How to Complete Fight Fire with Fire Objectives

Kill 15 Idols with an Idol Lite Pistol

Purchase an Idol Lite Pistol

You can purchase the Idol Lite Pistol for only $300 at Friendly Fire! It's available early in the game and is easy to acquire.

Head to the Fairgrounds

Many Idols tend to hang around the fairgrounds in Old Town East, and this makes easy hunting grounds when you need 15 of them! Make a mess with a vehicle and step to the edge of the lot for an easy escape, all while drawing their attention to you!

The Idols Pistol is not a heavy hitter and it will take a few shots to down one Idol. One way to make this easier is to use another gun to lower the health of enemies nearby before taking the Pistol to finish the job.

Kill 15 Marshall with an MDI-77 Auto Rifle

Acquire an MDI-77 Auto Rifle

You cannot purchase an MDI-77 Auto Rifle. Instead, it is earned by unlocking and completing the Choplifting Side Hustle in Badlands North.

Note that the Badlands North Choplifting Side Hustle is not immediately available and you may need to progress through your current Choplifting Hustles to unlock it!

Choplifting Locations and Rewards

Head to Lakeshore

In Lakeshore North, you'll find Marshall HQ where you can always count on finding Marshall cronies. They normally have a perimeter at the entrances, so you can walk right up to start a gunfight!

The Auto Rifle isn't the most powerful, but it has a quick rapid fire rate that helps take down enemies quickly. If you're playing at higher difficulties, find some cover to avoid getting shot too much.

Kill 15 Panteros with a sawed-off shotgun

Purchase a Sawed-Off Shotgun

The Sawed-Off Shotgun, like the Idols Pistol, can be purchased from Friendly Fire for only $400. It is also an early game weapon that can be easily acquired for use!

Enter Panteros Territory

Finding groups of Panteros is easy when walking around areas such as East Providencia or Mercado.You can either take them on in small groups or attempt activities such as Threats and Ventures to fight them on!

The Sawed-Off Shotgun is not the most powerful weapon and Panteros members will not go down in one hit. You'll need to shoot and reload while constantly moving and dodging their melee attacks. You can also lower their health by using other weapons or guns before finishing them off with the shotgun.
