This quest requires you to get up close and deal damage by using any pistol or revolver. The rarer ther gun the better to make sure you can get this as quickly as possible.

You can try and do this organically in royale game modes but if you want to get this out the way there are a couple of other ways you can complete this quest.

The first one is to go after the hostile NPCs around the island as damaging these count towards any 'deal damage' type quest. These are generally easier to take down than normal players and they have much more health, which is very good for this quest. The NPCs you should look out for is the Spire Assassin located at The Spire, the spire guardians at any of the guardian outposts, Blackheart, Zenith or Raptor.

The second is to go into the team rumble game mode. Grab yourself a decent pistol or revolver and drop in close to the enemy team and hope you can get some shots off before you are eliminated. Rinse and repeat.
