How to Fish 360 No Scope: Achievement Guide
The 360 no scope achievement sounds like a streamer clip — and it is. Here's exactly how to unlock it, the mistakes that ruin the attempt, and a free way to drill the timing first.
What the achievement asks for
The unlock condition is simple to read and easy to botch:
All four parts must happen in one kill: the fish has to be airborne, you must spin a full 360° with your gun drawn, and the killing shot must behip fire — no aiming down sights. This medal also stacks into the 5x "Impressive" killscore combo, so it's worth learning properly, not just for the achievement.
Step-by-step
- Pick an easy fish. Community guides recommend Mackerel(Island 2, Free Lure) or Flying Fish (Island 4, Professional Lure) — they launch into slow, readable arcs. Check theFish Finder for bait and location.
- Launch it. Reel hard to yank the fish out of the water. The fish must die in the air — a ground kill never counts.
- Swap to your gun mid-air. The rod is the launch platform; the gun does the work. Do the swap the moment the fish clears the surface.
- Do the full 360. Gun out, complete one full spin — cutting the spin short is the second most common fail after scoping.
- Hip fire. Shoot without scoping. If your muscle memory reaches for the scope, rebind or practice unscoped in theTrick Shot Simulator first.
Common mistakes
- Scoping out of habit — the single biggest fail. Unbind the scope key for the attempt if you must.
- Shooting too early — the fish has to be airborne. Don't fire during the reel.
- Short spin — a 180° flick looks cool but doesn't count. Complete the rotation.
- Wrong fish — fast, low-arc fish make the timing brutal. Start with mackerel or flying fish.
- Doing it in a tight spot — rocks and the boat can eat your rotation. Practice in open water.

The hard part isn't aiming — it's the launch → swap → spin → hip-fire rhythm. Drill it with our free fan-made Trick Shot Simulator before burning bait in-game:
