How to unlock the Bane of the Emperor achievement in Destiny - Definitive Guide
If found I could snipe the cabal with a Sniper Rifle & Hand-cannon for easy headshots in the same corridor. Just lure them foreword and poke your head out briefly if you need them back.
They have relatively large heads so they shouldn't be a problem to hit, but some will be using shields. For them just shoot their arm, and they will stagger, revealing their head for 2-3 seconds.
Pick the first difficulty option if the enemies are hard to kill, and try doing this at about lvl 16 at minimum.
Hope this helps guys!
Also, here's a handy video guide I made
Also; for those having trouble unlocking glitchy achievement do this:
Press the Menu button RB over to settings, highlight Log Out and choose Switch Profile (not Change Character). This will take you back to the game start screen, and once you press A, it will ask you to choose your Xbox Live profile.
Choose your profile and then choose your character from the character select screen. Any achievements that should have been unlocked will then unlock.
*Cheers to FLEEBS & ludo10109 for the info
Hope they fix it soon.
The same trick applies here. Shoot the enemies in the head, (a little harder with the enemies with the shield). While you have to be in a mission (and not patrolling) you do not have to be in the mission area, if you're having problems doing it during a mission, just find some cabal, head shot those you can, drive away for a bit, come back and they should respawn, and you can kill them again. You do not need to be in a mission only area, just on the way to the mission.
A precision shot is essentially a critical hit, and in this instance requires a killing blow by headshot. If successful the enemy's head will disappear as a wisp of smoke escapes from their body. Cabal enemies are found exclusively on Mars. This can be obtained during any story mission, or while doing a Patrol session. Probably best done with a Hunter using its sniper rifle, both for ease of the headshot itself and for keeping your distance so you won't get killed.
Precision kills on the Cabal require shooting at their tiny turtle-like heads. Legionaries and Psions will be the easiest to kill with precision shots. This will unlock during the mission, so you don’t have to go through the whole thing without dying. Scout rifles, hand cannons, and sniper rifles are the best weapons to use.
The following missions are the ones in which the Cabal appear. Exclusion Zone may be the best to do this, but this can also be done in Patrol missions.
Possible Missions:
Mars:

The Garden’s Spire
The Buried City
Dreadnaught:

Enemy of My Enemy
