    This one can be farmed if you want to. I would suggest loading mission 7 (Pont Du Fahs Airfield) and getting to the snipers nest marked on the map with a red star. Make a save, shoot the longshot target (620+ meters) and then reload and keep doing it until you have the required distance.

    When mine popped I had a shot distance in my service record of 85001.63 m.

    EDIT: See ScuzzyBunny's comment below for a possible optimisation.

    EDIT: The actual distance needed is 84,390 meters, thanks Shanevolution.

    Euler13Yes, that was a great spot. Thanks, Albert Scale.

    When I'd finished the campaign I had about 42km. I got a save on the airfield strip, as ScuzzyBunny suggested, with two tagged: the longshot and a sniper in the nest. With about 1km combined, and taking about 20 seconds to take the shots and reload, it took no time at all to get to 84km.

    KanchanaburiFor those who didn't know like I didn't, you MUST complete upto that mission on SOLO for this campaign to be unlocked. I did on coop and can only do this on coop which doesn't have a save. Just a note - so you don't get excited like it did when reading this!

    Shaneanigensjust incase anyone was wondering, the exact amount is 84,390 meters

    Gerbasgamerlol when I finished the campaign, I had barely over 20km.
    I found the silenced pistol to be much more effective in the game.

    VRETENAR 906That actually didn't take that long and I was only halfway there.

    RobCougarI did that long shot at least 12 times, reloading between each shot but counter didn't go up, distance total stayed the same. What did I do wrong?

    Albert ScaleI'm not sure to be honest, have you tried restarting the game? Maybe the stats only update when you exit. It's been a few years now so I can't remember how the stats behaved for me. Let me know if you work out what the behaviour is and I'll update the solution smile

    darianw 007This wasn’t working for me either, because I was using Load Game. When I tried Load Last Save it worked fine.
