Combat & Skill Achievements

Master Outriders' combat and skill achievements! This guide breaks down how to earn accolades for your fighting prowess, from weapon mastery to elite takedowns. Get those cosmetic rewards!

Hey there, Outrider! Ready to dive into the nitty-gritty of racking up those achievements? This section is all about the Combat & Skill Accolades. Think of these as your personal challenges to prove you've mastered the art of survival and destruction on Enoch. Completing these not only gives you bragging rights but also unlocks some cool cosmetic items like Emotes and Banner Customization elements. Let's break down how to tackle them. There are a TON of combat accolades, with 91 available in total! They're mostly broken down by weapon types and combat styles. You'll see tiers for most of them, meaning you'll need to rack up a certain number of kills or actions to progress. Don't stress about doing them all at once; many will come naturally as you play. Here's a quick rundown of what you'll be working towards: * Weapon Mastery: You'll see accolades for using specific weapon types like Assault Rifles, Shotguns (both Automatic and Pump Action), Sniper Rifles, Light Machineguns, Pistols, Revolvers, and even Double Guns. For example, the 'Assault Rifle Master' accolade requires you to kill 50 enemies with an Assault Rifle for Tier I, and it goes all the way up to 500 kills for Tier V, which rewards you with an 'Assault Rifle' Banner Customization. * Combat Styles: Accolades like 'Aiming Master' and 'Blind Firing Master' track how you engage enemies – whether you're aiming down sights or firing from the hip. 'Cover Master' rewards you for taking down enemies while strategically using cover. * Skill-Based: There are accolades for using skills, like 'Altered Warlord' (kill 5 Elites using skills only) and 'Anomaly Wielder' (use a skill enhanced by four different mods). Keep an eye out for these as they encourage you to experiment with your build! * Damage & Kills: Accolades like 'Damage Master' track your total damage dealt, starting from 10,000 and going all the way up to 10,000,000 damage for Tier V. You'll also find accolades for quick kills like 'Go-getter' (kill 10 enemies with no more than 2 seconds between each kill) and 'Headhunter' (kill 5 enemies in a row with headshots). * Status Effects: 'Coup de Grâce Deliverer' challenges you to kill an enemy afflicted with at least 4 different status effects. This is a great one to work on when you've got a build that focuses on applying multiple debuffs. Pro-Tip: Don't feel like you need to force every single accolade. Many of these will naturally unlock as you play through the story, complete side missions, and tackle Hunts. Focus on enjoying the combat and experimenting with your gear and skills, and you'll be surprised how many you rack up without even trying!
