When aiming for kills, a sniper's goal is nearly always to score a headshot. A headshot, when scored with a Sniper Rifle or Beam Rifle, is instantly fatal (unless the opponent has some form of additional protection, such as an [[Overshield]]). Multiple consecutive headshots from Carbines and Battle Rifles are not instantly fatal, but will bring a target down faster. In reality and in ''Halo'', a sniper's motto is "one shot, one kill."

However, ''all'' headshot-capable weapons (even the magnum) kill in just ''one'' headshot, provided that the opponent's shields are down, or the shot is enough to penetrate the enemy's shields.
