How to unlock the Pistol Mastery achievement

    A Critical Hit occurs when you hold LT to aim at a target, the reticle darkens, the crosshairs fully "lock in", then you successfully fire and hit the target. It does not have to be a headshot.

    An easy place to get this done is at Marburg's Villa where you will face some enemies with an endurance bar in addition to their health bar in the game room. Kill all but one of the enemies making sure to leave one with the endurance bar, preferably one with an SMG/AR as the guys with a shotgun will attempt to close in on you.

    Once you are left with the last enemy, run around and take cover behind one of the gaming tables at the far side of the room and see if the enemy will go behind a table across from you. You can now lean out and aim for their feet under the table taking at least 2-3 shots at their feet waiting each time for the Critical Hit reticule and then waiting for their endurance bar to regenerate.

    You can very easily get to 100 critical hits this way with ammo being the limiting factor. I did it on easy, but should work on hard as well.

    FoogaI know this is super old, but no one seems to have mentioned anywhere that hits from the Pistol skill "Chain Shot" count toward this achievement. My achievement popped when I used it on a guy. Much easier than waiting for the reticle to turn red.

    When you zoom in on an enemy with the pistol, the reticle will start to turn red and create a cross-hair with little dots. Once the dots stop moving, pull the trigger, and you'll (hopefully) hit the enemy. Just do this 100 times across a single playthrough, and the achievement is yours.

    Critical hits are when you aim at the head of an enemy, as the reticle starts to turn red, and when it is fully focused on the enemy, shoot. It is powerful enough to kill instantly. You must hit enemies with these critical shots 100 times.
