How far is "Far Away"?

I have the Overwatch challenge which requires me to save a teamates life from far away 3 times. As stupid as it is to have this as a challenge on 343s part, I can’t seem to get any kind of saviour medal even in BTB.

Anybody have an idea as how far away I need to be and which medal progresses the challenge. I really hate these “challenges” that are purely luck based. It’s already bad enough that there’s playlist specific challenges. :roll_eyes:

The distance is less of an issue than being able to tell when a teammate has popped shields and is about to die, before sniping the person killing them, and preventing their death. I sat in BTB camping for a couple hours just to do it once. Never again. I’ll skip it every time now. Such an enormous waste of time. Idk why 343 would even make that a challenge.

“Far away” apparently is the distance from BR to Commando spawn on Recharge. I swear I have more Guardian Angels on Recharge than I do in BTB.

Yep. Insta-skip for me, although, if I have it at the top of my list, I might wait till Friday before using the skip. Usually I’m good for 1 GA per week. But it’s an awful challenge.

Would be nice if the weapons’ scopes featured rangefinders.

Am I incorrect for remembering that some iterations did?

I remember at least one of them having a rangefinder on the weopons that didn’t have scopes. I want to say it was H4, but I’m not a hundy p.
