Alan Wake

The problem I found with the Hunting Rifle is that they are not as common as other guns, and when you do find one, you don't find much ammunition to make this achievement any easier. So far, the best episode I have come across for this achievement is episode 5.

When you get into the building where you grab the Helicopter keys, an enemy will smash through a door. Kill or run past him, and you will find a Hunting Rifle here. Ammunition can be found throughout the episode, but as I said, it is scarce.

I have found a great place to farm Hunting Rifle kills. The problem I found with this achievement is that ammunition is sparse whenever you locate one, making the Shotgun a wiser tactical choice. Well, I've found a Checkpoint with a Hunting Rifle (16 rounds) and infinite enemies to kill.

## Please note, the DLC "The Writer" is required for this method. Sorry. ##

~~~ MINOR STORY SPOILERS AHEAD ~~~

First, you're going to have to play through 10-20 minutes of 'The Writer' to get here, because there're no loadable checkpoints between the beginning of the DLC and here.

Just play through until you encounter the 'Alan Wake's Life Ferris Wheel' where you have to run like a hamster through a very impressively orchestrated puzzle chamber to proceed. Once you've beaten the ferris wheel, enter the elevator at the end. Note, if you don't already have it, this achievement will pop now:



NOW you should emerge into Stucky's Gas Station. Here you'll be able to pick up the HUNTING RIFLE and 2x HUNTING RIFLE AMMO from the shelves inside the store and head outside. Out here infinite taken will gradually spawn in waves of three or four and attack you. Simply empty your Hunting Rifle into your aggressors and when it goes click, allow yourself to be overwhelmed or throw yourself off the cliff (2 o'clock as you leave the hardware store)

You will reload in the store with the HUNTING RIFLE and AMMO right ahead of you yet again. Rinse and repeat.

In the last section of Chapter 3 the objective will change to Cross the Mountain Ruins and you will eventually come to a derelict shack of some sort with three floors. After exploring all floors and collecting ammo (hunting rifle ammo on third floor) you will reach the roof which will then collapse and send you back down to the third floor. There are about 7 or 8 taken in this room when you drop. Just kill them all with hunting rifle and reload a few times. It didn't take me long. You will have to had picked up the hunting rifle earlier in the level but there are one or two different locations where you should find it so it shouldn't be a problem.
