Unlock Sniper Rifle

[tommym5000]

For the life of me, i cannot figure out how to unlock the sniper rifle. Any advice?

You have to get the Bird of Prey achievement, reach combo level 400 while playing with Aquila constellation. All of the unlocks are shown in the achievements screen accessible from the main menu.

Yes, thank you. However, what's the trick to unlocking Aquila? I can never get close to activating three runes at the same time.

They lose charge VERY slowly when not fully activated. Instead of completely charging each one, mostly charge the first two, fully charge the third, then go back to finish charging the rest.

Yeah, getting them all revved up before finishing them off is key. There are also zipline hooks that make it a lot faster to traverse the map between the runes.

I lose my combo when I use the ziplines.
