Submachine Gun (SMG) Challenges
- Challenge 3: You will face a combination of static and moving targets of varying heights that disappear automatically. You have thirty-three seconds to score as many points as possible. To achieve Gold, use the SMG. It may take a few tries to get the hang of where each target appears so you can position yourself for maximum points and know when to stop shooting to maintain your multiplier.
- Bronze: 3,000
- Silver: 5,000
- Gold: 10,000
Assault Rifle Challenges
Hitting targets increases your score multiplier up to three times. You get one free miss with automatic weapons.
- Challenge 1: You will be presented with static targets that disappear after you hit them three times. There are seventeen targets total, and you need to score as many points as possible in thirty-six seconds. Use the Carbine Rifle for this challenge. The key is to use single shots instead of holding the trigger. Aim at the center of a target, zoom in, fire three quick single shots to make it disappear, then aim at the next target. This is relatively easy to pass and even get Gold in.
- Bronze: 2,500
- Silver: 3,550
- Gold: 7,550
- Challenge 2: You have four targets lined up one behind the other that move and turn around. You have fifty-seven seconds to score as many points as possible. Any of the Rifles will work for this. The keys are knowing when to stop shooting and moving along with the targets. If you are good at moving with your targets, this should be easy to pass and get Gold in.
- Bronze: 4,750
- Silver: 7,500
- Gold: 17,500
- Challenge 3: There will be moving targets of varying height and speed that disappear after being hit three times. There are ten targets total, and you have thirty seconds to shoot them all. The best weapon for this is the Carbine Rifle due to its slower fire rate, which you can control more easily. Fire three quick shots at a target to make it disappear so you can bring out the next one. It will take a few tries to get Gold as you learn the target patterns.
- Bronze: 1,000
- Silver: 3,000
- Gold: 5,000
Shotgun Challenges
The scores are based on hitting as many targets at one time as possible. The more targets you hit at once, the more you score.
- Challenge 1: The targets will appear in a static 4x4 pattern. There will be thirty-two targets total, and you need to destroy as many as you can in thirty seconds.
- Bronze: 22
- Silver: 32
- Gold: 46
