Best Ways to Get Headshots in Black Ops 6 (BO6)

Mastering Headshots in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 (CoD: BO6) – Your Guide to Dark Matter

Unlocking Dark Matter in BO6 requires a serious headshot grind. This guide outlines effective strategies to quickly complete those challenging headshot requirements.

The challenge of consistently landing headshots is amplified by the pressure of enemy fire. Here's how to maximize your headshot count:

Prioritize Hardcore Modes: The one-shot-kill mechanic in Hardcore modes makes this the ideal starting point. Find a strategic camping spot, but be mindful of your own vulnerability. Precision is key!

Exploit Head Glitches: Maps like Babylon offer "head glitches," where players expose only their heads. Targeting these players provides an easy path to racking up headshots. Related: Uncovering the Hidden Melodies: Black Ops 6 Zombies Music Easter Egg Guide

Optimize Weapon Attachments: The CHF Barrel attachment (where available) significantly boosts headshot damage, although it increases recoil. The trade-off is worth it for the increased headshot efficiency, even if it means a few extra deaths.

Embrace Patience: Don't expect to achieve hundreds of headshots in a single session. Focus on completing one or two weapons per gaming session, taking breaks as needed. Remember, Dark Matter is a marathon, not a sprint.
