Sharpshooting

You can also wager some cash on a friendly test of your aim. As you liberate more outposts, civilians can move into the nearby abandoned houses and are willing to challenge your shooting ability. Once unlocked, a shooting challenge is labeled on your map with a .

Sharpshooting challenges come in three types: sniper rifle, pistol, and shotgun. In all three cases, you’ll be skeet shooting, although Rook Island being what it is, they find it more cost-effective to use actual ducks. The targets are released from the sides of the screen and you’ve got until they get out of sight to destroy them.

Depending on the amount of your wager, you must shoot eight, ten, or twelve ducks out of the sixteen released in order to collect on the bet. Back out early or miss the par and you lose the money you put up; succeed, and you win that amount. You can bet $50, $100, or $200 on a sharpshooting challenge, or try a round out for free.

Sharpshooting isn’t tied to any Achievements, Trophies, skills, or other accomplishments. It’s strictly meant for fun and to help hone your skills. If you can win an expert challenge with the sniper rifle, you’re truly a master of this game.
