Unlocking Dark Matter in CoD: BO6 requires a significant number of headshots, presenting a formidable challenge. This guide outlines effective strategies to expedite the process.

Hardcore Mode Domination: Hardcore playlists are your best bet. The one-hit-kill mechanic significantly increases your headshot efficiency. Choose strategic camping spots, but be mindful of your own vulnerability.
Exploit Map Weaknesses: Certain maps, such as Babylon, have "head glitches"—locations where players expose only their heads. Focusing on these vulnerable targets dramatically increases your headshot rate. Related: Uncovering the Hidden Melodies: Black Ops 6 Zombies Music Easter Egg Guide
Optimize Weapon Attachments: Utilize the CHF Barrel attachment whenever available. While increasing recoil, it boosts headshot damage, making each shot count. Expect increased deaths, but the payoff is substantial.
Embrace Patience: Don't expect to complete this challenge in a single session. Focus on completing a weapon or two per session, taking breaks as needed. Remember, Dark Matter is an endurance test, not a race.
