How to Fish 360 No Scope Achievement: A Reliable Setup

Separate the confirmed condition from route advice

Steam lists the achievement as "360 no scope" and says to kill a creature with a 360 no scope. Community routes commonly recommend making the turn immediately before the finishing shot, sometimes while airborne, because that creates a recognizable trick-shot attempt. Airborne movement may help a player execute the motion, but the public achievement text does not state that a jump is mandatory.

Build your first attempts around the narrow confirmed condition: perform a complete turn, do not use scoped aiming for the shot, and make that shot kill the creature. Add a jump only if it helps your control or if grounded attempts repeatedly fail. This keeps one uncertain variable from becoming five.

Create a low-risk practice setup

Do not weaken the creature to an invisible sliver if damage over time, environmental danger, or another actor could finish it first. You want the last shot to be unambiguous. If your weapon damage varies, leave enough health to survive incidental damage but little enough for a normal direct shot to end the attempt.

• Choose a common creature with predictable movement and enough open space around it.
• Avoid a rare Drip target, a boss, or an objective creature you would regret losing during practice.
• Reduce its health carefully until your chosen weapon can finish it in one clear hit.
• Remove hazards and other attackers from the area so nothing else steals the final damage.
• Stand at a familiar distance where you can reacquire the same target after turning.

Perform the shot step by step

Use a sensitivity that lets you complete the turn without lifting the mouse repeatedly or losing control on a stick. Extremely high sensitivity can shorten the motion but makes it harder to prove to yourself that you completed a full rotation. A deliberate, continuous turn is preferable to several uncertain jerks.

1. Center the target and note a landmark directly behind or beside it. That landmark tells you when the rotation is complete.
2. Keep the weapon in its normal hip-fire state. Do not hold the input that brings up a scope or aimed view.
3. Start a smooth turn in one direction. Continue past the halfway point until the original target and landmark return to view.
4. Fire only after the full rotation is visually complete. The post-turn projectile or hit must deliver the kill.
5. Wait a moment for the achievement notification before beginning another attempt or leaving the area.

Choose between grounded and airborne attempts

A grounded attempt is the cleanest starting point because you can manage rotation and aim without also timing a landing. Face the weakened creature, turn fully, reacquire it, and hip-fire. If the target moves slowly and the area is open, this method gives you the best diagnostic information.

An airborne attempt can make the trick-shot sequence feel more natural: jump, rotate, return to the target, then fire before or around landing. It also introduces more failure points, including an incomplete turn, a blocked view, and inaccurate vertical aim. Treat jumping as an execution option from community routing, not as a guaranteed hidden requirement.

Why a plausible attempt may not register

Most misses fit one of four categories. The turn stopped short; the player briefly entered an aimed or scoped state; the shot hit but did not deliver the final damage; or another source killed the creature. Record a short clip if possible. Slow playback can reveal a 300-degree turn or a late environmental hit that felt correct at full speed.

Change only one factor per retry. First exaggerate the rotation. Next verify hip fire. Then choose a weaker or more stationary target. Finally try the airborne version if several controlled grounded kills fail. Randomly changing target, weapon, location, jump timing, and sensitivity at once prevents you from learning which part was wrong.
