Hey guys its when the new dlc was released,  
I was really excited for the mosin infantry and wanted it really bad but i just so frustrated about the 3 smle headshots requirement.  
I’m using xbox and i know i have a little bit aim assist but the issue is when u aim on an enemy, it only locks at the body and i cant move it higher or i’ll loose the target and i know i cant change the aim assist. I’m not really complaining about the little aim assist but it’s quite difficult to finish the requirement on console. Any tips or tricks? Or should i go sneak enemies? And which map is the best to do it? Pls tell.

Buy getting a PC. With the mouse you can even choose where to hit the guy. In between the eyes, lower lip or left ear…

On a serious note, never played console but on PC i find it very easely to join a tdm match on Sinai or Suez. Its full of snipers standing still on the roofs there just get the marksman variant of a gun (sniper variant glint) and take your time with the headshot.

Hump a hill with a sniper shield…

If the mission allows you to use a smle carbine then do so. Put the reticle on red dot and play passive aggressive. The heads will roll

I did mine on Conquest in Suez. I think Suez is perfect. Aim for snipers that are prone of just above the sand dune on C flag. So many heads sticking out there.

This. I also turn the magnification all the way up to “cut centers” like Sgt. York.

Or play operstions. Gives you long games and shots counts for the whole match. I’m on Xbox and I had no problem doing it, ads didn’t mess it up either. You can still aim after snap on kicks in you know

I understand. But I remembered that the requirement is to get three headshots with smle infantry to unlock the mosin. And that was really the problem here, the aim assist just makes me go crazy cus I somehow need to use it to get on target but it only locks the body and cannot pull to the head. Make me crazy. Thanks for the advice too!

Oh yeah, it did have to be infantry. In that case, in Operations, try to sneak around the flank of the attackers to get a shot on a guy hunched over his mortar tube. There’s a lot of those right now and they’re pretty easy to head shoot. Prone hill humpers too.

I presume you have actually turned Aim Assist off?

Turn off auto rotation and keep slow down in the potions, this will allow you to acquire targets and move your reticle more freely.

I did mine on a Hardcore server, worked a lot better and was a nice change of pace too.

Just turn auto rotation off, You can get hs with it too but thr snap surely make it harder.

If you can’t get 3 hs then your aim is probably not very good, so try working on it and keep your aim at head height.

I just do Sinai desert on conquest. If you’re coming from A flag side, go up to D flag and sit back just a bit by the city and hug the walls. No one ever goes there or thinks to look there for sniper fire.

Frontline mode is usually the best for this kind of stuff… match duration is long and fight is concentrated I had 10 headshots the other day on Soissons but I was using another rifle with scope
