How to unlock the Headbanger achievement in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Campaign Remastered - Definitive Guide

The easiest Spot, if u dont get it naturally during your walkthrougt, is at the beginning of "The hornet´s nest". As the Mission starts follow the path and imediately go to the right. You see a guy to your left (small starway). Shoot him in the foot and you'll see him go into Last Stand (where they are down on the floor with a pistol in their hand). Now just going close to him and throw a grenade at his head (to get the achievement). If u fail or he get killed by your teammates you can reload checkpoint and try again. The difficult doesn´t make a difference. Good Luck!

I had to put it on hardened because they kept dying, hope that helps.

Before anyone makes the same mistake as me: it's not shrapnel damage, it's literally throwing at the head.

Doesn't work. No matter the difficulty, they either die instantly or they get wounded but enough that the grenade kills.

Throughout the game when you kill enemies you'll see them go into Last Stand where they are down on the floor with a pistol in their hand. Just throw a grenade at their head to get the achievement.

While playing through on Veteran I noticed there were an absolute tonne going into final stand just after getting the right shield from the armory in the gulag mission. Mainly due to so many enemies bunching up and getting shot through their buddies. Obviously a bit harder to run up and nade them than on Recruit but just a spot that worked well for me.

Mission 7 The Hornet's Nest
Difficulty: Recruit

At the beginning of the mission, head up the hill and to the right. There is an enemy up the stairs who you can shoot in the foot and then throw a grenade at his head while he is on the ground. reload the checkpoint as needed.

Here is a video guide with English commentary!

When you kill or hurt an enemy enough they will go down into the Last Stand state, this is an ideal time to throw a grenade to their head as they have low health. If your lucky you may just get this without actively seeking it out.

During my playthrough on recruit I found the AI would finish them off before the grenade left my hand, so I got this achievement on the mission JUST LIKE OLD TIMES as towards the end there are a number of enemies with low enough health that the impact would kill them.

What also helped is going into the options and turning on the hit markers, when you kill an enemy they go red and when its a headshot the marker doubles up to show that. On a few occasions it looked like I hit them in the head but it wasn't registering.

Hi! I found a very good spot for this. Playing on Recruit, mission Just Like Old Times.

Get to the point where you have just left the cave full of explosives, there is a big bang, and Price says something like 'Since when did Shepherd care about Danger Close?'

The checkpoint should begin just as you are running down a hill into an open area, lots of debris and fire.

Crawling towards you on your left is a dying soldier, no one shooting at you. You have lots of time to line up a grenade at close range and bounce it off his head, killing him for the achievement.

If you miss or fail, simply reload checkpoint and try again. Very easy!

Thanks

Can not confirm as I already have the achievement, but I noticed on museum (recruit) the stationary guys on the walls die instantly when hit with a frag grenade. Aim for the head and see if it works! Lol

This can be unlocked in any mission. When you shoot an enemy and do not kill them, they fall to the ground in a 'downed' state. Most often they will crawl a few feet before turning over and shooting at you with a pistol. When you see this, throw a grenade with at the enemy's head. The impact from that grenade toss will kill them without it exploding. If this doesn't unlock at first, try it again on another downed enemy.
