Complete 3 Machine Pistol I Challenges

How to unlock the Straight Shooter achievement in Anthem - Definitive Guide

All of the Weapon I Challenge achievements are quite similar. For this one, you need to kill a total of 50 enemies with 3 different variants of the light machine pistol.

You can track your progress by pressing cn_back, then browse to Challenges -> Weapons -> Machine Pistol. Select the rifle you want to track and hit cn_X.

The machine pistol challenges required for this achievement are:

Fulcrum I
Hailstorm I
Trajector I

Basically, any mob can drop them. You will also get it off treasure chests and other mission rewards.

Colossus javelins are the only class that can't equip the machine pistol. Thanks to Lord Von Chimp for the update.

Need to adjust solution for this: you can‘t craft all weapons. The Fulcrum needs to be found in the world. Don’t sweat it, these will all drop sooner or later as you progress through the game.

@Lord von Chimp: Thanks! Fixed. Also won't even drop when you are playing the Colossus class I believe.

Make sure you update that the achievement is glitched for some.

This solution needs a little adjustment to say that a Colossus cannot equip the machine pistol. It won't even show in the crafting / weapons list.

EDIT: AS of 3/9/2019, this achievement is buggy and will not unlock for some poeple. No workaround is known. Hopefully, it'll get patched soon.

There are three machine pistols 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 machine pistols. 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.

All three machine pistols function like SMGs in other games. Medium magazines, high rate of fire, medium accuracy, high recoil. If you are having trouble getting kills with a specific one, take it into freeplay, and kill some wildlife. Bring a scout rifle for backup. Also, note that the colossus cannot equip machine pistols.

Machine Pistol I challenges task you with killing 50 enemies with a specific weapon. You must use the Fulcrum, Hailstorm, and Trajector and kill 50 enemies with each to unlock this achievement.

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