How to unlock the Double the distance achievement in Sniper Elite 3 - Definitive Guide

This one can be farmed if you want to. I would suggest loading mission 7 (Pont Du Fahs Airfield) and getting to the snipers nest marked on the map with a red star. Make a save, shoot the longshot target (620+ meters) and then reload and keep doing it until you have the required distance.

When mine popped I had a shot distance in my service record of 85001.63 m.

EDIT: See ScuzzyBunny's comment below for a possible optimisation.

EDIT: The actual distance needed is 84,390 meters, thanks Shanevolution.

FYI...if you tag the target from the nest, and then go to the runway you can save/ snipe 4 targets/ reload and get 1500m+ every 10 seconds or so. Long shot guy is 650m, spotlight operator 330m, guard below tower 330m, guy to the left by burning barrel 330m.

For those who didn't know like I didn't, you MUST complete upto that mission on SOLO for this campaign to be unlocked. I did on coop and can only do this on coop which doesn't have a save. Just a note - so you don't get excited like it did when reading this!

lol when I finished the campaign, I had barely over 20km.
I found the silenced pistol to be much more effective in the game.

That actually didn't take that long and I was only halfway there.

I did that long shot at least 12 times, reloading between each shot but counter didn't go up, distance total stayed the same. What did I do wrong?

This wasn’t working for me either, because I was using Load Game. When I tried Load Last Save it worked fine.

Yes, that was a great spot. Thanks, Albert Scale.

When I'd finished the campaign I had about 42km. I got a save on the airfield strip, as ScuzzyBunny suggested, with two tagged: the longshot and a sniper in the nest. With about 1km combined, and taking about 20 seconds to take the shots and reload, it took no time at all to get to 84km.

I'm not sure to be honest, have you tried restarting the game? Maybe the stats only update when you exit. It's been a few years now so I can't remember how the stats behaved for me. Let me know if you work out what the behaviour is and I'll update the solution smile

To score a total cumulative distance of a double marathon, you must have a total distance of kills that equals 84.39 km. Converted to meters, your total must be 84,390 meters or more. You can check your total by going to your Service Record > Statistics > Kills > General > Total Shot Distance.

An easy spot to farm this would be the long shot during Mission 7: Pont Du Fahs Airfield. Each long shot is around 600-615 meters. Once you see the long shot target, just mark the target and save. Shoot him and reload the save. Continue doing so until you're satisfied or the trophy pops up.

For this achievement you must have shot a total of 84.39km. The level I did this on is Pont Du Fahs Airfield. You may check your current distance in your service record. If you would like this to be quicker, you may just shoot the man in the distance (600m+), the one using the spotlight in the tower and the officer sitting next to AA. Just make sure you save first and continue reloading. Here is my video:
If you have any questions, comments or concerns please let me know. Hope it helps!

This is a cumulative achievement and can be attained through natural progression, but can also easily be boosted using the "Load Last Save" exploit describe in the roadmap of this guide. The best way to do this is do the save right before the Long Shot on Mission 7 (seen HERE), and "Load Last Save" after killing the target. Each kill will give you approximately 620m of distance towards the achievement. Repeat this process until the achievement unlocks.

The total distance needed for the achievement is 84,400m and your progress can be checked at any time using the Service Record location in the main menu.
