Pin Cushion — Get shot 25 times by a Nailgun
One of the fastest-certifying tasks: take Nailgun hits, 25 of them.
Requirement
Get shot 25 times by a Nailgun. Getting hit by friendly or enemy Nailgun fire—the platform text does not differentiate a source. There is no counter cutoff stated: hits across many sessions have not been confirmed.
Why it usually unlocks fast
Among Steam tracked players this is one of the most commonly unlocked tasks in the whole set: in a four-player crew, beans shoot each other basically constantly. The easy approach in a crew is to stand in the line of practice shots between builds and let the count tick up. It is also a natural consequence of nail gun chaos.
Solo route: not verified
No reliable solo method is documented for the current build (self-hits do not appear in any published report). If you play solo, this task may wait until you are in a crew — do not follow made-up fixes.
Watch for
Whether a hit kills you does not matter: only hits count. Dying to a Nailgun blast mid-Job is a classic game classic accidents; see the revive system for how to get a downed Bean back.
