Why am I going against Apex Predators?

Oh and 4k damage badges require a bit of luck or damage farming. I have a 3k and I killed everything I saw, there was no way I could have hit 4k if I had wanted to. I ran out of people to kill/farm damage off. 

There are ways you can give yourself a better chance at it, hang around high traffic areas and cross sections of the map. But even still it can be hard to find enough people to hit 4,000 damage. 

Another option is to farm damage with a sniper but that's risky business because you runt he risk of running out of cells/batts. Anytime I have a replicator and 170+ materials plus ring advantage I try and farm damage with a sniper looking for that 4k.
