skzypmd Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 I tweeted Guerrilla Games about the potential trophy glitch and obviously haven't heard back. I tried searching online and can't seem to find but one other post somewhere else about someone having issues with this trophy. They had said the counter was off in the game and that the trophy did eventually pop for them but not until much later. So far for me it says I have 105 human kills with 42 of those being head shots. Still no trophy for me. I've closed the application and reloading it with no change. Has anyone else noticed when it does pop, have also had trouble, know of a solution? I'm really enjoying the game and have every intention of getting the platinum. Just need a little help on this one. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Splathew Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 (edited) Both this and the get 10 Vulnerable machine fire or freeze kills took longer then they should of but did pop. Just give it time... Edited March 5, 2017 by Splathew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A12 Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 Yeah there's definitely something wrong with the head shot count. All human kills count as head shots in my game. But It did finally pop somewhere in the 40's. The 10 Vulnerable is just worded weirdly. They Must die while the status is in effect, but is it also by the effect.

Captain Anura Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 I'm not convinced that the in game counter is for headshot kills. Some of the humans wearing masks/helmets can take a shot without dying immediately (it does deal more damage than say a body shot, but it doesn't kill them and you do not receive the on screen exp notification for a headshot kill). If the stats page is showing total headshots, while the trophy asks for kills, this could explain why the trophy appears not to pop at the correct time. Unfortunately, I did not look at the stats page when the trophy popped for me, so I don't know if it popped "late". However, I can say it did pop so keep going, take out a few more enemies and I hope the trophy pops for you. As for the vulnerable machine kills, I think this one takes a while because the elemental damage can kill an enemy, without the elemental effect acting on the enemy. The circle that appears above the enemy has to be filled for that elemental effect to be applied. Once I realised this the trophy was easier to acquire.

snakebit10 Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 I was at 37 headshot on my stats page when it popped and I don't know how many vulnerable kills I was at when that finally popped. It was way more than 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you're on to something with the heavies not dying from single headshots. Both of these popped past their point for me but just to be sure use the heavy bow for mostly 1 hit headshot kills (you need to get that 25 bonus) and the easiest way for elementals is fire spamming the Glinthawks and if you're going for the platinum you'll run into thousands of them. just burn them al let the fire get the kill once their health is low Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glinthawks are one of the most annoying enemies in the game for me. Scrapers die like nothing too once you get a decent weapon, which shouldn't take that long.

HuskiesSymphony Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Does anyone know if the patch they did today was supposed to fix that bug? As others have said, the headshot trophy did pop eventually, but it did take way over the required number of kills to unlock it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Anura Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 I just did a before and after on the headshot count when I didn't kill an enemy, and it's gone up by one. So the tally on the stats page is not a count for the trophy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Layla Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 I got the trophy after 30 headshots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacks Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 I was at 37 headshots when my trophy unlocked (first bandit camp you run into with Nil, I think his name is). Funny thing is, I had 2 more total human kills than headshots by the time I reached 37 headshots (39 total human kills), which I know is nonsense, since I certainly didn't kill nearly every enemy with a headshot. So yeah... the stat is either borked, or something is screwy with the way it and the trophy calculates what constitutes a "headshot". I think the theory someone else proposed about how some hits to the head aren't OHKO, which can screw up the stats in regards to the trophy is pretty sound. I remember a couple of those guys at the very first encounter wouldn't go down with a single shot, so that might have inflated it a little (I just never bothered to check). But yeah... screwy trophy.

sephirothdude Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 (edited) Is there a way of viewing how many headshot you've done ?

Abbarraxx Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 The statistics page tracks all headshots, incuding non-fatal headshots on elite human targets. The trophy only counts headshots that kill the target. Same thing with vulnerable kills. The machine has to die while the flame or ice icon is present. If you shoot/melee a burning/freezing machine and it dies by other means (exploding chillwater/blaze canister, component loss, etc) it does not count. Basically, when a machine gets down to a sliver of health, just let it burn/frost. And then hit it with more fire/freeze arrows (body shots) until it dies.

Dangisuckatgamin Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 I got this trophy around 35-37 headshots I believe. It did pop late for me too. This game is so cool though so I didn't mind having to try for extra headshots! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JannvsDvinvs Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Mine unlocked after 41 headshots according to the stats. I suspect you need "Headshot kills" whereas the stats page lists Headshots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElMailMan Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 right now Im over 70 headshots, no trop. and it's the only thing keeping me from plat. tried to contact guerilla thru twitter, no response......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
