(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); I apologize for the repost if this has already been covered, I've been off the grid for a couple of weeks without internet.

Since all I have to do lately is play BO2, I was pulling my hair out without being able to play online. I'm attempting to unlock diamond pistols, so I played a lot of custom matches against helpless bots to practice my headshots. I also studied the spread of the Executioner and familiarized myself with different ranges, so I'll know how close I need to be before I unload to get a headshot.

*again, this is fucking groundbreaking news to me, as I only need headshots with the Executioner and I've been working on it almost as long as the other pistols took all together. If this was obvious, flame away...cuz I sure missed this before*

Trying on the different attachments, long barrel is useless if you're trying to get headshots. Dual weilding gives you the benefit of having 10 shots before you have to reload, and gives you a built in fast mag. But it takes away your ability to ADS, which shouldn't matter because the spread hypothetically will be the same. In actuality though, ADS reduces your spread down to damn near the size of your head.

Then I tried the laser sight, and the clouds parted. With the laser sight attachment, you just decreased your buckshot spread by at least 50% when hipfiring. After learning this I came out of a single game (GRANTED it was against helpless bots) of FFA with 30 kills and at least half of them were headshots. Let's just say the rest of the headshots were cake, so I can throw back on my dual weilding attachment and stomp FFA games.


For the camo's requiring headshots, I found playing Hardcore TDM was the fastest
Perk 1: Perk 1 Greed, Lightweight, Ghost 3pts
Perk 2: Scavenger 1pt
Perk 3: Dexterity 1pt
Secondary: Executioner 1pt
Attachments: Secondary Gunfighter, Laser Sight, Fast Mag 3pts
Tactical: Shock Charge 1pt

And then there's always FFA for the rest of the camo's...
Perk 1: Perk 1 Greed, Lightweight, Ghost 3pts
Perk 2: Scavenger 1pt
Perk 3: Perk 3 Greed, Extreme Conditioning, Dexterity 3pts
Secondary: Executioner 1pt
Attachments: Dual Wield 1pt
Tactical: Shock Charge 1pt


I hope this helps people out there, although I'm sure almost all of you breezed through the pistols already lol. It took me a very long time to become proficient playing only using a pistol, and a lot of research. There wasn't a whole lot of useful information on the Executioner, so maybe this will have more of us rocking diamonds X_X

Wrong Section, but this is really helpfull. Thanks.

Very helpful

Damn, I guess I drank more than I thought... I meant to put this in the lounge lmao. Can someone move it??

No. I'm still going at it, and it's still painfully painfully slow; but this did help me a LOT.



Thanks bro

Nice thread. Great class setups and helps alot!

Will try this out thanks.
