Rivens and Dargyns

[FailedSave]

I have 2 Rivens that say to kill Dargyn pilots before they hit the ground while sliding.
First... really? Seriously? I mean who comes up with these things? Do I have to stand on my head and only use one hand while doing it too? sheesh.


Second... any tips on exactly *how* to do this? I mean, is it just a numbers thing -- shoot a lot and hope you get one? Or is there a mod that will help? Is there a better or worse frame to use? Maybe someone like Ember who can "World of Fire" them before they hit the ground? Is there a better weapon to use?
They are shotgon mods, so I assume I have to have a shotgun equipt. But I can use a pistol to actually shoot.
I have Dex Furis, which seems ok, I suppose.

It's near impossible to aim on a flying target whilst sliding. Just saying.
Anyway, just looking for suggestions.

Are you sure it’s slide? Or is it drift? Write down the full challenge please on both of them

I actually got one. I had to kill like 10 before I managed to hit one of the pilots before he fell. yay?

Thanks, but ... I don't have some of those weapons, so I pretty much have to blow up the Dargyns, then try to hit the pilots while they fall. While I'm sliding.

I have learned a couple things, though.
I use Rhino, since with Iron Skin, I don't have to worry about enemies killing me while I'm shooting.
I've also figured out that it's better to start on the top of a hill and slide down, since it gives more slide time.
I also use Dex Furis, since those are automatic dual pistols, so I get lots of shots.

Unfortunately, I'm also shooting around rocks, trees, other enemies... and it seems random which way the pilot comes out.

did this challenge some days ago, tigris made it quite easy (i imagine any shotgun with decend firerate should make this easy enough since something is bound to hit and kill the target due to target being lowlvl)

You can also cheese this challenge with Nidus. Using his larva (the thingy that shoots out tentacles to grab enemies) you can snag pilots (even those that are on the ground), and kill them while they are held. As they are technically in the air and not on the ground, it counts for this challenge.

Otherwise, Nova and Limbo's stasis will cause pilots to stay in the air as they fall giving you a longer period of time to shoot.

Or, just take a soma, wait till they fly over, kill the ship, then shoot the pilot as they fall.

thanks.
Soma is a rifle, though, so I wouldn't be able to equip a shotgun mod.
I may try Nidus or Limbo.
Of course, it's near impossible to tell where the pilots will land, but maybe I will get lucky and they will be in range.

It might also help to consider that you don't need to actually use the shotgun that has the riven equipped. You can use any weapon or ability, so consider picking a secondary that you're more comfortable with shooting at long range than the shotguns you can currently use at your MR.
