Question
In the Saintsbook, there's a challenge from Shaundi to make 25 Nut Shots. However, I'm having difficulty pulling this off (I also had a hard time completing this challenge in Saints Row 2 and was never able to get 3 gold stars).
I'm currently dual-wielding 45 Shepherds to make my attempts. I was previously using a shotgun, but it seemed to be just killing the guys before I received credit for the Nut Shot. Sometimes I see them grabbing at their groin in pain, but I still don't get credit.
How can I effectively complete this challenge? Does this have to be a killing blow? Does it have to not be a killing blow? Is there any particular weapon that is better for this challenge?
Answer
I did some more research on this last night:
- I only seem to be able to do this on male gang members. I haven't yet gotten a nutshot on a female gang member or any police officer. I don't know that it is impossible, but it's at least much harder.
- Try to shoot at them when they're facing you. If they turn to the side it becomes next to impossible to get a nut shot.
- Aim for the belt buckle, if they have one. If not, the waist of their pants. If you aim any lower, it tends to count as a leg shot and they'll turn sideways instead of grabbing themselves. (This game apparently takes some liberties with anatomy...)
- You have to kill with the nut shot to get credit. It doesn't have to be a one-shot kill, but the killing shot must be dealt in the testicular area.
I believe the upgraded pistols work best, just because of accuracy. I also had pretty good luck with the laser assault rifle. It's still very inexact, I'll probably get nut shots on 20% of the people I'm trying to get it on.
Since you've got to do a lot of careful aiming, taking a human shield first also helps.
