How to unlock the Precision Strike achievement in Second Extinction - Definitive Guide

Here's what worked for me:

Setup
Rosy
Minigun with 3 Handling, 2 Stability, 3 Impact, and only the Scraping The Barrel perk on
Revolver with 3 Handling, 0 Crit, 3 Stability and the Reflex Sight Perk.(The Revolver Unlocks at Level 10)
Ammo Kit
Thumper
Health Stim

Mission/Strategy
Start the mission Vestige and drop at the closest drop site and follow the main mission until you've cleared all the T-rex eggs out of the cave. The T-rex should then follow you out of the cave freely, note it won't leave the cave until you've done 3/4 of the eggs.

Clear the area out and make sure you aren't being hounded by any raptors while trying to do this, squash any new nests or dinos before trying to go for the kill.

Right, shoot the T-rex up until he goes into his downed state, where he's hunched over with his tail curled up. Then let him get himself back up. Now you want to offload your minigun into the ground or whatever, so it's only got EXACTLY 149 bullets in it, 150 bullets killed it for me.

Now switch to the revolver and keep hitting it in the leg/knee one shot at a time, you don't wanna get an accidental double shot on it while it's going into its downed state. During this time more enemies tend to show up and whatnot, make sure you've cleared the area so you arnt being bothered, I had raptors knock me over and jump in front of my gun before. Also you want to be right next to his leg when he goes into his downed state.

Once you've got it into its downed state with the revolver, quickly switch to your minigun and spray its leg/knee, i didn't zoom/press LT during my attempt, I don't know if LT makes any damage difference but I wouldn't zoom in just to be safe. Once you've shot all 149 bullets into his knee, quickly call in a thumper on him.

Here's a video of me doing it earlier:
Sorry, this Game Clip has been removed


Note: If this doesn't work for you and you find it's dying sooner or later than 149 bullets, try following the same method and adding or taking away 1 bullet at a time until you get the sweet spot. That's what I did to get to my 149 number. It was 149 for the achievement, 150 to kill it with the minigun. It's literally that close.

Worked after two attempts with this technique. If you take longer than 0.1 seconds to switch to your minigun after it goes into the vulnerable state your thumper will come down too late. Very tight timing on being able to empty the 149 bullets and call the thumper down.

Worked 1st try after trying other guides to no avail. You put a lot of detail about weapon setup and where exactly you shot it which is critical for such a finicky achievement. Also, I find that solo method you presented was easier because with coop you have to worry about someone else accidentally damaging it a little by accident.

Definitely the best guide, I agree. I unlocked the achievement pretty much 2nd time in. I thought it might have be the 150 bullets instead of 149 but it was definitely the drop pod positioning. 150 bullets killed it for me, so I went back in and tried 149 with the drop pod placed under his head and he died instantly. Thanks a lot for the help man, I can get my 100% completion now :)

I used 81 rounds of the minigun on the neck plus 1 of revolver.

The weapons are with these mod:
Minigun - Handling +2 - Stability +2 - Impact +4 - Perks - Deep Pockets - Zero Waste.
Revolver - Handling +3 - Crit +1 - Stability +2

It has, of course, unlocked after a dozen attempts.

@BIGGABAWSS I confirm that the achievement releases it only those who kill the t-rex.
Even if you kill him at the same time by throwing the thumper together the achievement will release it only those who kill it.

Great guide, took me about 45 minutes trying to get it with this method... if you cant get the t rex woth the drop dont reset the game just let him get back up and try again! I found i had to be quick to drop the thumper after shooting my 149 bullets sometimes my minigun would hiccup and it would prevent me from launching it in time

By RicKuRuKuS on 05 May 2021 19:54
149 was the lucky number for me. Would recommended starting with 140 bullets and working your way up. Also make sure to get the Thumper called in right underneath him, couple of times mine landed a bit off his head and i don't think it did enough damage to oget the kill, so aim it right underneath his body/neck.

This worked perfectly for me! I did find it it easier getting the minigun to exactly 149 rounds by using the stability perk "auto-rotator." If you zoom in and do a very quick tap on the trigger, it'll go down by one bullet.

By rumpNrhino on 08 May 2021 00:39
To echo what some others said, the timing is the critical part ... I tried several times and got no traction, but I think I was waiting too long before switching to the Minigun. 149 bullets, switching when I caught him rearing up to the downed position, unloaded, and then dropped the Thumper on his head ... achievement unlocked.

By Orion#1088 on 08 May 2021 21:32
Just unlocked the acheivement with this solution. But i want to add some info that might be useful

Mission and difficulty: Vestige on Normal
Character: Rosy

Weapon: Minigun with only 3 upgrade in Impact, nothing else, no perk
Weapon 2: Revolver with 0 upgrades or perks

I dropped the T-rex in his downed state 1 time
Then I dropped him again using only the revolver. Immediatly after he went in downed state, i switched to the minigun and fired 149 rounds on his left leg. After this, IMMEDIATLY drop the pod.
If you waste a second, he will not die, 'cause he will recover. You must switch to the minigun, fire 149 and drop the Thumper in like 6-7 seconds max.

If you hitted him with another revolver shot, during/after the downed state animation, just wait. You must fire PRECISELY 149 and use the drop pod on him.

Tried everything, the mission Rex, random Rex

Gun till down, 149 bullets, no hitmarker on Rex even when it’s right on his neck.

Does no hitmarker means I’m too slow?

Edit:

Did the homebound mission, the Rex is way easier since you got a way bigger area and easier to walk to where he’ll return to his spawn.

Got it on the first try

Now that stupid egg lol

By mcnolty on 14 May 2021 12:30
I recommend people just stick to the guide. If you use different upgrades or shoot different areas of the T-rex, the damage is not going to be the same and you will find the 149 number to be different.

Ok so I got this today with your guide. So RANDOM. You literally gotta shoot the LEFT LEG NOT THE RIGHT LEG. you would think it would be exact same damage a leg is a leg. After 30 to 40 attempts on right leg and no success. I got it 1st try on LEFT leg lol. Cheers man and otherwise guide is great and on point. Silly achievement

I've tried countless times and Rex can die between 113 and 148 rounds (shooting in the knee/leg) and recovers so fast that by the the time you've unloaded it's back up again - there's a reason only 1.1 in a thousand people have this achievement (0.11%) - any other ideas?

I counted 18 revolver shots to the left foot before the T-Rex went back in to its ‘down state.’ 149 shots on the mini gun was also correct. The placement of the ‘Thumper’ should also be around the head/neck area to guarantee the kill.

I hate this achievement. Whoever thought it was a good idea needs a paycut. Thanks for the guide, followed it exactly including the 149 Bullets in the mini gun. Worked a treat. The trickiest part is being able to switch between revolver, mini gun and then thumper drop smoothly so you don't miss your chance when Rex is in it's shame zone

All worries are over guys this achievement is now very easy.

Start the mission Contact
Choose Rosy as your character
Now what makes this achievement extremly easy NOW is with the recent update they added an Auto-Turret in the second equipment slot.
We are going to use that to unlock the achievement.

for your Secondary weapon choose the pistol so we can do small amounts of damage.

Now do the mission normally using the Minigun or your weapon of choice until the end where the T-Rex busts in.
Now simply kill everything but this big guy.
After everyone else is dealt with aim at the Rex and hit RB do to a callout.
This will show his health bar.
Now get him very low using your pistol and right when you think he’s about to be in his recover stage call in the auto turret and give it a couple seconds.
When you see that the turret is up and facing him go ahead and start blasting.
Get his health semi low then hold off and let your turret finish the rest. It does a good deal of damage.
it’s all about timing but if you mess up run around and wait for your turret to comeback
remember he has the brain the size of a walnut.
Juke him and then try again.

Hope this helps guys!

To the top with this lad, this is the only way to go.

Worked first try. You are more than capable of clearing out everything in the final area of contact with the Rex running about, leaving you to work down the rex's health to within knock down state, call the turret, trigger it, add a shot or two then let the turret finish it off.

Faustian, I'd give you a kiss man, Fock that Thumper drop nonsense.

Worked like a charm! Anyone doing this co op only the person getting the kill gets the achievement. If you’re replaying the first mission my mate and I always found the Rex doesn’t always want to come out to play but we just had one of us be the bait to get Mumma Rex to the corner of the cave and then the other drop the turret at the entrance and shoot in.

MAKE SURE TO DO THIS IN CO-OP WHERE THE GUY DROPPING THE POD IS NOT THE GUY SHOOTING: The easiest way to get this achievement is having a minigun with level 3 perks for damage/critical and pistol level 3 perks/mutator, use the pistol to stagger the T-rex on the mission Contact (impossible to miss the T-rex as it's a mandatory boss) and LET THE T-REX GET BACK UP ONCE, it'll be too hard to prepare yourself for his stagger HP bar on his first down. Run away and stay alive and make sure your chaingun has 149 shots in it (it should take 150 shots to flat out kill the T-rex) and then you can slowly down him the second with the pistol, when the T-rex goes down make sure you don't hit him with any pistol shots and unload all 149 shots into him and then drop your thumper into him as we have only been able to confirm this achievement unlocks with the thumper as of yet. If the rex doesn't die due to the drop pod LET HIM GET BACK UP FOR MORE ATTEMPTS. The pistol shot is just used for safety as if you accidentally shoot him once while he goes into his staggered state you can still have a good attempt at him.
Using this method A holy chainsaw, Chaosslayerx187 and I were able to get the achievement in less then an hour of attempting for it, if you have any questions feel free to ask and I'll be around to answer and will edit the solution however it may help out more people, don't downvote without a reason however.

Yeah whoever instant down voted should be automatically kicked off of Trueachievements for being toxic, i'll definitely keep them off my help list from now on too for such gross behavior. The guy posting belows number for max damage on minigun does also work too, we just didn't have a close enough to exact number at the time, it's approximately 21 less bullets or 21 more per upgrade above or below level 3.

Taking this advice as well as other people’s solutions, after roughly 30 attempts I got it solo.

Normal | Campaign: Vestige | Rosy with minigun, perked all damage(not damage perks(like fire damage, just increased damage, the square boxes)), Magnum(no upgrades) to drop her down in danger status.

After knocking her twice the 3rd time I saved EXACTLY 125 bullets in the minigun, Aimed down sights to pre-roll the minigun And was so mad I shot all 125 shots in her BUTTHOLE, directly under the tail walked up and punched her in the face(not blue neck part) then dropped the thumper on her neck and it killed her.

Definitely feel there is a lot of RNG but good work TA gang!

The way I got this achievement is much like other guides already posted, however, I used the new artillery cannon gun.

Setup is as follows:
Map difficulty-
Character-Rosy
Gun- Artillery cannon (handling+2 and the extended mag) (impact +3) (stability+3 and dynamo)
Secondary gun- Revolver (handling+1) ( all the Crit perks)
Equipment- Ammo kit, Thumper, and health stim

I did this on the Contact map as the T-Rex is guaranteed to show.

First clear out all of the raptors and possible bulls. Then weaken the T-Rex until he goes into his wounded state. His tail will curl and his head will bow down in shame. LOL! Now let him recover and move around again. Make sure you have 14 bullets in the artillery cannon 15 will kill him. Once you have your gun ready with only 14 bullets, swap to your pistol and shoot the Rex until he is in the wounded state. Now call for the thumper to drop, quickly swap to the artillery cannon. Shoot! Shoot! Shot! Boom! Congrats you now have this achievement completed!
