A master at my skill - Perfect Aim
By Technician Named Tay
Let's be real: This achievement and its requirements suck. Not as much as 10,000 kills, that one you can wander and farm no problem. This one in particular can go ♥♥♥♥ itself hard, especially the perfect aim.

The frustration reaches us at one point, the buggy/snapping enemies, diving getting us stuck on random objects, bullets not hitting your target even though you have the cross-hair right on it, its messy. Though I don't want you left behind, I'm gonna make sure you get this achievement just as I did even if it made me despise the game as a whole. Let's begin with a few steps.

Step 1: Get yourself in peace of mind
Trust me, you'll need it. Having to this while sleepy or anxious won't cut it and will just drag you down more, as a stranger wanting your health to be in good status, I suggest to ready yourself, either by activities such as taking a quick nap or even meditating, anything will work as long as you are prepared for the ♥♥♥♥ fest ahead.



After you do that, put yourself into a comfortable position in your gaming chair (I would rather prefer if you didn't have such a stretched out neck because of how this game plays.) and get the game booted up.
Step 2: Start the ♥♥♥♥ show
There's 3 tasks in about each, but we'll just go through perfect aim. Being that there's 30 levels (excluding boss fights) and they each come with this same set of tasks, you have to do 30 levels with perfect aim. It's a lot but don't get discouraged, these levels can take about 1-3 minutes alone, maybe a tiny bit more with the task you have to achieve. Going on I'll be explaining any tips or obstacles that may stand in your way while completing this achievement.

Note: I personally recommend the rifle for how you kill, as its got a fire-rate you can control and has less of a chance of accidentally spraying bullets due to a misclick.

Slow-Mo: Use it.

Or bullet-time, whatever you want to prefer, is possibly one of the greatest miracles you've seen in this game besides the death of Margaret Thatcher. You are able to see incoming bullets, dodge them, and (if you are careful enough) move around them. This is extremely useful for being able to carefully aim and kill enemies. Along with that, if you kill during Slow-Mo then you also get a little bit added back, so remember to go for kills to keep it going. When aiming, you can notice that your cross-hair pops up with an X in the middle, which means that you are guaranteed to shoot an enemy in your sights.

At least, you think so.

Everything makes you pissed off.

Not every bullet may hit, in fact it may stop in the most confusing places, things like cash registers in the casino levels or windows. These block your bullet and only break it, there's no penetration in this game (Besides if you spray through a door.) I recommend that you use Slow-Mo and ONLY shoot if you know you can hit the enemy in your cross-hair. If you notice a bullet get ♥♥♥♥ blocked or see it miss, just restart the level and you will be good to try it again.

The dreaded Mercenary goons and dodging

♥♥♥♥ these enemies, no seriously ♥♥♥♥ em. These guys you may have already seen, but not in the task of perfect aim. These guys can take up to two bullets, and you can't just kill them instantly, the second you get a hit on them they start rolling. These guys aren't the only ones who can roll, any single enemy can and will at random times and there is ABSOLUTELY nothing you can do while they do this.

Maybe, and I mean that as in its a bit risky to off them early as they do this. If you shoot a mercenary goon/dodging enemy as they are getting up from their animation, (as they stand upright.) you can kill them. This is risky but also useful if you are in a crowded situation while in Slow-Mo. I recommend that if you are fighting these enemies you make sure to have cover or Slow-Mo, and shoot them as soon as you can while in combat.
Step 3: Believe with a break or two
Okay, you probably started to notice the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ the game is throwing at you, and you may just be getting a little frustrated. Signs of this can be seen with you rushing in and thinking too quickly, causing you to die or miss. Don't give up, its not your fault that this game has some of the most unpredictable and unintelligent behavior you've seen. Take a break or two, walk your dog, do something peaceful, don't let this game and your objective stomp over your life.
Step 4: The End
It's over, you did it. If you are reading this after you have gotten the achievement, I congratulate you. If you haven't, then that's alright, I'm congratulating you either-way for listening to this advice.

I hope after you farm your 10,000 kills and 100% this ♥♥♥♥, that you can move on to actual fun games, such as Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain, RUINER, or any of the Hotline Miami games. You earned this achievement, even through the ♥♥♥♥♥♥ developed and buggy game-play: You endured, and I'm proud of you.

I couldn't agree more, here I am trying to get perfect aim on one, drives me nuts, but still, I am still playing, I would prefer if there was any other achievement instead of perfect aim, it's fun shooting up the place, oh there is one aspect that really shits me up the wall, the shotgun randomly misses if you shoot before they are ready to be shot, such a pain because I love the shot gun, but after you shoot guys that don't get hit you have to use something else, you shoot a guy point blank and he doesn't seem to notice you shot him, you say to yourself, it couldn't have missed, it hit but nothing!

A point I would like to add is that the game encourages replayability. It's once in a blue moon that you get all 3 stars in one level's playthrough But to give yourself a break and not go beast mode on your computer or yourself, it would be prudent to adopt a play style to achieve each star.

- Don't use bullet time to achieve fast completion time and no bullet time used
- Use bullet time for the perfect aim achievement - one shot one kill (dual pistols and rifle is recommended here, like you have mentioned).

I salute your Zen wisdom Sir!

Understandable, I said as such probably due to the amount of time I had played similar games like Hotline Miami which has no slowmo so I saw it as something regular.

Thing is with perfect aim you can't actually spray like you would do in hotline, even though it is something that icked me I finished it with little issue.

perfect aim is way easier than no slomo

Feel free to do so and enjoy your Christmas and holidays too.

Thanks for these extra details, if I think about it I'll add them in with your credit (since you brought them up), otherwise I'll probably forget and people can just look in the comments to see it.

Merry Christmas, thank you for reading. :MRDOPAMINECOOL:

Also, if you are really close to enemies, it can sometimes take out 2 of them, that are close together.

Last tip. If you are "starting combat" and you aren't getting fired upon yet, do not jump before you use slowmo, use slowmo when the enemies fire on you. There is a slight cooldown before you can use dodge again, which is very noticeable in slowmo.

Hope these extra tips help. :praisesun:
And happy hunting!

So here is another tip. There is also another thing you can do, if you get extremely close to the mercs, where you gun is literally touching them, you can hit them even during their dodging animation. And if they are still on the ground, you can sometimes pull off an instant kill with that. Like executing them from behind.

I got the achievement after I beat the final NORMAL level, I didn't need to defeat the final boss to get the achievement. Meaning bosses probably don't count for this.
