Celsius or Fahrenheit?
Kill 10 enemies in a row, without missing, while switching between the regular sight and the 45 Degree Red Dot Sight after each kill on the OVERKILL difficulty or above.

Hello everyone. I have literally wasted 2 hours for this stupid achievement and yet I couldnt get it.
I tried different sniper rifles and always used the stupid 45 DRDS sight. I started killing cops with the normal side and switched to the DRDS for the next kill, rinse and repeat, but to no avail(Also tried it the other way around). I never let go of the zoom button. This is getting frustrating. I tried it on Meltdown.
Any advise?

  • Must aim down sights when shot fired (default hold right-click).
  • Must not miss.

Advanced rules:
  • Snipers will fail the streak due to piercing mechanics (spawns a second bullet which if kills someone, fails due to wrong sight and if miss, fails as well).
  • Switching to secondary cancels the streak. Only weapon that ignores this is the Little Friend GL, which can be switched/fired with no consequence.
  • Melee, throwables (all types) are ignored.

Easiest to taze/melee, shout at (surrender stage 1), then headshot. Rinse and repeat. Snipers used to work previously (when killing only 1 non-shield enemy with 1 bullet).

- you don't have to look through all the time, only while shooting
- make sure you toggle after every kill
- a kill healed by a medic resets the chain
- any bullet that misses resets the chain
- disable AI (otherwise you think you killed him, but the AI did)

Don't forget that any rounds that penetrate (ala Snipers) and deal splash kills (Graze) reset it.

I don't see how that's relevant.

It's easy to complete on Big Oil day 1.

In case someone tries to taze before shooting and kills the cop instead.

Why does everyone think you need to use a sniper to do this achievement?

Because snipers are easy 1 hit body kills, ARs need to go for the head.

Why would he be tazing, if he's trying to shoot the whole time? The last thing he knows he wants to do is use melee altogether, even if he was allowed to. By default, your instinct is to shoot.

Not everyone is proficient at FPS games. Overkill difficulty can be tough for some, same as trying to hit without missing, which might lead them to tazing, before shooting.

Besides, whatever I posted was a clarification of the achievements requirements, I didn't imply he was using melee. Did I imply he was using the Little Friend AR then?

Well, the tazer buzzer is a melee weapon, so in the whole scope of the achievement, it's all about shooting. He could have gone without bringing any melee weapons, so I didn't see the point about involving melee kills. I mean, you did mention "melee, throwables", which would imply the assumption of using melee being involved. Obviously in this game usually a thing like that resets your count. So, that was just rather irrelevant.

I didn't say anything about Little Friend. That has a grenade launcher, not technically a throwable or melee weapon. Even at that, the number of kills could be thrown off by that anyway. Kind of states the obvious.

My god...
This is a damn joke. I just did it on my first try with the little friend...
Its just ridiculous that the penetrating SR bullet counts as miss, once it killed its target and hit the wall.
Thank you very much for your tips.
