Any Difficulty

Marked For Death

For this one you’ll need to hit 4 shots during Volley Fire without missing, on an enemies weak spot while holding down right click and without missing.

Easiest way to achieve this is on the Beast of Nurgle as it is slow and has a large weak spot on its back. If you are using an automatic weapon you should shoot individual shots to make sure you don’t miss.

Long Bomb

You need to hit 5 enemies with a grenade explosion before it hits the ground or a wall for this one. Look for a map with long hallways or where you are above a group of enemies and hold left click and aim for the sky to get a large arc. This one might take a while to get, using the perk to regen grenades every minute can give you an advantage.

Malice Difficulty

On Overwatch

This one says you need to not take any melee damage. You can get hit by melee, you just cannot take any health damage from melee.

IF YOU GET HIT AT FULL TOUGHNESS YOU DO NOT FAIL THE PENANCE. I’ve read that damage from the Pox Hound and Mutant do not count but cannot confirm this myself.

One In the Chamber

Kill 5 enemies with the last round in your clip on one mission. If you are having trouble try using a low magazine count weapon with high damage like the stub revolver or shotgun.

Heresy Difficulty

Make Every Shot Count

The hardest penance, hands down. Doing this without cheating it is a pain and not fun for you or your team. If you are determined to try it get some friends to coordinate with. You need to end the mission with no ammo and 100% accuracy. Low ammo count weapons are your best bet here, stub revolver or shotgun, plasma gun can be good if you use charged shots to waste a lot of ammo. Keep in mind you naturally have a higher ammo count as a veteran and that elite kills give you ammo.

Your best choice is to cheat this one. Get to the end of a mission and shoot all your ammo until you have one bullet left. Then alt-f4 out of the game and reconnect while having your team wait to extract. hit an enemy that is not an elite with your final shot and GTFO.Deadeye

Get a kill with weak spot hits on 5 enemies in one use of Volley Fire. It’s best to be level 30 for this, all level 30 perks refresh your Volley Fire on highlighted enemies.

Counterfire is the best choice for this as it also causes regular shooters to become designated targets. Wait until a big group of shooters show up (they come in packs of about 6-7 on this difficulty) and aim for those headshots. Best Weapons for this will be stub revolver or single shot lasgun.
