Successfully securing headshot kills in Black Ops 6 requires aiming at the enemy’s head as soon as you engage, ensuring that you eliminate them before they have a chance to retaliate. While this might sound straightforward, consistently landing headshots in Multiplayer takes practice, along with some helpful techniques to improve efficiency.

Use Optics & Customize Your Reticle

An effective way to increase headshot accuracy is by equipping an Optic that you find comfortable. While not everyone prefers a magnified Optic, these can be excellent for long-range shots, keeping you out of reach from enemy attacks.

Alternatively, you can opt for a classic red-dot sight to improve consistency with headshots. Keep in mind that Black Ops 6 allows you to customize your reticle, so choose one that helps you easily locate and target enemies.

Get the Advantage With a Clear Line of Sight

Holding a clear line of sight and waiting for distant enemies is an effective strategy for landing headshots. You gain an advantage by positioning your crosshairs on the enemy’s head before they see you.

This tactic works especially well when you’re behind a head glitch, making it even harder for enemies to counter you.

Play Hardcore Mode

Playing Hardcore mode can either simplify things or turn into a frustrating challenge. In this mode, you can kill enemies with a single headshot, but since all weapons kill in one shot, you’re equally vulnerable to enemy fire.

Equip the CHF Barrel in Your Loadouts

When aiming for numerous headshots per weapon, it’s essential to maximize the advantages provided by attachments, with the CHF Barrel being especially valuable due to its increased headshot multiplier.

This attachment significantly boosts damage when shots land on the head, making it easier to consistently achieve kills by reducing the number of headshots needed to eliminate an enemy effectively.

Practice in Firing Range & Training Course

Finally, make the most of the Firing Range and its new features, like stationary and mobile dummies, to practice precise headshot placement by aligning your crosshairs effectively. You can also use the Training Course to refine your skills in dynamic movement and headshot accuracy within scenarios that closely mimic actual Multiplayer matches.

These strategies should help you secure headshots more consistently, enabling faster progression through Black Ops 6’s camo challenges.
