How to unlock the Master of Rifles achievement

    To get a mastery medal you need to headshot 50 enemies with all six rifles over a distance of 100 meters.

    So for this I loaded up mission 3 (Spy Academy) on Very Easy so there's no wind or gravity and start at the Beaumont marshland, from there head forwards on the linear path and stop until you see the academy and then make a save and watch for the sniper glints and try hit the snipers in the head, once you kill them then do some work on the soldiers roaming around then once you can't see anymore just reload your save then repeat!

    CarefulLearnerGold Medal on the RSC 1918 can also be achieved without having it unlocked. Start up Mission 9, turn around and pick up the Risc 19 rifle. Once equipped save the game. The weapon only has 4 bullets so make them count. After 4 headshots load your previous safe and repeat. I achieved gold medal in less than 10 mins.

    Typeonegativ71If you have DLC weapons, those count towards your 6 of each weapon. I used a mix of base and DLC rifles to get these since I hadn't unlocked all base weapons through the optional officer kill requirements in each level.

    To acquire this achievement you will need to earn 50 headshot kills from over 100 meters with each of the 6 sniper rifles. The best place to farm these kills is at the beginning of mission 3 Spy Academy. As soon as you start the level you will have the option of sniping various people in the area. Once you can't find any more people simply restart the mission and repeat until all 6 rifles have 50 headshot kills from the required distance.

    Some rifles are locked and will need to unlocked in the campaign. I have listed all 6 sniper rifles and how to get them below in chronological order:

    - M1903 (Unlocked from the start) - 50 headshot kills from 100m or more

    - SREM-1 (Unlocked from the start) - 50 headshot kills from 100m or more

    - Karabiner 98 (Complete Kill Challenge in Mission 2 (Crush the main target with a chandelier. Sneak into the ballroom by entering a window on the side and wait until the target walks under the chandelier. Use a rifle on the chain and it will fall to kill him) - 50 headshot kills from 100m or more

    - Gewehr 1943 (Complete mission 3) - 50 headshot kills from 100m or more

    - M1A Carbine (Complete Mission 5) - 50 headshot kills from 100m or more

    - RSC 1918 (Complete Kill Challenge in Mission 7. Kill the target with a V2 rocket. Either drop the V2 on the target or knock the target out and place him below the V2.)) - 50 headshot kills from 100m or more

    Once all 6 sniper rifles have 50 kills from 100m or more you will unlock this achievement. You can check your progress in the service menu. Go to medals and then weapons/items. Each gold medal mastery will count as 17% on the Xbox achievements. Once all 6 rifles have gold medals, a final 7th medal will be unlocked for mastering all rifles. This is when the achievement will also unlock.

    Cheers! Hope this helps.

    Springbok NLRegarding that Kill Challenge in mission 2 for the Karabiner 98: you can also pacify the target, carry him, drop him on the floor under a chandelier and then shoot the chandelier.

    In order to get the six Rifle Mastery Medals, you need to get 50 Headshot from 100 meters away with every rifle in the game.

    To help you guys, with this guide, I'll leave here a link to my Twitter, with a video and an image of one of the best places in the game to get headshots from 100 meters away.

    Mission 2: Occupied residence.

    I hope this guide can help you.
