How to improve the score in the Trapper Shingle challenge

bastion

After triumphing over the Breaker's Bow challenge pretty quickly, I was feeling pretty proud of myself…only to get shot down as soon I got to the Trapper Shingle. In this room you have to use your Fang Repeater to shoot down small targets that appear…while running away from the collapsing floor. I can't seem to get the second place prize here, even with the repeater upgraded to hold 14 shots; as soon as I reach the last row of balloons, I don't have any time to fire shots because the floor starts falling too fast.

How do I improve my score here and win the first place prize? Are there certain upgrades I should be getting?

In my experience, you need the upgrades to get first. I was only able to get second without significant upgrades.

The upgrades that make this challenge easy:

  • 55% faster reload: Since you move so often in the challenge, a larger clip doesn't really help.
  • 50% damage: Wider attack spread makes the challenge harder.
  • 55% faster reload
  • 50% damage
  • Bolts Seek Out Foes: Ricochet doesn't help, homing is an obvious benefit.

In actuality, you can get first without the Tier 5 upgrade and simply rely on the auto-targeting the game does once you are close to the targets.
