Is the Sniper Duel Achievment gliched????? Ive been trying to get this achievment for awhile now . i built a tower over 65 blocks high and have killed multiple skeletons but with no achievment. anyone else having this problem? it works great on XBOX ONE. any help would be appreciated.
Has your world ever been in creative or have you used host priv.?
I thought (?) the distance for the duel was horizontal distance so you could go to the desert and place a block on a hill then go to another hill (count the blocks) and place another easy to see block and then killing the skelly at that distance should work.
Yea I'm pretty sure the distance is horizontal. The distance is hard to judge without markers to give you an idea how far your target is. IAMBaldur888 isn't wrong when he suggests to measure out the distance and wait for a skelly to appear on the other side. I did the same thing from my border-wall. It took about 5 skellys to trigger but I'm pretty sure that was because the others were much too close.
I do know that the distance is horizontal, not vertical. So sniping from the top of your tower to a skeleton milling around at ground level isn't going to get it.
Find a rampart on your castle with a flat land vantage point. Then step 50 paces (use torches to measure) and build a row of cobblestone with a burning netherrack on top. This is your marker. Go back and snipe away (preferably with an Infinity Bow) when they are nearby and you'll get it.
