Super
Earn an S rank or higher in any scene

An S-Rank is earned by a lot of factors, but the following ones are the most important:
– Accuracy
– Rhythm
– Amount of enemies killed
– Don’t get hit

As you kill enemies you can score points by doing so to the beat (Rhythm). The game has an autoaim of some sorts, but it is also important to aim at the bodymass of your opponents, as explained in the tutorial.

The track “Another Day” in the alternative mode called “Scroungin’ for roses” should provide you with enough opportunity to earn an S-rank. The enemies don’t shoot back, allowing you to focus on aiming and the beat. Do note that you need to pistol whip (melee) enemies in order to reload!

You are free to earn an S-rank on any map of your picking! Refer to the video below if you are having trouble.

Sharpshooter
Finish any scene on Hard while using “Proper Legacy” (Pistol Deadeye) style

No need to move like a maniac in your room. The track called “2089 The Way Home” is a great pick because of its many pistol whip opportunities, allowing you to restore armor in case you get hit.

Tapered
Earn an accuracy rating of 90% or higher in any scene (“Classic” style only)
