A ranged weapon is considered anything that shoots bullets or projectiles. So, in essence, you need to defeat an opponent with a melee weapon. There are little workarounds to make this go more smoothly, however. One trick is to utilize a ranged weapon to chip away at your opponent’s health, then drop it, and finish them off with your pickaxe. Better yet is if you use the Shockwave Hammer, which deals a lot of damage and is great for moving around with ease.

Another tip is to attempt to defeat an AFK enemy at the start of a match. Even if the enemy isn’t actually AFK, you can immediately begin attacking them without a pickaxe right at the start of a match before they can grab a weapon (as shown in the video above).

It’s unknown if you can complete this quest by simply finishing off a downed opponent with your melee weapon, but it’s worth a try. Worst case scenario, you’ll need to get lucky right at the start of a match, which shouldn’t take you too long.
