How to unlock the Trickshooter achievement in Iron Brigade - Definitive Guide
you will need the U0-FM "Fighting Wolverine" sniper riffle for this. i tried alot using other lower powered snipers with ricochet and it was almost impossible. you need the extra damage plus ricochet+ for this to work.
its a purple sniper that you will get near the end of the game. it has the Ricochet+ ability, and once you have it, just fire it at huge piles of enemies and you will get it eventually as the shots bounce off each other.
Refinery is a good map to try it on since it has narrow corridors that shots can bounce off, if you want to farm it. But it really doesnt matter since i ended up getting it randomly on Volcano. It has a lot of luck involved so you might get it on your first try or your 6th/7th.

I got it at Oasis, against the knobs when they came from the slopes. It's pretty much luck as you mentioned.

I got it on Volcano as well - just wait until you see a pack of Resistors or Tommys and keeping firing,
You might want to mention you need to be level 10 to use the Fighting Wolverine.

Trickshooter
Kill an enemy with a ricochet sniper shot after 4 bounces
Equip the U0-FM "Fighting Wolverine" sniper rifle. You will need to be level 10 to equip this weapon.
Load Africa/Sinkhole.
I picked this map because there are a lot of Resistors and they gather around the bomb making them easy targets. I got it on the 3rd wave on my first attempt.
Go to outer edge looking down toward the bomb. I stood up near the "v" shaped wall. Take out the first 2 waves any way you prefer. Who knows, you might get lucky. Your first best opportunity will be on the 3rd wave. You will get 8 Resistors that will go directly to the bomb. Let them gather there then shoot the ground near them. If you don't get it, protect the bomb until the 7th wave and try again.
Good Luck!

Got it on the first try. For clarity, the "V" shaped wall is just a fence that's between the cliff and the bomb, closer to the cliff. It looks like a V if you're standing by the bomb.

Got a great tip for this! Aim for the bottom of the bomb in the middle of the map, as when you hit it, they bullets ricochet off the little iron bars, giving you extra bounces. Helped me get it a lot quicker, as you don't have to rely on having multiple enemies to hit.

There are two Sniper Rifles with the ability 'Ricochet'; the 'Indirect Sniper Cannon' and 'U0-FM Fighting Wolverine'. The 'Indirect Sniper Cannon' can be found on the missions 'Sinkhole and 'Port' in the second act 'Africa'. The 'U0-FM Fighting Wolverine' can be found on the missions 'Drydock' and 'Volcano' in the final act 'Pacific'.
The easiest way to unlock this achievement is to fire the sniper into large groups of Monovisions, it should work within 20 shots.
