Question: How to achieve 'Reach 5 pierces as the Sharpshooter'?

[Kauerd]

I think it is almost impossible to beat this unlock condition.
As far as I know at the moment, the only way to get pierce is to buy Masterwork Arrowhead, but it's too rare to collect 5 in a single run.

I would appreciate if anyone let me know how to do this.

[Kauerd]

Thanks for reply. Did you actually unlock this?

[Kauerd]

I've been trying this but can't get more than 1 Masterwork Arrowhead.
I don't know if getting 5 is really possible.

Don't certain items have innate piercing? I know the Frost Wand has 2 Piercing, at least.

Not sure about others off the top of my head, but I'm sure they exist.

There's an axe that pierces everything on crit, right?

[Kauerd]

Sniper's crossbow can penetrate all the enemies along the way of its projectile.
But, first of all, does this mission mean hitting 5 enemies with single penetration shot?
I thought the character needs to get 5 piercing bonus stats with items or something else.
I'm not sure because I'm not native speaker of English.

the issue with the arrow head is it only applies to projectile weapons. I saw this brought up last night on the discord and the devs remark was "Just get 5 arrow heads" He thought the masterwork arrow was supposed to have piercing and was also confused on the only accessory to add piercing was the arrow head. I can only figure other accessories were supposed to add that or their was a programming mishap. I dont think it can be done currently unless you have obnoxious luck on arrowheads but I have not seen more than one at a time.

Same here.

Found a way to have 3 arrowheads. Need to put into temporary sockets.
I suppose inventory can only have one.
Is there any unique item can add piercing buff ?

I got it by accident while on an Eldritch knight with a mix of wands and other random weapons, no arrowheads at all. I was surprised, but there are definitely weapons out there that can do it, and arrowheads make it even easier.

High crit chance throwing axes is a good contender.
Sniper's crossbow of course as well.

You do not need 5 pierce, you just need to hit 5 enemies with a singe attack.

That's for a different thing which is kill 5 enemies with a single ranged attack.

Oops, my bad. *hangs head in shame* I should stop posting while half asleep. XD

My understanding is that this task requires character to have 5 pierce buff during a single run.
It's not about hitting or killing 5 enemies with a single shot.
Global Gameplay Stats is still 0%. I guess it's impossible at the moment.

[Masked Vermin]

Vake up there is right. There's some kind of limit on the arrowhead. As long as you have it in the reserve slots, it will continuously come up. Meaning you can only have three at one time.

think its tied combined with weapons..
If you look at hand crossbow, it has inate pierce, so find something that have more.
