Dark Matter Camo in Black Ops 6

The sheer number of headshot challenges can feel overwhelming, but these tips will expedite the process:

Embrace Hardcore Modes: The one-shot-kill mechanic in Hardcore modes is your friend. Find a strategic camping spot, hone your aim, and rack up headshots. Be mindful, though; you'll be a vulnerable target too.

Exploit Head Glitches: Maps like Babylon offer "head glitches," spots where players expose only their heads. Capitalize on these advantageous positions for easy headshots. Related: Unlocking the Hidden Melodies in Black Ops 6 Zombies: A Music Easter Egg Guide

Optimize Weapon Attachments: The CHF Barrel attachment (where available) increases headshot damage, even if it means managing higher recoil. The increased headshot efficiency often outweighs the extra deaths.

Patience is Key: Don't expect to achieve hundreds of headshots in a single session. Break it down, focus on a few weapons at a time, and take breaks to avoid burnout. Remember, Dark Matter is a long-term goal.

These strategies will significantly improve your headshot rate in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6. For more BO6 insights, check out our guide on the Nuketown mannequin Easter egg.
