The challenge is completed on my game, however the achievement never popped. Not sure what to do for it to register the completion.

Quite a few people reporting similar things for some of the other gun achievements. You'll just have to wait for a bit I guess. Hopefully EA will implement a solution for this very soon!

This glitched for me too. My last weapon was the Devastator. In game tracker was showing 49/50 for a good number of kills while in freeplay. After returning to base the challenge was shown as completed and had already progress towards the level 2 challenge but no achievement. I wonder if completing level 2 on one of the sniper rifles will get it going. Did anybody try this?

Just got this after a sniper kill. I didn't play the game in months, I guess it was patched.

There are three sniper rifles in Anthem, and for this achievement, you'll need to get 50 kills with each. You can see your progress by pressing cn_back, then cn_RB over to Challenges, scroll down to weapons and then to sniper rifle. Sometimes, you'll need to press cn_A twice, then cn_B to get the game to show all the challenges available. For the first challenges, all enemies count the same, so focus on the weakest enemies available.

You'll want to make sure that the weapon you are using is close in power level to the rest of your gear. Any newly collected or crafted weapon will do. It can be hard to get a specific weapon to drop. You may just have to keep killing bosses and replaying missions until you get the weapon you need.

Each Sniper Rifle functions differently, but they all have low reserve ammo. I recommend bringing gear to improve your ammo storage and carrying a machine pistol or assault rifle for backup.

The Deadeye is exactly what you expect from a sniper rifle. 5 rounds in a magazine, fires slowly, high zoom. Unfortunately, Anthem's fast-paced combat makes it hard to get kills with something so slow. I recommend going into freeplay and killing wildlife from a safe distance.

The Whirlwind is more like a scout rifle with zoom. If you used the raptor in Mass Effect, you'll find this similar. It hold 12 rounds, and each will kill a weak enemy with one shot.

The Devastator is weird. It fires a round that explodes on impact, then immediately needs to reload. It doesn't deal enough damage to kill elite enemies in one hit. After some trial, I've found the best use for the devastator is hit weak enemies just as they spawn in. You can often get multiple kills this way.

Shotgun I challenges task you with killing 50 enemies with a specific weapon. You must use the Deadeye, Devestator, and Whirlwind and kill 50 enemies with each to unlock this achievement.

You can check your progress toward this under Weapons in the "Challenges" in the menu.
