Ok, am I the only one who thinks the blazing sun time limit for this one should easily be 2.5x - 3x longer? 1:05 -- pretty much a minute -- for getting 4 shell walker crates is just nuts

It's one of the hardest missions by far and has absolutely nothing to do with stealth.
Charge in, blow everything up, and grab the loot.

Having the Tearblaster is a big help.

just did that one today, tearblast a couple walkers to knock off the boxes and that'll give you 2 boxes to pick up while still having 2 free ones just sitting on the ground to grab

and you did it in 1:05 time?

It's possible. Just forgo everything else. Find crate, loot crate, move on. Safety is a distant second. It also helps to know where the Walkers roam.

But are you playing on ultra hard? Stalker cannon or swipe is taking 3/4 of my health the shell walkers can be quite deadly too upclose, so foregoing safety isn't really an option. The best attempt I had was using corruption arrows on a stalker to distract him + watchers. Going to leave blazing sun on this one for later when I am more leveled up...

And yes I know it's possible, and I'm aware of the main strategies of using tearblasters + trying to grab the crates that are already on the ground (thank, you guys for the help though) but I still am of the opinion the time should be much longer than it is since the task to time ratio seems really skewed compared to all other hunting trials, that's all I was trying to express...

Impressive, good to know there is hope for getting those Lodge Weapons

I agree that the time should be longer, but only in that the mission should require you to remain undetected the whole time. The entire premise of that hunting ground is to stealthily take out your targets, not sprint through the area while exploding things in your way.

Think I pretty much sprinted to the group on the left since you can get there before they pick up crates, then all that's left is to run over to the other group (with lots of dodge rolls if you hear a Stalker shooting) and do whatever it takes to loot them ASAP.

It's one of the dumbest trials imaginable for a 'stealth' lodge...

I managed to win Sleight of Crate by using a Nora Stealth outfit and going to the right, grabbing the loot, then hightailing it to the left.

haven't tried that task yet, but I'd be trying to override a stalker asap and let it do its thing

A) Waste of time. B) That doesn't help you in getting the crates.

Yeah, it's seems really unorthodox that the stealth trial requires you to speedrun loot 4 shell walker caches in just 1:05, with stealth being optional (if not discouraged). Now if it was 1-2 and you needed to remain undetected, then that'd make more sense.

I struggled so freaking bad with this one (has absolutely nothing to do with stealth, so wtf), but I found out that 2-3 loot containers can actually spawn in the middle so the easiest way to do this stupid trial is to get those, then blast a container off a Shell-Walker. You just need to try to get them with everything and their mother trying to kill you lol. Managed to do it with 1 second to spare, just absolutely obnoxious.
