Mastering Headshots in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 (CoD: BO6)

Unlocking Dark Matter in BO6 demands a significant headshot count. This guide outlines effective strategies for quickly completing those challenging camo grinds.

Prioritize Hardcore Modes: The one-shot-kill mechanic in Hardcore modes makes this the ideal starting point. Secure a strategic camping position and focus on precise aim. Be aware, though, that you'll be a vulnerable target.

Exploit Head Glitches: Maps like Babylon offer "head glitches"—locations where players expose only their heads. Targeting these players provides a significant headshot advantage. Related: Uncovering Hidden Melodies: Black Ops 6 Zombies Music Easter Egg Guide

Utilize Headshot-Boosting Attachments: The CHF Barrel attachment (where available) significantly increases headshot damage, albeit at the cost of increased recoil. While it might lead to more deaths, the increased headshot efficiency makes it worthwhile.

Embrace Patience: Don't expect to rack up hundreds of headshots in a single session. Dark Matter is a long-term pursuit. Focus on completing a weapon or two per session, and spread the grind across multiple gaming days.

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.
