Borderlands 3 has a firing range that challenges you to hit multiple targets within the time limit. You will earn an Achievement/Trophy when you successfully complete this challenge, however, this task has proven itself to be more difficult than it initially looks. In this Borderlands 3 Guide, I’m going to help you earn the Shooting Range Reward

How to get to the Firing Range?
You can find the Firing Range aboard Sanctuary III, the main hub location in the game, which you gain access to around LVL 15.
A rubber ducky on the mini-map indicates the location of the Firing Range. You can simply get to it by visiting Marcus Munitions and then going down the stairs on the left. There you will find the shooting range and a terminal to activate it. You will see signs aboard Sanctuary 3 that guide you to Marcus Munitions.
How to get the “Good Against Remotes Is One Thing” Achievement?
You will earn the ‘Good Against Remotes Is One Thing’ Achievement/Trophy when you get a perfect score at the Firing Range on any difficulty.
- Normal: successfully hit 15 targets within the 20 seconds time limit.
- Challenge: successfully hit 20 targets within the 25 seconds time limit.
This means you need to hit every target and you cannot hit Claptrap because the challenge will then stop.
Shooting Range Tips and Tricks
You can easily beat the firing range by playing with a co-op buddy because the game doesn’t register who hits the targets, only if they go down. Together you can easily take down all the targets, however, only the person who activated the firing range challenge will get the achievement/trophy, therefore, it would be nice if you return the favor and switch turns 😉
Weapon Recommendation
You want an accurate high fire rate weapon with a large magazine size and SMGs fit that description. A Semi-Auto SMG allows you to shoot accurately while hip-firing.
You don’t want to use shotguns because the pellet spread can hit Claptrap and stop the challenge. My frustration recommended a destructive Rocket Launcher but they are slow and don’t get the job done.
The Infinity is a great pistol as it has infinite ammo, therefore, you don’t have to reload and negate any downtime. This Vladof Pistol is also pretty accurate due to its fixed firing pattern.
The Dictator is a pretty good weapon to solo the Firing Range because this Assault Rifle has a Bipod Mode that increases the number of projectiles. The Dictator’s Bipod Mode does make you walk slower but you won’t be doing that anyway at the shooting range.
The Warlord will also do the trick but it does have a slow reload speed, therefore, you need to hit the 15 targets within the 40 magazine size.
