360 No Scope Achievement in How to Fish
Last verified August 29, 2026 · Game version 1.0.10
Achievement: “Kill a creature with a 360 no scope” — 58.1% of players have it, which tells you something nice about this game: the physics sandbox makes style kills almost unavoidable. It is still one of the first achievements people deliberately chase, and the method below turns it into a two-minute job.
The Killscore system behind it is worth learning beyond this one trophy — the full modifier table lives on our Killscore multipliers page.
The Reliable Method, Step by Step
The achievement does not care how elegant your spin looks — only that the killing shot happens from the hip, during a full rotation. That means the whole trick is removing everything else that can kill the target first:
- Pick a slow, weak target — a shore crab or similar critter that barely moves and dies to a couple of pellets. Fast targets escape mid-spin; big targets survive the window.
- Weaken it to one-shot health with normal aimed shots. If the kill lands before the spin registers, the game scores a plain kill — this is the number-one reported failure.
- Stand still and hipfire — do not touch the aim/scope button at all. No Scope requires never entering the sights.
- Spin a full 360 and let the shot go as your crosshair sweeps back across the target. With a shotgun at point-blank, pellet spread does the aiming for you.
- No pop? Repeat without changing anything except timing — most misses are “fired too early in the rotation,” per the community’s consensus on rushed attempts.
Why It Is Worth Doing More Than Once
The 360 spin is the strongest confirmed Killscore modifier in the game at 1.5x, and hipfiring adds No Scope (1.2x) on the same kill — 1.8x before anything else. Because modifiers multiply, the same creature can carry a headshot (1.25x), point blank (1.1x), and last bullet (1.25x) on top, which is exactly how players push kills past the 5x Impressive threshold. A stylishly killed catch then stacks a further cooking multiplier of up to 1.5x when you grill it — the full arithmetic is in the money guide and the Killscore table.
Weapon note
Guides converge on the shotgun for spin kills: hitscan bullets land where the crosshair points with no travel or drop, so the only forgiveness variable is spread — and nothing spreads like a shotgun. See the weapons guide for what each gun costs and where the shotgun sits in the unlock order.
Stacking It With Other Trick-Shot Achievements
Modifier achievements read the same kill event, so one well-built kill can clear several at once — community tutorials routinely combine a 360 with headshot, aerial, and longshot finishes on a single weakened target. The honest caveat: chasing two style bonuses at once is how attempts start missing, so unlock 360 No Scope first, then layer the rest one per attempt.
360 No Scope FAQ
How do I unlock the 360 no scope achievement?
Kill a creature with a shot fired during a full 360-degree rotation, without aiming down sights. The reliable setup: weaken a slow creature until one more hit kills it, stop moving, hipfire, spin a full circle, and release the shot as your crosshair sweeps back over the target.
What is a 360 no scope worth in Killscore?
The 360 spin is the highest-value confirmed modifier at 1.5x, and firing from the hip adds the No Scope modifier at 1.2x — so the combo alone multiplies a kill by 1.8x before any other bonuses. Values stack multiplicatively with headshots, point blank, and last bullet.
Which weapon and target make it easiest?
A shotgun at point-blank range against a slow, already-weakened creature. Every gun in the game is hitscan, so forgiveness comes down to pellet spread — up close, a shotgun spin lands the window far more often than a precise weapon. Small shore crabs and similar low-health critters die to one pellet even mid-spin.
Why does my 360 no scope not trigger?
Two common causes from community reports: killing the target too early (the creature died before the rotation registered, so the kill was a plain shot) and firing slightly scoped. Do not touch the aim button at all, finish the full rotation, and let the kill happen during or immediately after the spin. Rushing the shot is the most cited failure.
