Nightingale features a lot of content for players to enjoy, as not only is it your classic survival game experience, with crafting, scavenging, and exploration at the forefront, but it also has some unique features such as the Realm portals and more.

In the game, you’ll meet different NPCs that will task you with unique quests. Once you have a gun, Reeve’s quest, “Take Aim and Shoot,” will require you to get Headshots and Heartshots on enemies.

Now, most will be familiar with Headshots, especially if you’ve played other shooters. However, Heartshots aren’t as common, so for those wondering how to get them, here’s everything you need to know.

Nightingale: What are Heartshots & how to get them

Heartshots in Nightingale are quite literally shots to the heart of an enemy. To get Heartshots, all you need to do is aim for the middle of the enemy’s chest, more specifically, the left side of the chest.

These can be quite difficult to get in Nightingale, as you’ll need to be accurate and find the right opportunity to get Heartshots.

Best way to get Heartshots in Nightingale

The easiest way to get Heartshots in Nightingale is by catching enemies while they’re spawning, as this will give you some time to aim in the right area while they are at a standstill. It’s also easier to aim for the heart when enemies are running straight towards you.

We recommend using the Puzzle Cores, as if you get them wrong, enemies will spawn, making it a great way to farm Heartshots.
