Got 20 Headshots Kills.

How to unlock the Sniper achievement in Damnation - Definitive Guide

You can get 20 headshots with any weapon, but I'd suggest that you use the sniper. When you find a sniper (looks like the gun on the achievement tile), pick it up by pressing on the left or right D-pad (it replaces the gun you had there, usually a shotgun or minigun).

Then, press LT to target, and RS to zoom (up to 3 times). If you play sneak, it will be easier since you'll be able to kill enemies that are standing still. Even then, the mechanics on this game are not so good, so you might miss... o_0... Don't give up!

After the 20th headshot, the achievement will pop.

There's no way you should finish your first Campaign Mode without this trophy, headshots should be your staple diet and certainly should come naturally during your campaign progression.

Should you wish to farm it and ensure it's one less thing to have on your plate then the very first set of enemies in Arrowtree are ideal for this. Before you start, use the cheat code to use a Custom Loadout and ensure you equip the Dark Seraph Rifle. Progress to the point you encounter your first enemies, a team of 5 PSI soldiers patrolling an entrance to a tower. Armed with your Sniper Rifle, carefully headshot all 5 enemies, note that 3 are at ground level whilst the other two are on platforms higher up. As soon as you down the last guy, pause and choose to Load Last Checkpoint and repeat what you just did. Providing you don't miss (and therefore blow your cover), you should also unlock Where'd You Come From? at the same time but if you do miss, then just keep reloading until it also unlocks.

Once you get the sniper rifle, just focus on taking the enemy out from a distance and you'll unlock this quite quickly. Many of the levels are large and very open, making them ideal for long-range sniping.
