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.

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.

*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.

Headshot Honcho is a Halo 3 achievement originally awarded for scoring ten headshot kills with a Sniper Rifle or a Beam Rifle in a ranked free-for-all Matchmaking 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 Brutes or Jackals. Grunts do not count.

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.[1][2]

Recommendations[edit]

  • At the start of The Ark, scoring ten headshot kills should be relatively easy, as the Covenant forces are initially unaware of the player's presence.
  • 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.

Trivia[edit]

  • Headshot Honcho is related to the phrase "Head Honcho", which means the boss, the chief, number one, etc.
