Doing the final challenges for Sharpshooter and one of them is to kill 20 NPCs without being detected. Does this mean that the bases etc cant alert (Go Yellow) or does this mean no visual detection (Go Red)? I took out a couple of large bases last night with added three man patrols without any of them going red and the damned challenge hasn't completed. Any assistance would be helpful as I wanna finish this off and move on to another class to work on those to get the signature weapons but wanted to finish off the Sharpshooter tiers first.

 

Danka Guys

Danbaron told me they cannot go yellow. Glad to help when we are not playing PvP.

Got some additional info about your question please watch:

Also people say there might be a bug:

Must be because the first video the last two guys shown one went yellow when he shot but he still got it.

Im getting a bit at odds with the bugs I gotta say. first week I never saw one now its every night.

So I figured out all of my issues I think. The two missions that I went on and looked like they completed but for some reason did not. When i saw the Focus prompt pop up I was used to seeing that when I was sliding on a hill to regain balance and control, however, it was up at the mission point but I wasn't out of control so I thought that weird and was ignoring it as a possible bug. Lo and behold I hit focus and it completed the mission. Since both of these were investigate xxx at location XXX it would have probably been a bit more intuitive to have a investigate prompt pop up instead of a focus prompt but now I know. Score one for just hitting a button when on screen to see why it was up.

The end challenge is indeed as long as you are not visually detected. They can go yellow all they want as long as they do not go red you are golden. I think what is so frustrating is that the game mechanics are not so much broken but do not always load or stay loaded. I literally took a fast travel to a zone where I had faction missions and a ton of patrols and vehicle camps and shot twenty guys at distance and the objective completed. It took me 5 min max. In case you are wondering the Scorpion Scout fully upgraded is a beast.

One thing I saw in a lot of videos is the complaint about the higher tier you get the non existence of standard weapon drops in order to get the standard parts. I was looking at the store last night and lo and behold a standard grade pistol. Bought a bunch of them for 300 credits a pop and disassembled them. Boom standard parts.

Now for my next question....

When you disassemble gear such as helmets, LBEs, etc you get gear parts... WTF are those used for? Haven't ever seen a way to upgrade gear so no idea what these are used for.
