Hi, I was wondering how to go about getting a great score in the tutorial for firearms because the greatest score I can seem to get is 93. What do I have to do to get the optional mission that the others offer?

You shoot the targets that pop up as you move between training courses, right? I think if you do that, and try to get through the whole course as quickly as you can your score will be higher.

Also, obviously, don't miss. xD I got my score lowered a little for missing apparently, which I don't know how I did.

I did the same and got a high score of 93. I still can't unlock that particular optional mission however. The only place it seems I have misses is with the assault rifle but that's because it fires in bursts.

Tips to get a better score : Critical hits & Multiples kill

With the shotgun, if you charge up (precision shot) and wait to hit the last two in the back when they are one behind each others. You'll get a critical hit AND a multiple kill bonus

Hope it help

Just scored a 209 on the course. Definately because of critical hits, you get 5 points for every critical hit. I think I had 27. Best places to get them I found are the shotgun and ar stages.

I managed to somehow get passed this part although I cannot tell what I did differently - thanks for the replies.

as far as I can tell in the training/orientation if you score 100+ you get a bonus mission to do.

On Mina's tactical range as long as you do not miss and get a semi good time it should be possible to get 100+

Even 103 will get you Mina's bonus mission

I tried 5 times on my Spy char, never got better than 96. Didn't know then that there were optional missions as the only one I ended up with was Darcy's and I didn't realize it was due to a high score.

Second char I started was a "Recruit" and with 0 skills all the way down I managed to score well over 100 on Darcy's and Parker's courses and managed a 103 on Mina's. That 209 seems a bit reaching to me tho 'cause if you take the time to line up 27 critical hits, I would think your score for the time taken would be very low... I'll have to start a new char so I can run thru the weapons course again and try that out.

Oh and BTW, only take the time to line up the 2-target shot with the Shotgun once, you only get one "Multiple Target Bonus" or whatever it's called, and who knows, the time it takes to line up that shot might still end up costing you more points on time than the 5 points you get for doing it. Gonna have to test that out one day.

Oh and the fact that my recruit got 103 on the first try in the Tactical Range... seems a bit strange when my Spy got 96 after 5 tries and I was hauling butt thru that course. Spy was able to the hit the pistol targets with crits quickly, but seems like because I had points in Pistol and not in the other weapons that the other weapons were less steady and less accurate. Dunno, it's all a bit strange.

But shooting Darcy is fun.
