Author:Kristen Update:Jan 16,2025

Mastering Headshots in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 (CoD: BO6) isn't easy, especially when aiming for Dark Matter. The sheer number of headshot challenges can feel overwhelming. This guide outlines effective strategies for racking up those headshots quickly.

The challenge of consistently landing headshots is amplified by the need to eliminate enemies efficiently. However, achieving Dark Matter demands a significant headshot count—there's no shortcut. Fortunately, these tips can streamline the process:

Embrace Hardcore Modes: Hardcore playlists are your best starting point. The one-shot-kill mechanic significantly increases your headshot efficiency. Choose a strategic camping spot, but be aware that you'll be an easy target as well. Precision is key to avoiding frustration.

Exploit Head Glitches: Certain maps in BO6, like Babylon, have notorious head glitches. These spots allow players to expose only their heads, making them easy headshot targets. Focus your efforts on these players for a rapid headshot boost. Related: Uncovering the Hidden Melodies: Black Ops 6 Zombies Music Easter Egg Guide

Utilize Headshot-Boosting Attachments: To help you reach the thousands of headshots required, BO6 offers attachments designed to assist. The CHF Barrel, when available for your weapon, increases headshot damage, albeit at the cost of increased recoil. Expect a few extra deaths, but the increased headshot rate will be worth it.

Practice Patience: Don't expect to achieve 100 headshots in a single session. This is a marathon, not a sprint. Pace yourself, focusing on completing a weapon or two at a time, taking breaks as needed. Persistence will pay off.

These strategies will significantly improve your headshot rate in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6. For further tips and tricks, check out our guide on the Nuketown mannequin Easter egg.
