Longest long shot badge?

I’ve got 1145/300. Just wondering how far someone’s actually knocked someone from.

I'm sorry to say that the badge is now meaningless, because it is bugged. Pretty much everyone who has played a moderate amount with Valkyrie has it. It's too bad. I've got a fake one, for a higher distance than I am likely to ever best.

@pandareno1999 I’m one of the lucky few who actually got the badge early one before the valk glitch. If memory serves me right I either got it in season 4 or 5. I had a completely unkitted sentinel with just a 1x red dot sight. I was on Kings Canyon, near where cage was but I was more toward where the outlook by caustics treatment side, saw a distant four way fight going on, just behind cage and decided to let a shot off, down someone for 17 from 711 metres off. Idc that it was a kill steal, still can’t believe I hit it with just red dot.

Sounds like a nice shot!! People don't give enough credit to HCOG snipers/marksmen. Especially off drop - though the irons are fairly good on their own. When I choose a longer range loadout in TDM or control, I'll frequently use the default optic it comes with, but immediately put it in my inventory and just use the iron sights for most encounters (or use the 1X sight from a shotgun if that's how the weapons are paired up, as I mostly prefer iron sight shotguns). Then I've got the longer-ranged sight if I want it later.
