Does "Destroy Enemy from 4000m" Challenge not work with Cruise Missiles?

[VersataMeridian]

Ive killed dozens of mobs with cruise missiles with over 4k distance (with the Marksman Catalyst installed to boot).
But Im not getting the challenge completion. Cruises dont work for this challenge?

I tried the same and couldn't get it to work.

Pick up a rail gun, toss marksman catalyst on it, and snipe a drone.

It does not work with Cruise Missile, but might be fixed at a later point. Marksman Rail Guns can happen as regular loot, so save one when you find it.

The challenge is also enemy specific. It's not just any enemy, but an Outlaw Sniper drone. Any other enemy will not trigger it.

There's 2 challenges with similar goals.

Advanced combat requires killing any enemy from at least 4000m.

Outlaw Hunt II is the one that requires killing an outlaw sniper drone from at least 3000m.

Oh, I likely didn't notice that at all due to using Rail Gun at a point. I only remember specifically hunting sniper drones :P

I just Aggro-ed an enemy at max range
Launched several mines at them
Boosted the other direction

Worked like a charm.

Same here, I end up using a Rail Gun.
About the cruise missiles, it says 4000m range, but I targeted an enemy base turret, went back exactly 4000 m, shot a missile and then followed it. The rocket despawn about 3800m, just in front of the target.

I fired a corrosive missile at an enemy(around 2000 range) then turned around and teleported beyond 4000 before it died to the effect. That worked as well.

Did you drift within 4k range before the enemy was destroyed?

The Rail Gun Solution with Marksman catalyst was the best one. I just wrapped that up with that ! No grand strategy needed. Kills any low level mob with 1 shot.

I also did try multiple times with Cruise Missiles without success. I fired from around 4000m and used Energized Boost after a quick u-turn (sending me way beyond the required range). In the end I had to complete it using a Rail Gun.

The Rail Gun Solution with Marksman catalyst worked for me also
