๐ŸŽฏ How to Fish Trick Shots Guide

360 no-scopes, long-range hits and airborne kills stack a Killscore multiplier that raises the sell price of your catch โ€” the single biggest income lever in the game.

Quick Answer: What Is Killscore?

Killscore is the pricing multiplier system for skillful kills: the official description says skillful kills increase the money earned from kills. Single tricks land between about 1.2x and 1.5x, and combinations stack to 5x and beyond. Killscore is separate from the grill's 1.5x cooking bonus โ€” they apply in sequence.

  • The "Impressive" achievement unlocks at a 5x Killscore.
  • The "360 no scope" achievement unlocks for a 360 kill without aiming.
  • Multipliers are player-tested references, not an official formula โ€” the in-game display is the truth.

How Combinations Stack

  • 360 + No Scope + One Shot stacks into a higher combined multiplier.
  • Aerial + 360 + Headshot and similar chains can reach or exceed 5x.
  • Multipliers do not simply add up โ€” check the in-game display for the exact result.
  • Killscore and the grill's 1.5x are separate systems applied in sequence.

How to Practice Trick Shots Safely

The wiki-recommended practice routine, safe for you and profitable for the run.

  • Choose a weak ordinary creature โ€” never a boss.
  • Reduce its health until one hit will finish it.
  • Move to an open area so obstacles cannot interrupt the maneuver.
  • Perform the trick move (rotation, jump, and so on).
  • Land the final blow and check the multiplier feedback; if it fails, switch targets and retry.

360 No Scope, Step by Step

  • Lower the target's health to near death.
  • Move to open ground.
  • Stay hip-fire โ€” do not use the scope.
  • Complete a full 360ยฐ rotation (use landmarks to confirm the full circle).
  • Fire immediately after the rotation, without aiming, to finish the kill.

๐Ÿ’ก Bosses are thick-skinned and fast โ€” practicing on them wastes baits and healing. Weak fish are the practice range.

Weapon Choice for Trick Shots

  • SMG / Uzi: sustained fire for moving and airborne targets, the usual practice weapon.
  • Sniper: long-range technique kills (Longshot) and aerial targets.
  • Dynamite: the 1.5x Explosion multiplier, though explosives reduce some item prices โ€” offset it with cooking.
  • Skins do not affect trick performance; attachments and ammo upgrades do.
