Fish in a barrel challenge help

Any tips for this challenge?
I need to finish a run with over 70% accuracy with the shotgun but I have no idea how to do it, can't I miss ANY shot with the shotgun? If it shots 4 bullets do all bullets have to hit the enemy?

I tried to do a run with as little spread as possible to the end and still failed, no idea how to conduct this one.

Strong drone, shoot a hive and a few enemies point blank at the start, and then never shoot your gun again (Try being a tank, or using your special ability, such as the laser one, flamethrower, etc).

I got this by giving my drone a fast firing weapon that froze early on. Then I spent a lot of the game shooting stuff basically at point blank range. If you turn off autofire before the run starts you can get that achievement too. Piling up the enemy spawn rate helps too.

Tried doing it with drone + underbarrel and it failed even after finishing the run, shot only once in the run with the shotgun and hit everything.
Stupid challenge.

Finally managed to beat it, had to create a early perfomance weapon to put on the bot so it could carry me, I also avoided using underbarrel shots since I think those count as accuracy.

I did manage to finish the shotgun 75% accuracy challenge to unlock the gene (spread, what a bummer, I thought it would be extra damage) but somehow it didnt count for the 80% accuracy challenge to unlock one of the guns.
I have no idea how the game calculates these challenges.

i did it with shotgun+homing bullets+bullet speed (range)+high attacked and as many bullets as possible. just spam as many as possible since all the pellets will hit and count as % accuracy. just be careful at the start until ya get homing, as soon as you hit every enemy on the screen, spam as much as possible since you wont miss its basically 100% accuracy. worked for me.
