How to unlock the Point of Impact trophy

    To perform a perfect shot with the Vulcan Gun (the machine gun bound to R1) you simply need to shoot the blue light on enemy tanks.

    I was easily able to unlock this trophy on the AR challenge "Untouchable". Enemy tanks do not move in this challenge (making perfect shots easy).
    Note: Remember on this challenge you cannot take any damage, one shot and then dodge, repeat x5. Easy win. Good luck.

    LionSquirrel02Yes, Untouchable was definitely the easier AR to do to get this. Thanks!

    The Vulcan Gun is the machine gun weapon on the Batmobile (R1). Load up the AR Challenge "One Man Army" and just keep trying until you get the trophy. To get a perfect shot you have to hit the glowing blue light with one shot of the Vulcan Gun. It took me about 10 tries before I got it. You must do this 5 times in a row without taking damage.

    It can be really annoying since the drone tanks like to slightly move right as you're firing the Vulcan Gun but the AR challenge I recommended is easy, short, and will give you 4 or 5 chances to get 5 in a row before you run out of tanks, and if you don't get it the challenge restarts in a second so you don't have to wait a long time between tries.

    Cryptic_AliasYou might want to add that the Vulcan Gun is used by pressing the R1 button, just to clear things up a bit more. For the rest the AR Challenge worked like a charm.

    The Vulcan gun is actually L2, for everyone who switched Battle Mode Toggle on to make the Batmobile better to handle.

    This trophy is most easily attempted via the AR Challenge One Man Army (or Untouchable) under the Batmobile Combat category which is unlocked early in the game. It is recommended that you load this up to make this trophy as easy as possible, although the same method can be applied to any area of the game. You may want to upgrade your Vulcan Gun with the precision upgrade as well prior to attempting this.

    A perfect shot is attained when you use the Vulcan Gun ([cn_RB]) to get a direct hit on a light tank's weak spot with the first bullet that leaves your turret. The tank's weak spot is located on the top, near the turret directly where there is a visible glowing light. Hitting this weak spot immediately after using the Vulcan Gun will make the tank explode and grant the player with a "Perfect Bonus" or "Perfect Critical" indicator in the top left of the screen. If you miss you will instead get a "Critical Bonus" or "Critical Shot" which DOES NOT count.

    You'll want to use your movement to get nice and close to the enemy light tanks, which will help you avoid missing due to weapon accuracy. Another important note is to make sure you only shoot if you are 100% certain that you will get the hit. A good method is to stalk a light tank until it stops and tries to shoot you, there will be a short moment where it stops moving and this is the best time to hit them. The trophy is awarded after 5 perfect shots in a row without taking any damage. If you mess up feel free to restart this AR Challenge until you are able to get it.
