    I have come so close to getting it several times but then someone goes into struggle on first hook or just kills themselves its so annoying having it be dependent on that

    It’s definitely a lot harder to get the killer ones, especially for Nurse. *cries in console*

    For Wraith, I’d recommend using his “All Seeing” add-on as that’s how I got my trophy. Being able to see survivors auras just made it a lot easier to get the downs and if you have a Hawkins offering, throw that on too!

    Some of them can take quite a while to complete but that's not because of the survivor quality at red rank. The reason it takes forever is because of all the DC's from all the survivors there who have huge ego's and entitlement.

    Realized there was an adept I hadn't grabbed yet so I went to get it tonight and 6 games in a row the achievement was failed because at least 1 person DC'd even though I "won". Of course almost every after chat they mocked and laughed because they were able to intentionally make me fail the achievement. Being able to intentionally DC with the purpose of preventing someone from getting an achieve shouldn't be a thing.

    I like the challenge though. When I first start on a new killer I go for the adept first. Takes a few games but it's fun to have something to aim for.

    Oni was my hardest one fwiw. I am red rank so all four iridescents is the goal.

    Only have one left: Nightmare. And that's because I do not really like playing as Freddy. Found him very boring on PS4.

    Sadly in red ranks you need 4 iri emblems to get it so dc just ruins it.

    Don't forget the fact that insta down killers are even harder to get the adept with, because insta-downs hurt the chaser emblem. Just don't use your power, I guess..

    Yeah, adept Killer achievements are outdated and should get reworked to be only 4K with no Mori offering.

    I had been doing them while MMR was giving me baby survivors to deal with but now that they disabled MMR, I might have to stop trying again. Red Ranks are just too good as you need survivors to be pretty bad to get Merciless Killer. You need to hope none of them leave the game. You need to hope that they don't get gens done too quickly. You need to hope the last guy doesn't find the God damn hatch (the bane of my existence these last few weeks as I've been working on Adept).

    I breezed through the survivor Adepts because they don't need to play perfectly to get the achievement. You basically need to play perfectly as the Killer AND have a huge handicap as some of the killers have downright useless perks...

    I did adept Trapper and Freddy at rank 1, its tough but possible. Just gotta hope its not a strong SWF and you should be good :)

    You can't compare those two. Survivor heavily relies on his team. Killer IS his own team. Killer can't make mistakes, because no one can cover him and make the situation better. While one mistake by one survivor may cause all other 3 to die even if they themselves did nothing wrong.

    Survivor can't disable killer for long, while killer can cause survivor to perish in mere minutes (or if this is camping/tunneling situation w/o DS - even seconds). And you wouldn't even be able to use any actually useful perks if you were, for example, Quentin or Tapp or Ash or Steve or Ace or anyone else who has either useless or simply weak perks. This makes double pip on survivor almost impossible to get, when making an Adept. While killer simply needs 1-2 weak-ish survivors, no disconnects and understanding of his own power.

    Problem is - on high ranks weak survivors appear very rarely (unless you yourself are playing survivor lol). But they do appear. For example, I play Nurse like a complete idiot and still - I got her Adept, when I was rank 6 with 3 red ranks in lobby.

    But I do understand you. I was struggling a lot to get Plague's and Oni's adept achievements, when I still was on red ranks. With Plague I managed to make an achievement by using pools frequently and bringing her "wall-hackish" ultrarare addons with green apple. With Oni I managed to get it by simply having one bad survivor in the lobby. Try mixing up some addons, which you feel like would help you a lot. Secure your kills, try using your power as much as possible. Maybe check out some Trapper-mains' vids to know perfect spots for his traps. You can half-camp with Wraith to get more pressure by getting second person hooked, when he doesn't expect being grabbed or hit.

    Keep in mind that you HAVE TO get at least 9-10 hooks, this condition screwed up me big time in Hag's Adept - I was either getting almost no hooks or all four killed themselves on the first/second hook. Having all the gens done and having one survivor escape is not crucial - I got my Legion Adept with only 3 kills, no gens left and one open gate. But I got all 4 survivors to their death hook and used my power efficiently, even though it was my very first game as Legion %))
