Bane of The Dead

Kill 25 Hive with precision shots in 1 mission without dying.
Trophy Type: Bronze

---

A precision kill is just another word for Critical. Whenever you shoot a Hive in the head a yellow number will appear rather than a white one, which signifies that it was a precision (critical) shot.

The Hive are insectlike creatures that come in shades of white for the weaklings, and red for the average and strong foes. You will first encounter a small amount of Hive enemies at the end of Story Mission 1, but not enough to unlock the trophy unless your accuracy and play are flawless.

The earliest place that you can reliably farm the 25 kills is during Story Mission 2, The Dark Within, at the Skywatch area. A large number of Hive will be battling Fallen and continuously respawn. Most die in just one or two shots to the head. If you missed your chance during the Story you can load up the section in Patrol and head right over, or just redo mission two if you are unsure about how to reach the Skywatch.

The next best place is at the very end of the Earth storyline during Story Mission 5, The Last Array. The final area of the mission is the Terrestial Complex, where dozens and dozens of hive are spawn in rapid succession. You can rack up a huge precision kill count here by picking off the Thralls (white Hive) with an Assault Rifle, as well as go for the Blink of an Eye trophy if you havent already unlocked it.
