'''Headshot Honcho''' is a ''[[Halo 3]]'' [[achievement]] originally awarded for scoring ten [[head Shot|headshot]] kills with a [[Sniper rifle|Sniper Rifle]] or a [[Type-50 particle beam rifle|Beam Rifle]] in a ranked free-for-all [[Matchmaking]] [[matchmaking#Playlists|playlist]] match or in [[Campaign]]. It may be done on any difficulty in Campaign. The achievement is worth 5 [[Gamerscore]] and is represented by black crosshairs with a sad face in the middle. This achievement is only attainable through 10 headshots on [[Jiralhanae|Brutes]] or [[Kig-yar|Jackals]]. [[Unggoy|Grunts]] do not count.


'''Headshot Honcho''' is a [[Halo 3]] [[multiplayer]] achievement. It is awarded for killing 10 enemies with [[headshot]]s using the sniper rifle or beam rifle in a ranked free for all playlist, or in [[campaign]].
Following the shutdown of [[Xbox 360]] ''Halo'' online services on January 13, [[2022]], this achievement is no longer attainable in online multiplayer, and therefore can only be unlocked in the campaign.{{Ref/Site|Id=shutdown2|D=23|M=1|Y=2022|URL=https://www.windowscentral.com/halo-xbox-360-servers-have-been-shut-down2021|Site=Windows Central|Page=Halo Xbox 360 servers have been shut down, ending an era}}{{Ref/Site|Id=shutdown1|D=01|M=6|Y=2020|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/sunsetting-halo-xbox-360-game-services-in-2021|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Sunsetting Halo Xbox 360 Game Services in 2021}}
 
It is represented by a black crosshairs with a frowney in the middle.
 
An easy way to do this is to go to the beginning of ''[[The Ark (Level)|The Ark]]'' where you start with a sniper and just snipe all the enemies in the head.
 
== Easy Way to Earn the Headshot Honcho==
 
Also, if you betray your [[Marines]], they will also count as a headshot kill if you shoot them as well, since they have become your enemies. One easy way to earn this achievement doing this is on the level, ''[[The Ark (Level)|The Ark]]''. Reach the point where you have to open the light bridge for the Marines, Scorpions, Warthogs, and occasionally Prowlers to pass. Instead of opening the bridge right away, snipe off a few of the Warthog's gunners. That way, the Marines will start shooting you and plus there'll be no Warthog gunners killing you. From here, shoot the Warthog/Prowler's drivers and passengers. Kill off the Scorpion's gunners if needed. When you have earned the Achievement, light the bridge and continue on with the mission. The [[Marines]] ''outside'' of the building won't mind what you did earlier.
 
Another way of getting this acheivment, easily, is putting campaign on normal, using a battle rifle , zooming in, and shooting grunts in the head, putting on the Grunt's birthday party skull helps you see if you got a headshot.

*[[Halo 3 Achievements]]
==Recommendations==
*At the start of [[The Ark (level)|The Ark]], scoring ten headshot kills should be relatively easy, as the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] forces are initially unaware of the player's presence.


*On [[Tsavo Highway]], at the second outside area (with two [[Shade]]s), there are several [[Kig-yar Sniper|Jackal Snipers]]. A player can kill one, take its [[Type-50 particle beam rifle|Beam Rifle]], and snipe the Jackals or Brutes in the area.


*On [[Sierra 117]], a Sniper Rifle can be obtained at the crashed [[Pelican]]. It can later be used at the last part of the level, where there are more than enough enemies.
