Black Ops 6 upholds the tradition of Mastery Camos, offering players a range of challenges to tackle in order to showcase exclusive camos in both Multiplayer and Zombies modes. To unlock the most coveted and challenging camos, players must complete all weapon camo tasks, including those for Launchers.
Among the two available Launchers, the HE-1 is particularly challenging to master because it cannot lock onto streaks. In this guide, you’ll find the most effective strategies for using this Launcher to take down aerial Scorestreaks and successfully complete your challenges in BO6.

How to Shoot Down Aerial Scorestreaks with HE-1 Launcher in Black Ops 6
Taking down aerial Scorestreaks with the HE-1 Launcher in Black Ops 6 requires finding the right position to place the missile on each specific surface, which may take some practice and adjustment based on the type of streak you are targeting.
Since the HE-1 does not assist when aiming, you’ll need to position the missile about an inch ahead of the streak to ensure it hits at the right moment. This means you’ll need to anticipate the streak’s trajectory while it’s active, and your distance from the streak will affect your aim. This distance is typically shorter on smaller maps, making it easier to shoot them down.
The most commonly encountered streaks in the game are UAVs, Counter UAVs, and Watchdog Helos, each requiring a tailored approach for effective firing. You can also take down Scorestreaks like the HARP, Dreadnought, and Chopper Gunner. However, the Dreadnought and Chopper Gunner are player-controlled, making them more mobile and challenging to hit without a lock-on.
Watchdog Helo
The easiest of the three to shoot down is the Watchdog Helo. To successfully take it down, aim for the central surface of the helicopter. Keep in mind that it moves every few seconds, so you’ll need to anticipate its movements.
Counter UAV
The Counter UAV, while having a smaller surface area, follows a predictable path and has a reasonable missile hitbox. Position the Black Ops 6 Launcher an inch away from the streak and aim to shoot while anticipating its trajectory. Strive to make a direct shot to ensure accuracy.
UAV
The UAV presents the greatest challenge due to its small size. Its rear wing features openings that allow missiles to pass through without causing damage. To hit it effectively, apply the same strategy as with the Counter UAV: anticipate its path in a straight line and shoot when you place the launcher an inch away. Precision is key to successfully shooting down this streak.
