Doesn’t really seem like a good design for an “achievement” if it’s mostly dictated by chance.
It really is overdone, since there are way too many factors that can screw it up.
Starting from teammates just doing their jobs by prioritizing dangerous enemies first, through problematic targeting of the skill, to the fact, that majority of specials and elites on Heresy require more than 1 shot to kill.
I tried it with randoms and gave up. I’am lucky enough to have a group of friends to roll with, so I will try it this way.
Majority of the cosmetic penances in game is just plain bad and look like they were written in hastily conducted brainstorming session.
I finally got mine. The only way is to have a pre-made and the others gotta agree to give it to you. There is no way to do this without the help (and coordination) of other people. Which is funny cause it becomes a team effort but only one dude will get the trophy.
I’ve completed the difficulty 3 penances for my psyker, but I’ve basically just given up on the difficulty 4 ones. There is simply no way. I might be able to pull off Pick n’ Mix, but it takes the perfect constellation of enemies, killed in a perfectly executed sequence without anyone simply putting a bolter round through one of them while you’re trying it.
The one where you have to solo a BoN is basically just an achievement for having 3 friends who let you try stupid stuff.
The trick is to use the feat that gives increased BB cast speed and lowers the cost after your first pop you cast your F and spam BB. Got it on high intensity heresy during a regular run by accident.
Not impossible without a group but you have to play hyper-aggressive which is pretty much the same play style to get Going Out with a Bang.
So in otherwords either have a team willing to be patient and not kill elites or… play really really hyper aggressive with BB and pray to the emperor that you get 5 elites that don’t immediately die to your team.
That being said a tip would be aggressively go for your squishys first (shotgunners, trappers, gunners, flamers) then go for your Reapers then your crushers and bulworks (reapers are a bigger threat so they tend to get focused down). Other than that the last perk 3 BB CD reduction is a must and remember that you only need to quell to 97% to not kamikaze (especially since its fixed again…for now…)
+1 this Penance is PURE TOXIC!
Which ever game designer thought it was possible should be slapped repeatedly with a rubber chicken. T_T
This is one of easier psyker penances currently in the game. Monster solo and suicide one are way more griefing.

Monster one is easy with a little co-operation from your team.
The Suicide one is also pretty simple if your team helps you out.
This one is AWFUL! q_q
Or, if there’s a trick, please share it, lol.
I wish gunners counted, but it doesn’t look like they do. 
lol, getting 4 within 12 seconds is hard enough, 5 is just SPITEFUL!
They do (at least they did a few months ago when i did it).
I do not see why they would not count, since they are elites.
Huh, the Penance says you need to kill Elites/Specialists.
According to Google
Elites:
- Rager.
- Mauler.
- Bulwark.
- Crusher.
- Reaper.
Specialists:
- Poxhound
- Scab Trapper
- Dreg Tox Flamer
- Mutant Charger
- Scab Bomber
- Scab Shotgunner
But it doesn’t look like gunners are on that list. Are they just missing?
Because if gunners count, I feel like I should have earned it twice tonight. o_o
Unless I miss counted. 
That list is garbage.
The elites section is missing the armored scab rager, both shotgunners and both gunners.
The specials section is missing the scab flamer , sniper and poxburster.
Every enemy that you can tag (= shows up in the kill feed), is either a special, elite or monster.
Good to know, thank you!
Maybe I miscounted or I just ran out of time.
UGH! Either way, I’ve been trying this Penance for a week now. lol it’s the last one I need to do.
I HATE IT!
It really is not very hard to do.
Play diff 4 or 5 on high intensity.
Diff 5 has more enemies overall, but on diff 4 you can 1 shot berserkers, flamers and poxbursters.
Using “Inner Tranquility” (less peril based on WC stacks), “Warp Battery” (more mx WC stacks) and “Kinetic Barrage” (faster BB at lower peril cost, after ult) feats should be obvious.
Make sure you are at low peril.
Kill the first enemy, then insta ult and kill the next 4 (timer starts after first kill, so the first kill does not need to be quick). This way you do not need to quell peril in between.
There frequently are groups of berserkers and gunners, which are easily big enough to do this challenge. Maybe there are a few maulers. Even on diff 4, maulers are 2 hit with BB, so you have to prep them by hitting them once, before you start killing, if you want to use them.
Of course, sometimes your teammates might take a kill, but after a few attempts you will get it no problem.
Remember that you do not need to keep looking at an enemy while it is getting brainbursted, so you can already “pre aim” at the next target while charging up the current bb.
If there are more than 5 elites around, it also helps to use the right click function of BB, which allows you to swap target without losing your charge, in case a teammate snags a kill.
Thanks for the tips.
I appreciate it. 
U do first bb without your ult. After u killed 1 - timer starts. Next u proceed to kill 4 more after ulting.
So far the only penance that take me lots of time was “going with a bang” that one is real pain for a solo player such as myself, most of the team team reject to cooperate or i was just unlucky…
P.s. IMHO psyker has hardest penances in the game.
