I was killed about 9 times by an elite in AC Odyssey (PC) because I am only lvl 14 and they were 21. Skull over the head don't mean nuthin, I finally killed him after luring away from the outpost and then sinking over 120 arrows in his face.
I took a look at the rail and noticed that the two last pins were soldered for some reason, luckly I still had the rail of my broken joycon so after I swapped them I was able to use it attached to the console
