Little tip for longshots, the XTEN Angel-40 sight is basically an acog that has a range finder on it, so you can allways know when you are going to get a longshot.

[@siribari7487]

Thanks!!!!

[@MrHawksrule95]

Even better, for the ars, brs, Mrs, and srs, there is a 4.8x version of this scope. It doesn't work on LMGs or SMGs but for everything else especially the ARs it helps a tons

[@JCPokerface295]

Maybe just for finding a good spot in your first game on the same map , after that you’re better off using a better sight you like.

[@PhoSho]

Finished long shots with ease. Tip for anyone doing it: Hardcore hardpoint is most consistent. Build all SMGs with recoil/range dmg attachments, including a long range scope (I used forge tac delta) Use deploy cover to mount. You can use this format for all categories. Also found it easier switching to single fire for all auto weapons for this challenge. Good luck!

[@laOrzy]

Single fire for the smgs too?

[@michaelwelch7643]

More helpful then the vid 😂

[@savonlofton]

@@laOrzy yes, single fire for them too. The recoil on smgs with longer range sights is brutal because the sight jumps around too much. Single fire is better as you can still tap as fast as you feel you can accurately

[@AustinDlr2005]

I didn’t think it would hard getting long shots comparing them to mw2019 long shots so I went ahead and got all of my guns gold. That was until I got was on my 2nd AR when I realized I really f’d up doing all of my long shots back to back to back.

[@onlineaddiction7712]

Anyone going for long shots with the fennec use the burst mag, makes the long shots 10x easier

[@dimitarse1]

On Shoot House lie down between containers and the Shenti House wall, it will count as long shots for most weapons and it definitely makes it easier for short range weapons.

[@willdriver6523]

That's why I've been grinding a platinum class along side my gold grind so I'm not left with all the longshots at the end of my gold grind

[@Sushi3729luver]

From what I’ve seen the more zoom on a sight actually shows the recoil worse. I’d recommend either use iron sights or a red dot. I wouldn’t use the 4.0 sight. You see the recoil way more

[@whisperware]

SMG longshots as a challenge really makes no sense, as that is the worst range to use them at. That being said, once they put tier 1 on, that helped a lot. Just play Tier 1 Hardpoint and hold long angles near the point. Bit scummy, but it's the fastest method I've uncovered independently, and definitely better than laying prone in spawn or straight up camping. It's still camping but you at least rotate angles.

I think the problem with your pdsw might be the same one I had for the vel. It counts the kills without dying but doesn’t visually track them. So if you did get 3 kills without dying 10 times you would get gold still

[@thomaslee8307]

I personally find mercado Las almas the easiest for longshots, it's a clear path and 2 easy mantle spots for easy control and a lot of people go there

[@purvy7240]

Longshots are easily the worst/ most annoying part of the camo grind. I hate having to camp to get them. I got Orion and then got gold on the dlc weapons but haven’t bothered getting longshots for any of them

[@Logan-mn9im]

you actually dont need to do gold on any dlc weapons. and if u already have orion u technically just have to do polyotomic challenge and thats it, it lets you bypass every other camo if u have the plat unlocked its wock asl.

[@MageOtter27]

On the fennec for long range you should use the 12 round mag. Used that in mw2019 and worked great!

[@Sam-uz6dz]

For anyone struggling with long shots, definitely try the tier 1 mode. The smaller health pool makes it much easier to kill at long ranges. I built my guns for range and put my guns on semi and was able to complete all my ARs and SMGs fairly easily. LMGs and Battle Rifles have the same longshot range as ARs, so same goes for them. Shotguns are fairly easy with slugs on ground war or invasion. I am dreading going for pistol longshots now.

[@theterrablade4223]

You only need 20m for a longshot on a pistol so it's reasonable to do them on shipment. The sightlines around the sides are about 30m.

[@Sam-uz6dz]

@@theterrablade4223 just finished my pistol longshots today in tier 1 it was fairly easy. I know you only have to be 20m for pistol longshots, but it was really satisfying getting some crispy one taps at long range.

[@dominickgolden6197]

Play tier one hard point and camp the outskirts of the objective at the range you need. With this method I got 3 weapon classes done within 2 days. (Of course by backing out of the maps that suck for this challenge)

[@TheFrost443]

For anyone trying to get longshots for the fennec use his build but use the 2tap rounds I forgot what their called,go into hardcore and pick ur maps,shoot house is a decent one if theres traffic,hydro,the racecar raceway is a good map and there's 2 more but I forgot their name,keep in mind if there's no traffic leave and find another,happy grinding u got this

Tier 1, filter to only domination and hard point. Embassy is the best map IMO. Tune said gun for range and damage. Managed to knock out my smgs in 1 day.

[@bigboy5345]

Bro when you said people were crazy for doing all gold guns first and I just finished all mine gold. I wish I thought about all the long shots before that.

[@TheBlackKS1]

Hardcore (Tier 1) was the best option for me doing most of my longshots, yeah the TTK is short, but that really helps when your damage starts to drop off after certain distances.

[@arrogant5150]

Turning my selector switch from auto to semi helped me with my longshots

[@BR1GHTESTDAY]

It's 12.5m for shotguns, 20m for pistols 38m for AR's, BR's, LMG's and marksman rifles 30m for smg's and 50m for snipers. Just unlock the tac angel 40 sight from levelling the taq v to level 11 or level the raal lmg to level 6 for a hybrid sight that has digital readout too to make it really easy

[@Cutsc3ne]
