Overview
Hand to Hand is a Triumph that asks you to defeat 20 combatants with close-range weapons without dying. The eligible weapon types are Sidearms, Submachine Guns, Shotguns, Glaives and Swords. It was added in Season 22.
How to complete
- Equip one or more close-range weapon types from the list above.
- Get 20 kills with them in any activity.
- Stay alive for the whole requirement. The objective is written as "without dying," so a death ends the attempt.
You can switch between the eligible weapon types during the run. Any kill with one of the listed types counts toward the 20.
Tips
- The requirement names no activity or enemy type, so any combat you already play can contribute kills.
- Players reported in 2018 that kills with abilities did not count toward close-range triumphs, and that melee kills did not register for one player. Those reports predate current systems.
