Any Means Necessary challenge

Has anybody even attempted this yet? I think I’m going to save this one for dead last. Not only do I have to use one of the lamest perks available, but I actually have to stun the killer with that specific pallet? Holy sheet. Pass.

    I haven't attempted it yet, but planned to drop a pallet right after spawning, then reset it and hope it'll stay until I can try to stun the killer with it.

    I did it, was killed a bunch while trying, but I got it done. Killers can break the pallet as you're trying to lift it so that added an additional annoyance to the challenge.

    Edit* Nevermind thought it was the first any means necessary where you had to reset near killer. I'm not even going to bother with this one.

    Lol. Yeah that first challenge was ridiculous enough. This one is a veritable Hail Mary, especially going against red rank killers. I’ve already bypassed it and got to the end of part 3, so I’ll circle around and do all of the others first. Then, when they’re all done I’ll choose this one and play as normally as I can with this useless perk and hope Lady Luck visits me sooner rather than later.

    I used The Game offering for this one since that map is god pallet galore.

    I already know that I’m going to have to stand there and take the hit before dropping the pallet but I hate using that tactic because half of the time it doesn’t work. They’ll either hit me and go through me somehow missing the stun, or instead of dropping the pallet I start healing myself, or maybe the prompt doesn’t even come up at all. Or the killer is carrying one down add-on I’m unaware of, or I get stuck playing against Huntress 9 games in a row. Something usually goes wrong, lol.

    its easy, but youll pretty much have to throw the game to complete the challenge. go somewhere and drop a pallet, pick it up, wait till the killer comes to you, and then just make sure you get the stun off

    I'm gonna try it this week. I plan to throw a pallet somewhere I can hide in the start of the game, reset it and camp it, hoping the stun when the killer come to check the notification out. And praying it will work. I guess like this I can throw the game a little less to get it accomplished. But let's see what happens. I hate these kind of challenges.

    Im just going to drop a pallet, pick it up then lead the killer to it and force him to hit me and drop it on him.

    Pretty easy just have to hope you don't get an insta down or ranged killer.

  • Alice_pbg
    Alice_pbg Member Posts: 6,556

    basically my plan.

    but I would also add OoO and have the killer come kill me while I wait in the pallet. and trade a hit for the pallet stun

  • Sir_capsAlot

    I just said F it and camped the pallet I picked up and didn't care if I took the hit or not as long as I got the stun

    Yeah honestly if you want to just brute force the challenge, drop a pallet, reset it then brute-force a stun by camping it

    The killer can't hit you and avoid getting stunned at the same time unless they are a ranged killer

    (Make sure you're healthy when you do this though)

  • CountVampyr
    CountVampyr Member Posts: 1,050

    Oh, it’s been known to happen. I’ve had killers hit me at a pallet and then go right through me to avoid the stun altogether. Magic!

  • TheMadCat
    TheMadCat Member Posts: 2,203

    Exactly. I feel guilty, but all I did, during the two matches it took me to get it, was dropping a pallet early and camp it until the Killer came to me.

    I feel guilty because I didn't help my team. But I was like, let's get this done as soon as possible. 😭

    It’s stupid easy. How it did it... match loaded on LERY’S and I’m in the most predictable spot. Immediately drop and pallet and pick it up. As I finished Oni turned the curve swinging, dropped the pallet.


    done.

    I threw a game trying to get the any means necessary challenge in section 2 of the archive. (I'm sure the killer was like "######### is this Kate doing?). This one seems like you should just throw a pallet early, then wait by it and hope the killer comes your way and stun them with it. If I see someone doing that, I'll just assume that's what they're doing and let them stun me. Hopefully they'll appreciate it and go work on totems or something.

    Went to the game spawned on god pallet instantly dropped it and picked it up. Then when killer came i waited for them to m1 then stun them then lithed over the pallet and noped away.

  • Kirkylad
    Kirkylad Member Posts: 1,927

    i just dropped and reset a couple at the beginning and then looped the killer there to get it.

    If you don't mind getting injured you can just do one if you're healthy and in chase and the killer will hit you but you can just drop it on them then. It's risky but at least you can just get it done and move on.

    Tried it twice last night. First round it was Pyramid Head and true to form when he hit me he went right through me missing the pallet. Subsequent attempts were fruitless because of his ranged attack. Second round was Myers who just stood there and stared at me as expected. Turned out he was running unlimited Tier 3 too. Figures.

    Got first game I tried. Just drop and pick up pallets as you go about your business in the game. When you end up in a chase steer them toward the pallets you've dropped.

    Shack is a really solid location for this for obvious reasons. Just make sure you loop the killer a couple of times so they don't have their defences up when they approach the pallet.

    Run Object and drop the shack pallet. The Killer will come running from across the map

    Take it from me, some challenges are just not worth the effort.

  • Dwight_Fairfield
    Dwight_Fairfield Member Posts: 7,082

    I got it on my first try. Its actually not that difficult. Just drop a few good pallets and reset them. That way you are likely to get a stun with at least one of them.

  • CountVampyr
    CountVampyr Member Posts: 1,050

    Third round: Leatherface. He just revved his chainsaw to get ready to destroy it whenever he got close to a pallet. No dice.

    As I expected this challenge was going to be annoying.

  • CountVampyr
    CountVampyr Member Posts: 1,050

    Fourth round: Huntress.

    Oh great, another ranged killer, I thought as I heard her lullaby. But lol, it wasn’t even 45 seconds into the match before she came up from behind me and literally struck me the exact second I righted the pallet which allowed me to get the stun!

  • Seanzu

    I got it first game, drop pallet at the start of the trial, vault it once or twice, then start resetting it was you hear the heartbeat.

    My daughter did it on her first try. I was impressed. I haven't made the attempt yet.

  • CountVampyr
    CountVampyr Member Posts: 1,050

    For those of you that got it first try, which killer did you get?

  • My_Aespa
    My_Aespa Member Posts: 545

    Was very easy actually since you don't have to reset it while in a chase, I dropped it at the beginning, immediately reset it, hid behind it before the killer came, and then surprised them with it 😋

    Funny enough, a Blight and he was rank 5 :)

    They just don't see it coming I guess lol

  • rglarson13
    rglarson13 Member Posts: 206

    I got it by dropping that pallet right away, standing it back up, then going through a window to get the killer's attention. Stunned him right away as soon as he came around the corner.

    I felt like a dick, but at least I got the challenge.

    Rank 1 nurse. I had reset 3 pallets and just got her mid blink.

    Start the game. Go to a safe pallet. Drop it. Lift it. Wait for the killer to come. Drop it in his face. Done.

  • CakeDuty
    CakeDuty Member Posts: 1,001

    I got it first try, it's not really so hard if you're willing to be a bit toxic and embarrass yourself.

    Spawn in and drop a pallet, vault it until you hear the killer coming towards you, then pick up pallet. Camp the pallet and get hit and then drop it on the killer.

  • CountVampyr
    CountVampyr Member Posts: 1,050

    In theory, no it isn’t difficult. In practice though against red rank killers with ranged abilities they definitely aren’t guaranteed. You’re going to have far more luck against hag, trapper, twins, blight, and pig than you will against PH, Slinger, Huntress. And the trick of taking a hit to guarantee a stun won’t work against Leatherface or Myers unless they are total noobs.
