1. Always Maximize Your Aim Settings First
Before jumping into the grind, dial in your sensitivity and aim assist settings.
What helps most:
-
Lower your ADS sensitivity for steadier aim.
-
Turn on “Aim Assist Standard” for controllers.
-
Adjust your deadzones so your stick movement is precise.
-
Use the sharpest FOV you’re comfortable with (110–120 recommended).
Small changes here can mean dozens more headshots per hour.
2. Use Attachments That Boost Accuracy
For headshots, the goal is simple: make your gun kick less and aim tighter.
Equip:
-
Precision optics (1.5x–2.5x)
-
Recoil control barrels
-
Stabilizing grips
-
Reduced sway stocks
-
High-velocity ammo (if available)
Skip attachments that boost speed at the cost of accuracy, you want consistency, not flash.
3. Play the Right Modes
Some modes are perfect for farming headshots because enemies appear in predictable patterns.
Best modes for fast headshots:
-
Hardcore modes → One bullet to the head = instant kill
-
Domination → Enemy heads peek over cover at flags
-
Kill Confirmed → Players rush tags, giving you clean shots
-
Tight small-map playlists (Shipment-style, Chaos, Sweaty Moshpit, etc.)
If BO7 has a small-map playlist active, live in it until you’re done.
4. Aim Higher Than You Think
COD characters bob, strafe, and crouch constantly, so aim slightly above the chest rather than directly at the head.
This creates a “headshot funnel," recoil naturally pulls your gun into the head hitbox.
🔥 Final Tip: Stick With One Gun Until It’s Done
Headshot challenges go fastest when your muscle memory locks into a single weapon's recoil pattern. Finish one gun at a time, then move on.
🎉 Wrap-Up
Completing headshot challenges quickly is all about a mix of:
-
Clean aim
-
Smart map positioning
-
The right modes
-
Gunsmith setups built for accuracy
Follow these steps and you’ll knock out headshot requirements dramatically faster, unlocking camos and weapon mastery with way less frustration.
