get to low priority ones like this. Of which there are ALSO a lot.

Shouldn't deliberately make things harder on yourself for purist's sake. This ain't the kind of game worth that flavor of dedication.

all in game friendly npcs need a buff. damage and health .

[DAVIDMCHICAGO]

This is doable! It took me many trys to get gold! But once you get the pattern down, it becomes alot more easy. There is also 2 different work arounds for this that make it really simple . But I dont want to spoil the challenge. This hot shot by far is the hardest. The guys your protecting could use some more health. If your not paying attention they can get killed off pretty quick.

I don't wanna burst your bubble but everyone on this board knows the 2 workaround. OP would like this challenge to be easier because he wants to beat it without them.
