"Stab him in the face with bullets until it stops being funny"[]

Dart type guns both don't work and blow the 'but not in the' parts. Shot him in the face with an acid dart (because it happened to be what I had in my hand) and the darts hung in one place in midair as he flailed around. When they exploded, all the 'but not in the' unchecked, and he was complaining that it wasn't his face repeatedly as the acid DOT ticked. --Azaram (talk) 09:25, August 1, 2013 (UTC)

I had a similar issue when using a shock-type pistol (Rubi, to be precise). The first shot exploded in an electric burst, instantly failing all of the "but not in the" objectives. Despite hitting him in the face, the mission did not complete, either.

Complete the mission without shooting him in the face[]

Shooting Mr. McShooty in the side and the back of the head will complete the mission. Looks like any critical hit completes it. TapSiLogMACHINE (talk) 10:34, September 5, 2014 (UTC)
