What are Longshot Kills?

Long Distance Kills

Longshot Kill Badge

Longshot kills are a method of eliminating where you kill an enemy that is at least 50.8+ meters away from you. Although the gun does not matter as long as you kill an enemy far away, it can be easily achieved by using marksman rifles or sniper rifles.

How to Get Longshot Kills

Kill Players That Are at Least 50.8 Meters Away

To get a longshot kill, you need to shoot and kill an enemy that is at least 50.8 meters away from your position. You can complete this challenge in any game mode, but it's best to do it when playing in maps with long sight lines like Protocol.

Note: This range value was tested in a private multiplayer lobby using a sniper rifle that had the Remuda Range Finder attachment. Multiple ranges were tested including 50m, 50.7m, 50.8m, 50.9m, and 51m.

Does not Require a Specific Gun

Longshot kills do not require a specific gun to be achieved as long as you kill an enemy that is at least 50.8 meters away. However, it's easier to complete this challenge using marksman rifles and sniper rifles as their damage and range are higher than pistols or SMGs.

Do Longshot Kills in Private Matches Count?

You Don't Progress Any Challenges in Private Matches

Progression for the Longshot Kills challenge will not register when you get them during private matches. You'll have to play public matches in Multiplayer to get Longshot Kills.

Depending on the gun pistols and shotguns have a closer ttk. The 1st comment is correct I been doing this challenge. Marksman rifles 40+meters. Pistols shot guns 20+ metered, aRS 40 I believe. So anonymous who posted 2nd was incorrect

It actually does depend on the gun, as you can get shotgun and pistol long shots around 20ish meters and i believe marksman rifles are around 40m
