The Fourth Challenge will require you to kill someone with a Tomahawk from 80 Meters away. In order to do this you’ll need to have your Dead Eye fully upgraded, and then when you find your target use Dead Eye and aim for the head for a guaranteed takedown.

This Challenge will require you to take out someone from 660 feet with a long scoped rifle that you can purchase from any gunsmith in the game. Once the weapon has been acquired head over and find your target and then position yourself a good distance away. If you don’t manage to get the correct distance the first time around, take a look at the challenge section to find out your recorded distances.

Your next challenge will require you to get seven headshot kills in a row, this is easily doable with the use of Dead Eye. Luckily for you this challenge isn’t timed so you can carefully pick your shots, but beware, if you die the challenge will reset.
