Author : Mila Update : Mar 13,2025

Unlocking Dark Matter camo in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 (CoD: BO6) requires a serious headshot grind. The sheer number of challenges, heavily reliant on headshots, can feel daunting. But don't worry, we've got some strategies to make this less of a chore.

How to Easily Get Headshots in Black Ops 6

Landing consistent headshots while under pressure is challenging. The pursuit of Dark Matter demands a significant headshot count, but thankfully, there are ways to expedite the process. Here are some tips to conquer those Military Camo challenges:

  • Embrace Hardcore Modes: The one-shot-kill mechanic in Hardcore modes is your best friend. Find a strategic camping spot, hone your aim, and prepare for intense encounters. While this approach requires precision, the payoff is significantly faster headshot accumulation.

  • Exploit Head Glitches: Certain maps, like Babylon, feature "head glitches"—locations where players expose only their heads. Targeting these vulnerable players provides a consistent stream of headshots.

  • Utilize Headshot-Friendly Attachments: The CHF Barrel attachment, when available, significantly boosts headshot damage, although it increases recoil. While you might experience more deaths, the increased headshot efficiency makes it worthwhile.

  • Practice Patience: Don't expect to achieve 100 headshots in a single match. Dark Matter is a marathon, not a sprint. Pace yourself, focus on completing a weapon or two at a time, and take breaks as needed.

These strategies will significantly improve your headshot rate in CoD: BO6. Good luck, and happy hunting!

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is available now on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
