How to Get a 40m Headshot in Ghostwire: Tokyo (Sniper Trophy)
One of the challenges that Ghostwire: Tokyo issues to players is getting a 40m headshot to unlock the Sniper Trophy. Unlocking this trophy can be particularly difficult considering the only ranged weapon in the game is the bow, but it can be completed with a little time and patience. Visitors don't exactly make getting a 40m headshot easy either, as they constantly move around and often have an umbrella shielding them from above.
The good news is that getting the bow is part of the main story very early on in the game, and Akito won't need any upgrades to his skills in Ghostwire: Tokyo in order for the arrow to travel the 40m. Players may find it helpful however to increase their quiver size so that Akito may hold more arrows, but it isn't necessary to upgrade beforehand. Additionally, for those who purchased a deluxe version of the game, the Shinobi Kunai takes the place of the bow cosmetically but still works just the same for unlocking the Sniper Trophy in Ghostwire: Tokyo.
Similar to the photo shown above, the first players will need to do is find an enemy that can provide a clear 40m distance from any location. For example, using a Tengu to reach the top of a building, finding a Visitor, then using the first glide ability in Ghostwire: Tokyo can easily provide enough distance if the rooftops are open. Some Visitors, such as the Rugged Walker, will have umbrellas that have to be destroyed first. Using Akito's Ethereal Weave, destroy the umbrella, then flee to a 40m perch from atop a different building.
At any point when a Visitor is found, use the custom marker on the map to establish their location and keep moving until the appropriate distance is reached. Since the arrow has a bit of a dip in its flight path, players may find it easier to shoot from above. This will still require Akito to aim slightly above the Visitor's head, but the drop is much more manageable. When aiming the crosshair at any of the enemies influenced by Japanese folklore in Ghostwire: Tokyo, try aiming no more than half the distance from the center of the X to the outer ring above the Visitor's head. From there, adjust accordingly.
This shot can also be accomplished on the ground on a long street, but it may prove to be more challenging against Visitors that have an umbrella. Alternatively, be on the lookout for the Visitors that stand still against a doorway or car, and the Sniper Trophy will be much easier to obtain in Ghostwire: Tokyo.
Ghostwire: Tokyo is available on PlayStation 5 and PC.
