What the wording tells us
The condition is written as an event — landing a headshot — rather than as winning the round.
The v2.0 patch notes describe this simulation as runners moving against a single hunter, which is the shot the wording refers to.
What players report
CommunityCommunity guides, not official material.
Both guides describe one player taking a rifle while the others cross open ground, and both note runners can survive a hit.
What the official text does not say
Community accounts do not settle these — they are gaps in the official wording, and we would rather name them than fill them in.
- The official text does not say whether the headshot has to be fatal.
Worth knowing before you try
- This one depends on another player being in a particular state or being the target of your action, so it cannot be set up alone.
- Local sessions played before 2026-08-13 may not have registered this achievement — registration in Local mode was broken until v2.1.1.
- Common is derived from the global unlock rate rather than from anyone's judgement of difficulty. How the tiers work →
The simulation
One player is the hunter, the others are runners. Runners survive; the hunter lines up shots.
