Regardless of the weapon you choose, if it can secure a kill with a single bullet, you’ll get the One Shot Kill Medal.

The One Shot Kill Medal is usually associated with camo and daily challenges. For example, the Chaparral Special Camo for the LR 7.62 sniper rifle requires you to get 30 One Shot Kills after unlocking all the Military Camos.

Effective ways to get One Shot Kills

Using weapons with very significant damage, such as shotguns, marksman rifles, and sniper rifles, allows you to get One Shot Kills more consistently.

Choose engagement distances that match your weapon. Shotguns work best at close range, while snipers excel from a distance. Control the distance with map positioning and movement to ensure your shots are deadly.

Aim to get headshots, as these deliver the most damage, often leading to eliminations with one well-placed shot. Practice precise aiming and consider using attachments that enhance headshot multiplier.
