Long range kills?

[FreddieForever#1]

How do you do long range kills? im using the sniper from really far away and it still doesnt work, it says you have to be 150m from the target but how do you know that cause it doesnt show how far away you are.

Just have to guess and try longer ranges until you find what works. I have 2 that counted.

Alright, thanks!

Helicopter/plane kills count. Kill enemies as far away as you can. The first one of these kills I got was with a mounted gun found on the side of the road.

Pistol melee is basically a chained takedown, where you use the NPCs sidearm to shoot other NPCs inline with them. Just a different QTE button. The weapon you have equipped makes no difference.

I think you mean pistol takedown? You do a normal takedown on an enemy but there needs to be another enemy or two close by on your screen as well. You will get a screen prompt to shoot the other targets with the pistol. BTW, it doesn't use the enemies gun, it uses yours. A silenced 1911 makes these takedowns a breeze.

Ahh, just now about to clear my first siblings area. I like some aspects of all of them over the others. I can say this on feels the most streamlined and graphically apealing in a simplistic aesthetic way. And just ran smoother out of the box for me.

Oh... I have yet to use it in this game. But i thought it used their gun, as i didnt need a firearm at all to prefrom it FC4.

From what i have read, you do use the NPCs sidearm (if they have one) That is why is seems people are confused as to why they are not prompted lots of the time.

I dont know what to believe until i utilize it myself in this game.

You use your own, kinda easy to see unless every NPC has a silenced/scoped/extra mag pistol with the same skin as mine, enemies just need close by to get the prompt.

As i said, i havent performed that action in this game yet. If you say you have to be carring a sidearm to do so in this game, I'll just have to take your word. Was just going by last game to explain the mechanics.

Yes, in FC4 it was different. Don't need to take our word for it. It's simple enough to try for yourself.

Edit: Googled far cry 5 pistol takedown and got...

He demonstrates it correctly but hes wrong about it using the enemies gun. Proof is he did a pistol takedown on Angels, that don't carry pistols. I know for a fact none of the enemies carry a silenced 1911 with a red dot, yet that is what is being used to shoot with in my game. My pistol.

Yeah, thats what I am saying. I have seen many different "words" elsewhere, though i am more likely to believe those stated here. Thanks. Actually the chain takedowns were the last perks I added before i left the game last.

Lol that was actually on of the example i came across.

Regarding long range kills:
I guess it's best to mark an outpost which isn't liberated yet. If you have the World Icons activated in the "Interface" Options, you'll see how far away you are.
Then it's just approaching the outpost until you are around the 150m mark and shoot the enemies.
Just be aware that the icon itself is probably in the center of the outpost, so if any enemy is closer to you, it might just be 148m and not count.

I simply found an overlook a fair distance away. (More or less 175 metres) And just let the 50 cal rifle do the talking. If your an absolute ace the bow works as well.
