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 seem daunting. Here's how to efficiently rack up those Headshots.

Conquering the Military Camo challenges requires a strategic approach. Here are some key tactics:

Embrace Hardcore Modes: The one-shot-kill mechanic in Hardcore modes is your friend. Find a strategic camping spot, hone your aim, and prepare for intense encounters. The increased risk is offset by the significantly faster Headshot accumulation.

Exploit Head Glitches: Maps like Babylon offer "head glitches"—locations where players expose only their heads. Focusing on these vulnerable targets dramatically increases your Headshot count. Related: Uncovering the Hidden Melodies: Black Ops 6 Zombies Music Easter Egg Guide

Utilize Headshot-Boosting Attachments: The CHF Barrel attachment (where available) significantly boosts headshot damage, despite increasing recoil. The trade-off is worth it for the increased efficiency. Expect a few extra deaths, but the gains outweigh the losses.

Patience is Key: Don't expect to complete all your Headshot requirements in a single session. Dark Matter is a long-term pursuit. Focus on completing one or two weapons per session, taking breaks as needed.

These strategies will significantly speed up your progress towards Dark Matter. For more CoD: BO6 insights, check out our guide on the Nuketown mannequin Easter egg.
