Here's how to efficiently rack up those headshots:

Prioritize Hardcore Modes: The one-shot kill mechanic in Hardcore modes makes every shot count. Find a strategic camping spot, but be aware that you'll be a vulnerable target as well. Accuracy is paramount.

Exploit Head Glitches: Certain maps, like Babylon, have notorious head glitches. Players often expose only their heads, providing easy headshot opportunities. Focus your fire on these vulnerable targets. Related: Uncovering the Hidden Melodies: Black Ops 6 Zombies Music Easter Egg Guide

Utilize Headshot-Boosting Attachments: The CHF Barrel attachment, if available for your weapon, significantly increases headshot damage. While it increases recoil, the increased headshot damage makes it worthwhile for efficient camo grinding. Expect a few extra deaths, but the payoff is substantial.

Embrace Patience: Don't expect to achieve hundreds of headshots in a single session. Dark Matter is a long-term grind. Focus on completing a weapon or two at a time, taking breaks as needed. It's a marathon, not a sprint.
