Thanks so much for this. I'd been trying different ways unsuccessfully for a while, but this worked like a charm!

[@user-vx6ep1jg8j]

Nice job! Your videos are very entertaining and show a lot of effort. Despite that I have already passed these challenges, still, it was very interesting to watch.

[@ewaldseiland8558]

Congratulations on doing this. For me, it never worked out. The very first scout you have shooting the 2 guys simultaneousy never survived his turn.

[@ShinigamiSamaH]

I put the Ruhm on Rosie...
It's like watching a bunch of moths flying toward an electric fence.

[@jaimereupert4247]

Me too. After I finally manage to beat those stages to get the weapon. (With A ranks, didn't do 2B because I didn't get it for some reason. 🤷)

[@tadschell2285]

So far on the first turn, I've found it impossible to take out the enemy shock trooper and enemy scout in one shot from the middle scout.

[@docheckfire3979]

thanks for the video, it's amazing!

[@engagex1]

Thanks, it's so helpful

[@bujankgan5177]

Thanks a lot!

[@the_jingo]

Bravo you made RUclips better place

[@RoyAnderson]

Good job!

[@Daniel-sr3fd]

Thanks, helped me get passed the trial

[@wertyjomane_psn9192]

There's actually a glitch, if you kill the ace and touch his body before killing the others it'll get you another weapon. This applies to the other trials as well.

[@engagex1]

It's legit, thanks for the info

[@jaimereupert4247]

I'm do that. Save me time on having to do the stage multiple times. 😊

[@tankerthewarengineer3018]

I need to try that what weapon does it gives you after you touch the ace?

[@lingth]

it will be good if you have the Scout "Melville" for the challenge since he has the "Trooper Killer" ability, and his HP is quite high among scouts, plus he gets a boost from being full HP (Energetic), if you have unlocked his hidden potential.

[@a0040pc]

I've positioned them all where you said but I keep failing on the enemy's first turn.

[@jacobson084]

Can someone explain why all the enemy troops open fire and almost instantly kill off my troops, when I activate them ?! How the f*** I'm supposed to beat this challenge? i can't do what is shown here...

[@jaimereupert4247]

I might have a slight advantage. I got all my current Scouts with the ZM Kar 8(g) and Rosie has the Ruhm. 😊

[@manhphuc4335]

can we do this with the rhum? you can clear the dlc behind her blue flame, where you control imperials and selveria, no upgrade needed.

[@MaxStoryTeller92]

Yeah I managed to do this trial without a guide. I used Alicia (did exactly as you) Noce and Hanss (after trying with another shocktrooper in Noce's place and being destroyed all the time) I got a Rank D, but after getting the weapon, everything is easier. Rosie can manage by herself. Any one managed to get more weapons?

[@jaimereupert4247]

I beat the Scout one and got their weapon, now I'm try doing this one. 😊

[@erwinespino2859]

[@F0xdash]

the machine gun from this challenge worth the effort? i mean i have it, but i dunno... i think i can get something better.

[@jakstrieder]

I only have one question.. why and how did you get so meany ZM weapons? do you get them every time you kill a named troop holding one? like repeating the scout challenge to kill the gold gun?

[@engagex1]

Yes, that's how you got it, farm the scout challenge

[@jakstrieder]

a little late buddy lol gave it a shot my self and found out for my self

[@turgon4]

My only problem here is that I only have 1 ZM mk8.... where can I find others? started to A rank all my mission around chap 10 :( and before that I attacked from far away and barely go search the ace corps

[@silvk1000]

farm the scout skirmish

[@turgon4]

silvk1000 yeah found out there was a NG+ XD thx tho

[@silvk1000]

Now try the same without save spamming and with starter weapons

[@fauzanramadhan9046]

It's almost impossible since the aiming in this game suck (I know it's because the RNG, and you need to level up both your units and weapon, but I think this mechanic is honestly stupid) and good luck try to kill the ace, that bastard always dodge my shot

[@hitoriki81]

Waaaaay to much saving, kind of annoying tbh
