What is a Skillshot and how can I do one?
A Skillshot is a type of action needed to gain points in Bulletstorm both Single and Multiplayer.

For Instance, a common skillshot known by all is a Headshot, to do this you need to shoot an enemy in the head with a bullet based weapon.

Skillshots do two things for you:

1 You see the satisfaction of pulling off a Skillshot (And the graphics to go with it)
2 You gain the points depending on the skillshot done that can be used to buy better gear and upgrades.

In this guide I will detail the Skillshot name, how hard the skill shot is and what you need to do to get it.

I will not put points as most I do not know, needless to say, the harder the skillshot = the more points.

Skillshots are listed by colour as follows:
Blue = Basic (Easy to do)
Yellow = Normal (Not so easy on the fly but not hard to pull off)
Red = Complex (Hard to do but the rewards are worth the extra effort)

However, the first time you do a Solo skillshot in the Single Player or in the Multiplayer you get addional bonus points, so it pays well to kill enemies in different ways to maximise points.
Solo Weapon Skillshots and how they can be done
These Skillshots can all be done Solo and are all the weapon related ones
Ones marked with an * indicated they can also be done in Co-Op if the actions are shared converting them into Team skillshots.

Just an FYI because the character limit was all used up, Trip Wire also works for the Screamer for normal shots

Thanks For the Mad Scientist, good to see how crazy I can get!

@giorgione pm'ed with answer to repeat for anyone else: the database updates when the weapon access has been unlocked by the dropkit, the database will update then and everytime you connect to one. If you die any gained skillshots before a dropkit has been accessed will be nulled and you will need to do them again.

Ghostbear  [author] 12 May, 2019 @ 4:19am
