Just got the killshot on a Hellion...

[oops519]

I haven't done too many arkfalls to be honest, but today I tried to use overload to kill a boss for the Going Commando pursuit. I didn't get it the first try but the next major arkfall I went to, I managed to land the killshot. Popped overload and spammed my Tacmage Pulser. It worked like a charm.

Is there a reason why you wanna get killshot during arkfalls? I've noticed the score board counts kill shots, and damage, but it seems to be ordered after damage anyway. I've found it quite hilarious that I can get into top 5 for damage done, yet my killshots are less than half of the rest of the top 5.

I don't remember the reward exactly, but the killshots let you complete a pursuit that gives you (I think) +15 EGO, a title, and a new outfit.

Weird... i've heard it was cluster grenades that cause the reset.
I used to use them all the time and came up as 0 damage, then I swapped to a normal frag and haven't had the issue since.

I use frag grenades and I've never been reset

It's +40 EGO
Also, you will likely have the killshot before achieving the others goals of the pursuit (25 major arkfall, 2500kill that keep reseting, 100 revive in arkfall).
My kills reseted at 1K~. I stopped doing arkfall this day.

Dont use ar or smg. Best way is something that hits extremely hard. I used a mass cannon. You help kill all the way but save a few shot for the kill shot. When it has a sliver of health left you use the mass cannon and if aimed right mass cannon will hit for 600 on primary explosion is aimed directly above the head. The secondary explosions will each hit for 1200-1500+

If you time it right youll knock out the hellion.

For the one that doesn't come out of the tube. Use a semi auto sniper. Again time and dump a clip into it again as it has a sliver of life. While everyone else is hitting for a few hundred your hitting for 1200+ you have a better chance at knocking out the past of its life.

Never tested, but stick some grenades on it with a detonator, wait until the last moment, and overcharge + boom. I think it should work.

Actually Erei and Atticus Finch, you're both right. There's one pursuit for +15 EGO and one for +40

Does the skitterlings count towards killshot? Would probably explain why some keep killing them.

After the latest update, my kill counter reset as well... just for the Arkfalls though, which doubly pissed me off. Over 1k kills down the drain.

There is a strategy? I thought it was more of, pinata affair where everyone is blindly swinging sticks. I actually landed it once using a semi-auto sniper rifle from a distance.

ive had multiple killshot on hellion and 1 on progenitor, used a sniper for the progenitor with overcharge and all the +crit possible then got kills on hellions using overcharge and an ar then a lmg its not hard to do just make sure you got a full clip and start unloading when its close then when its just a sliver hit overcharge and keep shooting
