How to unlock the Bolter Hunting achievement

    Later on throughout the story you'll be introduced to bolters. You'll be able to then hunt them, and a new icon will be added to your map. Find one of those icons near a safe house. Go there, sneak up behind it, kill it, then run back to your safe house. Sleep till morning, then night (one whole cycle), and repeat as the bolter will have respawned! Can do as many times as you want to, with little threat as by the time you're seen by a volatile you're already back in the safe house!

    Edit: Just wanted to say that with the camouflage and execution skill you can kill the bolter instantly without him noticing you. Thanks Liliryn Dres!

    thomaskoratDoes this require sneaking, or can you just shoot or grenade them?

    Pink Freud PhDYou don't have to sneak, but as soon as you start attacking the bolter, odds are it will run so you have to be confident in your ability to kill it quickly.

    There is a safe house directly west of the tower in the slums...very slightly south....it has a skull on the map directly north of the the safe house. Go here and wait till night by sleeping. Hop over the north fence and you will see a yellow bus turned on its side. There will be a bolter on the other side guarunteed everytime. He will be under a light eating a body next to some train tracks....EVERYTIME. This means hop the fence and go 30 ft and kill the bolter, run back to the safehouse, wait a full day cycle by sleeping twice and do it again. Took about 3 minutes to get this.

    Cellar AtticEasiest and quickest method. Decent way for some quick Power XP too. Thanks!

    ^ This is the safe zone Res is talking about

    External image


    Where the blue marker is on the map, is the closest safe zone to a Bolter feeding ground. It's less than a 10-15 foot walk from the safe zone.

    Remember the Bolter gets frightened and will take off. Make sure your light is off and you're crouch walking towards it. One melee hit and it should be dead. Loot the Bolter for the tissue and run back to the safe zone. Sleep until morning, then sleep until it is night again and their should be another Bolter in its place.

    Goodnight and goodluck! toast

    No Moneyy@MrTechMgrGuy You can't miss the Bolter part because it's part of the main story. So if you don't want to read my spoiler, just keep playing and you'll know when you've got to the right part.
