How to unlock the Super Zen No Aimz achievement in Pool Nation FX - Definitive Guide

The key to getting this is Drop Stop (when the pockets catch on fire). While Drop Stop is activated no new balls are added to the table. This is activated based on points. As far as I can tell there is no real way to know or see how many points you have or how many points you made on a particular shot. However, shots worth the most points seem to be kick shots (where the ball hits 2 or 3 cushions before being potted) and also long ball streaks will help to activate Drop Stop. It is possible while Drop Stop is activated to make a shot that will also activate Drop Stop which will then refill the Drop Stop meter and extend your Drop Stop time. That being said i will tell you how I was able to get the 20 min endurance with no aim. I simply shot the cue ball at a medium to hard amount of force the second I was able to and just knocked balls around the table. You will miss. A lot. But, you will also make some crazy shots worth lots of points which will activate Drop Stop. I literally did it on my first attempt. I thought that it was a fluke so I did the same thing again and lasted over 18 min. So it may take a few tries and you will need luck but you will get it and it wont be near as stressful as trying to aim all of your shots. Comment or message me with any questions.

This worked perfectly. Previous best was 19:43 (I was pretty sad when that ended when it did). First attempt with this method was 12 minutes, second attempt 30:57.

Okay finally done it, with 24:33.
Couple notes for others still struggling,
- If you’re already at 18/24 on the table by the 10-12 minute mark, just restart
- Be careful of too much power leading to ball overboard, this wastes precious time and adds another ball instantly (same for all fouls)
- On the note of fouls, if you pot some balls, then the white follows, it seems the balls you potted return as well as foul extras - BE WARY
- the last and probably most crucial point for me, keep a lookout for easy pots with minimum aiming and take them!

Works like a charm! Worth noting - you can do this on easy difficulty. I tried a few times on insane and could only get up to 7 minutes. Switched to easy and got 22 minutes first attempt!

You sure there not something I’m missing regarding how to take the shots? I’m getting 12-15 min but no better

Definitely not automatic, but surprisingly effective strat. Got it on 5th attempt & was close each time. Thanks!

I can't get this or any of the Endurance achievements to unlock because the game always ends automatically after 3 minutes and 6 seconds. Anyone else find this, or is it just mine that's glitched?

Mine is ending at 3 min 2 seconds. @tsetse f1y I had 3 balls on table when it ended and a 11 streak going.

Same thing is happening to me as well. Once it hits three minutes, the counter instantly shoots up to 24, when there's been anywhere between 5 and 12 balls on the table. A bit frustrating glitch, to say the least.

So I managed to get around the glitch. For anyone with the same issue, I ended up closing the game through the dashboard, opening back up, and playing a game on Medium. Same strategy, just make sure you get past three minutes to see whether or not the glitch is still active. Once I got to 3:30, I kicked the difficulty back down to Easy and got to 12 minutes.

Hope this helps someone.

Ok, so I tried this a few times and literally thought I was missing something as I was only reaching around the 12 minute mark but it really just comes down to luck a little bit. Got on my 5th attempt taking in to consideration some of the tips mentioned here in the comments. Had a time of 23:58 in the end. +1 from me.

This may be the biggest nerf of an achievement in the history of achievements, sure was tough when it was first released.

gratz to all who have it now.

Tip: I found this to be much easier after I learned I could begin aiming my next shot before the ball(s) from the previous shot came to rest. Not sure if it can be done from the top-down perspective. First-person allows the viewing angle to move after taking a shot, so you can save time by approximately aligning your next shot. When the balls come to rest, make final adjustments and shoot again.

This is the strat that worked for me after a few tries. It's also pretty hilarious to behold the physics of the bank shots you'll be making. Definitely combine a little first-person aiming action when you see an easy shot present itself. I was able to pull off multiple big streaks and lasted over 22 minutes. Go watch my PN captures for some pretty outrageous shots!

I mean, I literally just wailed on whatever the default aim was given to me, got lucky enough to sink lots of shots. Lasted 23 minutes. Easiest hard achievement I ever got.

From the main menu, select Endurance and make sure that you turn aiming aids off. It doesn't matter what difficulty you play on, you can still unlock this, and the other endurance achievements. So go for Easy, which mainly only affects the speed of which balls drop on your table.

The aim of endurance mode is to pot balls quicker than new ones appear on your table. You want to only really go for balls that are either near pockets or lined up straight with the cue ball and the pocket. If there is nothing on, try setting up your next pot, rather than going for long hopeful shots that hardly ever come off.

Every so often you will get a 'Ball Stop Dropper' to use. This will appear on the bottom right of the screen saying push cn_B to use. As indicated, this stops balls appearing on your screen for 15 seconds. You can elect to save this for when your getting close to your limit of 24 on the table, however please note that you don't build up your next ball stopper until you have used your current one.

If you reach 20 minutes at the Endurance table you will also unlock all the following achievements:
