Zorndar Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 (edited) I just want to have some feedback on how the mechanics for this exactly work because I start to think there is more to it. 5 headshots in one aim slide should be doable, I thought. Used Zephyr and a Soma Prime with increased firerate and larger magazine, not reallly needed but whatever. However something just doesn't seem right here, in one mission I also got the affinity quest to get 10 headshots. While doing the aimglide and emptying around 30-40 bullets into someones head it registered 6 for the affinity quest, but only 3 for the Riven mod !? Is there something I'm missing, like does it have to be subsequent hits or kill shots? Because trying for at least 20 missions all kind of different approaches, high level enemies, low level enemies, crazy high fire rate, low damage on the weapon, maximum damage on it,... I start to question if this is bugged or not or the description is wrong. If I put 30 bullets into someones head less than a meter away while aim gliding and the Riven mod either doesn't count any headshots (argon scope does though) at all or only shows a maximum of 3 there must be something wrong. If its true and it is headshot kills + subsequent hits, the description is completely missleading, nevermind the fact that its close to impossible to fullfill in a single aimglide with a RIFLE. This is realy annoying and stopped me pretty much from enjoying the game, I tried it now for 5 days, get no results what so ever and just leave the game again after 3-5 missions utterly frustrated. Whats the point in getting more Riven mods if I can't even unlock my first one! Edited November 25, 2016 by Zorndar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_Vortus_ Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 Here is my Super Cheese method for that one. Vulkar Wraith, Zephyr, Zenurik and a low level corpus ice map exterminate with unlimited air space. Run around and aggro a good sized group of them into a small area. Pulling as many as you can into the same small area. I mean melee range. Will take some time but you can do it. Once you get them grouped up, pop your Zenurik and they will suspend. Move a bit away, go vertical. As you fall, pop pop pop pop pop. Plenty of time if herded them close enough. Make sure you herd more than you need and pack them as tight as possible.

_Vortus_ Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 Like to add with Zephyrs air shield on, whatever its called, just run around them, dont shoot or bullet jump when herding the squishy corpus. They cannot damage you except with melee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zorndar Posted November 25, 2016 Author Share Posted November 25, 2016 So it is headshot kills but not subsequent hits? Because judging from the riven mods description I should have completed it alrady long ago. It doesn't mention headshot kills at all. Why do you use the Vulkar Wraith, any other option because I don't own one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashrah Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 take ivara with max range setup u wire and very good spot use sound arrow to group up enemies then glide job done.. i would go in void in big hall room...there u have lot space and hight to do that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zorndar Posted November 25, 2016 Author Share Posted November 25, 2016 Good idea ashrah, I'm still confused why its headshot kills though, isn't mentioned at all in the description. I give a try tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xion Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 That Riven challenge was actually changed. Before, your plan would work, empty out a 0 damage Soma into someone's head and you'll get that challenge unlocked. When the riven mods got changed, so did that mod to require headshot kills instead of just headshots. Apparently though, the wording didn't change to mention kills.

Suncake Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 Remember those air streams in coprus gas city tilesets?.. Yeah, you got it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master-Nachash Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 Took me a while to figure this one out, but it turns out it's pretty easy. Sortie 3. Equip Excalibur. Equip any automatic primary. Blind a group of enemies. Bullet jump + unload clip onto any enemy while aiming at it's head while blinded. You can get multiple headshots on one enemy in high levels, so yeah, rinse and repeat 'till you complete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zorndar Posted November 25, 2016 Author Share Posted November 25, 2016 So is it 5 headshot kills or 5 headshots, + one dead enemy at the end because thats a big difference in my approach! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xion Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 5 head shot kills Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zorndar Posted November 25, 2016 Author Share Posted November 25, 2016 (edited) Thats exactly the point of my frustration. As they "patched" it without changing the wording I'm pretty much left guessing what exactly I have to do. Right now I believe its headshotkills too, would explain why my other appraoches didn't work. AND as everyone else seems to have finished this before the stupid patch (WHY was that even needed?) there are a lot of conflicting opinions how to solve it.

Zorndar Posted November 25, 2016 Author Share Posted November 25, 2016 (edited) I wonder what exactly they fixed, to me it seems they made it far less comprehensive. I mean what I have to do and what the riven mod says are two completely different things. Edited November 25, 2016 by Zorndar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High level enemies, preferably in Sortie 3 or something, will work just as well because you won't have to find a new group of enemies after one glide because you can still do multiple headshots without enemies dying.

I don't think you understood me, enemies have to die from a headshot for the challenge Edited November 25, 2016 by Xionyde134 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zorndar Posted November 25, 2016 Author Share Posted November 25, 2016 I think low level enemies with a highly modded Soma might be the way to go, probably try out the Ivara strategy Ashrah proposed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doxorn Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 Quote 5 headshots in a single aim glide with rifle Guy you all forget that he has to do it while aim gliding. I had this challange too but with 3 headshots and a dragon key (don't remember which tho). I did it on Mercury with Zephyr + Patagium and I had a highly modded Soma so 1 shot one kill. It took like 10min to get 3 headshots while airborne. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zanoza-chan Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 My suggestion is: - any frame (but take Zephyr if can), any automatic wep (Soma, Braton) - Grineer survival with Grineer Galeon tileset (Draco, Ceres, for example) - look for a tube (there's always atleast one tube as a connector between rooms) - make Grineers run to you through that tube, stand near its edge - do a short jump + aim, shoot them in a row - challenge done, you're awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CowDung Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 Why no one seems to think of quanta… its the best at lining shots to the head and you dont need kills. I did it once for a friend when he needed help. Also if you bring a friend along, there will be more enemy spawns which helps alot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atalix Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 I had that challenge before except I had to deal with Four head shots. But I was given a suggestions and hope this works for you as well. A Loki radial disarm build, pop a decoy and let the enemies gather at the decoy. Add in a drift mod or any that increases Aim glide duration, then spray and pray for five head shots. Best to do in the easy void exterminate. For me it worked very well, just to get the targets to move than stand still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
