1212 When Lightning Strikes 1: The 30-metre range requirement is easy to verify. Place a map marker on an enemy camp from a distance and check the minimap for the distance reading. Pick off enemies from a hill or rooftop.When Lightning Strikes 3: Five kills without a miss. Take your time with each shot. Aim for center mass on stationary or slow-moving targets to avoid misses on headshot attempts. Unarmored bandits are the safest choice.When Lightning Strikes 4: Charged shots deal area damage on impact. Group three enemies close together and release a fully charged shot into their center. Bandit camps with enemies gathered around a fire are ideal.
