Easy Ways to Earn the Headshot Honcho

One easy way is on The Ark, at the beginning with the Sniper Rifle as the enemies do not know you are there unless you attract their attention. Just snipe all the enemies in the head. Also, don't be afraid to waste a shot on a Grunt with the Sniper Rifle to get this achievement, as Grunts do count for the achievement.

Another way is to play Tsavo Highway up to the second outside area (the two Shades near the pump station) there are many Jackal Snipers in this area. Kill one and pick off all of the Grunts. There are enough Grunts and Jackals here to earn the achievement.

Another easy way to earn this achievement is in the level Sierra 117, in the last part of the level. You can find the Sniper Rifle where the Pelican crash site is. The achievement can also be unlocked with the Beam Rifle. This achievement doesn't have to be done without dying, so if you don't have enough ammo, you can commit suicide and make the missing headshots. This achievement can be done on Easy.

Turning on the Grunt Birthday Party Skull will help things. When you get headshots on Grunts, the children cheer sounds will make it easier to know if you hit your target, and the small explosions will sometimes momentarily blind nearby grunts causing them to raise up their arms and stagger slowly around making it much easier to hit them.
