Strategy:[]
The Breaker's Barracks is the first Proving Ground and, as such, also possibly the easiest. It is possible to do this challenge with the unupgraded bow, but it will require very good timing of Power Shots.
Simply line yourself up with a set of three targets while standing almost touching one, and shoot through each three-group in order. Polish off the lone survivor, and you're done. If this challenge gives you trouble, penetration and damage upgrades will help make killing the targets less of a timing issue.
There is a Video Guide available on this Wiki.
Weapon Pick Lines[]
- Cael Hammer: Ain't much Kid can't handle with Hammer and Bow in hand.
- Fang Repeater: With the repeater and the bow at the ready, Kid aims to keep a safe distance.
- War Machete: A bow and a machete, every bit as effective as the fancier stuff.
- Scrap Musket: A bow ain't much good in a crowd, but a musket sure is.
- Dueling Pistols: Even our lightest ranged weapons are not to be taken lightly.
- Brusher's Pike: Kid don't always care for fancy guns and things. A bow and pike will do just fine.
- Army Carbine: Best not let them get too close if you only got a bow and a carbine.
- Fire Bellows: Bow and bellows make a strange and fearsome team.
- Galleon Mortar: Sometimes arrows ain't enough, so Kid packs something bigger, just in case.
- Calamity Cannon: We've fought with bows for centuries. Calamity Cannons, not so much.
