How to unlock the Counter-sniper achievement

    The Scout class in Multiplayer has a bolt-action rifle unlocked by default, so kill an enemy scout with it and you'll earn this achievement!

    I got this achievement after shooting an enemy and a teammate finished them off before they had a chance to heal. The default Scout rifle seems to do 75 damage by default so shooting someone and your teammate killing them should give you the Assist Counts as Kill points and the Achievement.

    I tried to look for the glint of the enemy Scout's sniper rifle scope but I haven't been able to see it consistently.

    If the enemy Scout has been Spotted look out for the Crosshair emblem (it looks like a Plus sign with a circle around it, with the top of the plus missing). You can see it here in the upper-right corner of this image:

    According to TorqueOTheDevil in the Comments there is another method for getting this achievement: While on horseback you should be able to get a Scout kill with the rifle and earn the Achievement as well.

    Homunculus FuryI am pretty sure the shine from the sniper only shows when they are aiming.

    SLAM PIG 86Is this specific to a game mode? I've killed no shortage of scouts with a bolt action and yet no achievement?

    TheOtherBarberNo, I'm pretty sure this will unlock as long as you are playing a Ranked Multiplayer match. (I see you just unlocked this achievement a few minutes ago DAKILLAHBEE, congrats)

    Whilst using the scout class kill an enemy scout in multiplayer whilst using a bolt action sniper, the default class starts off with the weapon required to get the achievement.

    Look out for enemy scout sniper scope glints in the distance to help you locate their positions.
