any tips on how to get "Gone Bowling" done easy?
I keep trying and trying on Heresy and up to try and do this penance but i just cant get past 40 enemies knocked over I try doing the missions that spawn a large horde at the end of the game (foundry as an example) and still can't get past 40, best i have so far is 45 and i'm stuck.

And map and tips anyone can give me to get that penance done fast? I'm trying to 100% the game and working on Ogryn rn.

Auric damnation is your best bet to get a horde of a decent size to complete that thing becauser at some point in the past FS reduces the amount of enemies in hordes to help console kids not to fry their xboxes.

The carnival mission where you place the charges at the start, in an inactive region (South Africa worked for me).
Blow the first charge and just wait for the horde to come. Took 3 tries in the same mission to get it done for me, but it worked.

I did it with a high modifier Heresy. Anything around there and up will provide the numbers but it may take a few attempts.

Archium Sycorax, I think, and having a cdr with melee kills build. (If you want to do the 'Don't stop me now' penance then pick up the crd stimms, use twice) and do on heresy and up.

Speaking as the owner of my new fancy pants plus helmet, all in one game. Best of luck.

I got it in Archive Sycorax near the lift long passage with my mates down, so the mobs were left untouched.
After a bunch of runs )
Some say it is possible to be done with a Concentration stim to activate at once.
Remember that some dudes will not help you intentionally if you ask them for help.

Or you can have an ogryn friend with a slabshield to assist and gather a bunch).

Yeah, that is why I cannot complete Frenzeed Killer (120 kills per 30 sec) and 40 stunned kills.

Very reliable method: Right before the extraction from the power matrix mission pox walkers drop from some sort of scaffold. these arte enough to do bowling, shocking stuff etc. Just push them into a pile and tell your team to stop shooting for a second

Asking this community that seems like a surefire way to ensure they deliberately nuke them all immediately.

True, but I have not given up on this community yet. Some people especially on highjer difficulties will actually help you. Although once had a mate trying to sabotage me when I did the 40 enemies with one scriers gaze and a flamethrower, but his weapons were too ♥♥♥♥ to actually do anything, Made me chuckle.

Funny that this achievement is actually rare. I dont understand why. It's even easier now. Skill issue :>

Do you solely exist just to be toxic?

Got my gone bowling on the smelter metalfab level where at the end, enemies don't stop respawning on damnation. Can camp at the elevator where you are supposed to evacuate btw. Ask your team in advance if you could do the said penance.

I helped someone get it in Quick Play on the HL-17-36 Cryonic Rod mission.
At the end a swarm of dudes appears from the right as you're heading to extract.

If no one kills them or shoots them wildly (honestly this is the hardest part) you can push them for a bit, walk towards the extract and charge down the catwalk and easily get it.

The problem is... getting people to not kill them. Even people who saw you ask for the Penance will probably forget and start unloading at them out of habit (I almost did this myself) and it's not an endless spawn so they could kill enough that you can't do it.

Other options are any mission with an endless spawn on evac where you can hold a horde long enough to charge, especially if you don't care about living. Most teams will be good with it, but people missing messages/forgetting is always a potential issue.

I know the truth hurts buddy. Dont take everything so serious, ok?

My tips (even if you are tilted by now and wont take it):
Enklavum Baross - bridge or finale at the station
HL-17-36 (cargo station) - finale
Relais station - on top at the finale

See this is all you had to say instead of being weird.

I wish I could help but it looks like there is already plenty good advice here. Good luck.

Luck is how I did it. :bolter:
