How to unlock the Skeet Shoot achievement in BioShock Infinite - Definitive Guide

I'm seeing a lot of complicated solutions that require you to do a lot of stuff. Here is a really simple one.
Find the weaker enemies (pretty much anyone but the heavies.)
Towards the end of the game you will have the Vigors "Shock Jockey" and "Undertow"
Hit an enemy with Shock Jockey (not the trap version that charges)
Hit the same enemy with Undertow before Shock Jockey wears off. (Not the octopus version of the "GET OVER HERE" the regular button tap version.)
Its water and electricity. That little bit about enemies instantly dying from a water+electricity combo still holds true.

If your playing on 1999 mode, then shoot them a few to get their health down.

I agree that the start of 'The Atrium' is a great place to do this, load up on Salt in the furnace and by the Boy of Silence, then piss him off and go to work on the patients, rinse and repeat. Add a hail of machine gun fire to taste ;)

I bumped into this by accident as I was cleaning up some other achievements and came here to make sure someone had posted this. Super easy way to get this achievement! Did this on the first checkpoint on the Hanger Deck in less than 5 minutes (load into the level, kill 3, reload kill 2 more, done!).

Another simple solution which has just worked for me by accident is to

load up command deck
Jump down and grab a rocket launcher to the right on the wall
Spring up onto the skyline. Kill all the first bunch of men with rockets
Then as the set of boats come in they drop off men. Let them jump onto the boat.
Then after as they're jumping off the balcony to the platform below just rocket launch them.

Took me about 3 minutes to get 5 just by reloading the checkpoint.

I loaded up hanger to get my last 3. You are on the airship and several enemies rush you. Shoot them a bit and then do what the solution said. I was on 1999 mode so those crazies in the atrium were too strong.

I tried doing this but either because it was on Normal difficulty or those heavy ones, they didn't die of the 1st zapp & a 2nd would kill them too fast so I couldn't get the undertow timing right so I made a slight modification of this brilliant solution & simply switched lighting with fire & voilà it worked so great I thought I'd let other know,a quick fireball followed by a quick blast of undertow & it seemed to count every time,only works on tougher enemies (like the 1st ones in The Hangar level as used for this achievement in the Walkthrough) I think,normal ones would probably die too fast :) Any way my compliments to the chef,hehe,great guide toast

I got this achievement using the following technique:
1. Aquire the Bucking Bronco Vigor
2. Have a shotgun at the ready
3. Use bucking bronco on an enemy (This will suspend them in mid-air, you do not want to shoot them yet) wait until the vigor wears off they will fall, this is when you shoot them!
4. Rinse and repeat a futher 4 times for your achievement! :D

Only your (this) method worked in 1999 mode. The other solution using UNDERTOW and SHOCK JOCKEY didn't work for me in 1999 mode.

I got this using the machine gun with the Undertow Vigor. Best works against basic enemies, otherwise you have to cut down their health a fair bit.

Press LT to unleash your basic Undertow attack, then as the enemy floats into the air, spray them with your machine gun. If it doesn't get them first time, the basic Undertow attack only does mininal-to-zero damage, so you can try again if needed. Repeat on 4 more enemies.

NOTE: Using the Bucking Bronco vigor doesn't work, as they need to be falling, rather than suspended in mid-air.

I got it using the bucking bronco. Got all 5 enemies using it. Just wait a few seconds and they start to drift down.

Yea I got it with the bucking bronco. You just have to wait until they are falling, pretty easy when using a shotgun up close though.

Bioshock Infinite - Skeet Shoot farming method

Easiest by far and takes no effort at all. As soon as you get the Pistol make you way to the boat as fast as possible. Watch an enemy fall down from the Sky-Line and Melee him. Skeet Shoot is shown in video below

Restart checkpoint and rinse and repeat

Please Subscribe to our channel if you want to be awesome LOL: http://www.youtube.com/user/NeedtoAchieve?feature=watch

UPDATE: Shooting them with your pistol works just as well. Thanks to
Shawdow XBL for the message

Notice: Why is my video getting negative views?! Please state why you have given me a negative view because I can't amend anything without feedback! Thanks

I got this achievement on Hangar Bay (nearing the end of the game) with the
shotgun and undertow vigor. The shotgun wasn't fully upgraded but had damage increase and reload increase (not relevant here). All 5/5 for this achievement I got by simultaneously activating undertow and firing shotgun at close range (LT+RT). Done and Done! Undertow works great for this part of the game anyway.

Wanted to add my way of getting the achievement.

I had the burning halo headgear equipped which game a 70% chance of lighting an enemy on fire. When I was near the edge I would melee an enemy and when they light on fire and tumbled to their death my count went up on this achievement.

Just wanted to add another way you can get it done. This also added to my total of killing people by knocking them off of Columbia (Bon Voyage achievement)

I just got this using Shock Jockey and Undertow. Hit them with Shock Jockey first(fast LT) then straight after with a fast tap Undertow.

I tried doing some of the solutions above, but couldnt get any to work. What I did was load up the last mission where you defend the airship on the way to monument island, and immediately headed up to the top deck using the sky line. Take out the first wave using the sniper rifle you can tear in, then wait for the pair of ships to come in. Enemies board the airship by jumping on, then jumping again over a rail to the furthest spot you can call in songbird. If you call in songbird just before they jump, then he will crush them as he lands and getting 1-2 kills for the achievement. Then reload the checkpoint and rinse until you get it. Might take a bit of practise to get the timing right but works a treat if you cant get the other solutions to work

The Best way I found to unlock this achievement, was using Bucking Bronco and a shotgun.
Hit a enemy with Bucking Bronco, but DO NOT shot, he will stay suspended in air, wait for him start falling and shot,then repeat until the achievement unlocks

There are a couple of ways to do this. The first is to use a Shotgun and the “Bucking Bronco” Vigor, which makes enemies float for a few seconds. When the effect of Bucking Bronco ends, they will fall back down to the ground and you have a second to shoot them with your Shotgun. By far the easiest method is the following, which was discovered by F8l Fool:

I've found a substantially easier method of unlocking Skeet Shoot.

All you have to do is hit a regular enemy with Shock Jockey then immediately follow it up with an Undertow. They will be electrocuted to death in mid-air with minimal effort. You can get all 5 kills the moment after you get Undertow in Chapter 28.

If you are playing on a harder difficulty, just get them down to 1/2 or 1/4 health before performing the combo.

Here is a video of this method:

Lift an enemy using Bucking Bronco and blast them with the shotgun right as the vigor expires. The timing may take a few attempts to master, but with an upgraded shotgun and Bronco, I managed to take out a group of 4 in one fell swoop.

You can also use the Shock Jockey/Undertow combo. Shock a weaker enemy followed immediately by an Undertow. This should render them muerto and count as a single skeet shoot. Repeat x4.

Lift enemies into the air using the Bucking Bronco skill, then when they start to fall, shoot them with their RPGs/snipers. It is advisable that the skill is not pumped up for a long time, otherwise it will fall faster. You can watch it here:

Equip the perks: Hat - Burning Halo (close fire strike) and Bull Rush pants (close strike knocks back enemies).

With such a combination, when you hit enemies close ( ) then the enemy will fly away and be set on fire, as if burning in flight. 5-10 kilos in this way and a trophy in your pocket.

Mustang will help us. We throw up the enemy, take a shotgun or other weapon. We wound him, it is advisable to send the enemy higher and shoot to kill when he, the enemy, begins to fall.
