Before you can take down the Spire Assassin, you’ll have to find them. This shouldn’t prove too difficult, as the NPC usually hangs at the map’s central Spire, so just climb all the way up to battle them.
We’ve made things a bit easier by marking the location of this NPC on the map below:
Once you come face to face with the NPC, here’s how you can defeat them:
- Jump from the Battle Bus and land right in the center of The Spire.
- Climb all the way up until the Spire Assassin spawns.
- Avoid their stealth-based attacks by kiting backwards from them, and keep your distance from their shotgun
- Land in some hits in-between dodging until the Spire Assassin is eliminated.
After they’ve been taken down, you can loot the Mythic Primal Shotgun, also known as the “Spire Assassin’s Primal Shotgun.”
