Swarm of Darkness challenge is too obtuse, especially for a Page 1 challenge.

I don't know if this is universal, but Artist is one of my mains, and getting 6 long-range bird shots in a single match is basically impossible due to the nature of her power. Especially considering the fact that, at long range, survivors can easily and reliably dodge, and most of your long-range shots aren't going to be done against gens, it's going to be done when sniping.

There's many different ways I could accommodate this, ranging from having entire builds trying to focus exclusively on sniping (Say, for example, rocking Thrilling Tremors and a few add-ons to make it more spicy), but the fact that this challenge has to be done in a single trial 6 times makes it unreasonably difficult to accomplish, especially considering it's a Page 1 challenge.

If I were to propose a change, either reducing it so that it only has to happen 1 or 2 times in a single trial, or removing the single trial requirement entirely, would be the best of both worlds. I've pretty much accepted the fact that I won't be able to get this challenge at this point unless I get exceptionally lucky.

    Its not really all that hard. Theres even an add on that helps with this specific challenge (charcoal). Only reason we haven gotten it is cause we keep forgetting to try to do it.

    I am really confused with this.

    How is it so hard for everyone?

    Am I just lucky?

    Are the survivors I face dumb?

    I really recommend using Tinkerer/Discordance/Merciless Storm, they make it easier. Also the Severed Hands add-on.

    As for the playstyle, be unpredictable and fire at gens even during chase.
