Bow challenge that require to kill with no focus
So i got a new shiny longbow, an there is a challenge that sounds like this:
"Use a Ranged Weapon to Kill an Enemy while You Have No Focus"

I've tried to use all my focus, charged the bow an then killed an orc, and it didn't counts as a kill.

Does anyone know the trick with this kind o challenge, does anyone solve it?
Please help!

I ran across and completed this one. I stayed with the bow drawn until the focus ran out and everything moved at normal speed again. I then killed while everything was normal speed again using head shots to make it quick.

Did it the same way, no luck, that's why i wrote here.

Can you add more details about how you did it?

Isn't much more to it really, but I'll step by step it.

- Choose a tower where you have plenty of targets you can still reach but not have to move much.

- Make sure you have a full quiver.

- Draw bow and stay on your first target.

- Let the focus run out until everything is moving at normal speed again, not releasing draw of the bow after focus is gone.

- With bow still drawn, kill your first target (preferrably headshot to make it quick)

- Quickly redraw bow and ensure the focus is gone still, pause a few seconds before the next kill if you need to.

- Find another target to headshot.

- Kill target and repeat until the challenge pops up as done.

Tried, didn't work, i'm doing something wrong, for sure.
I've send you a friend request, hope you'll accept it.

Hey, have you invested any points in the Ranged Prestige skill? If so, that's probably why you can't complete the challenge. Everytime you kill an enemy, you gain focus.

I have the same problem. Please fix this, Monolith!

I believe you need to turn the focus off. L3 on xbox controller.

It seems that that specific bow was buggy :D
I just dissmantle it and forget about it. You'll get better drops for the orcs anyway :)

Literally just had this problem and this fixed it. I had 1 piece of gear that gave me focus on each ranged kill. Cheers o7

Just to add Focus-on-Kill on equipment will prevent this from working, too. Bad programming there. Objectives like this should be tested *before* equipment perks are calculated.

Reading and knowing your equip kinda helps alot, after all they are "your" boni but good news, aye, there are plenty of good drops there just waiting to be found ;-)
