You Can Damage Any Ice Legion Enemy

Damaging any of the Ice Legion monsters with Shotguns or SMGs will progress the challenge. Using Shotguns or SMGs to damage the Ice Shard, however, will not.

Can Be Done Across Multiple Matches

This challenge is not single match-restricted and can be completed by players across different games. Challenge progress will not reset after every match.

Tips to Complete the Challenge

Look for Ice Shards

The Ice Legion monsters will only spawn from the Ice Shards so the first thing to do is locate one. It's pretty easy to spot since it's a towering shard of ice!

Don't Destroy the Ice Shard Immediately

Continuously farm for monsters by not destroying the Ice Shard yet. It will spawn monsters you can damage as long as it is still stands so use that to your advantage.

Kite The Enemies By Running Around

In order for you to easily deal damage to enemies, run around the area to make them follow you. This will give you clear shots, with your Shotgun and SMGs!
