An achievement made up of 2 parts.
1: Get 20 double-kills with the dropshot
2: Get 3 headshots with the dropshop
Double-kills
It's possible in both competitive and vs. AI. I would definitely recommend "vs. AI" and that you fill a lobby with five people you know or with extra controllers. Then the other players can down enemies. When a second enemy comes to rescue the downed enemy, then down him as well. Then you'll have 2 enemies huddled together. Shoot them - get the double kill.
Rinse and repeat
Headshots
The absolute best way to get this is to do it when the enemy is in cover. It's much easier to hit a non-moving target :) I found Old Town to be the best map to do this on. In many cases you'll have the upper hand because of the height difference in the map. It made for some good clear shots :)
Maps where the Dropshot can be found
Avalanche (after avalanche), Clocktower, Dam, Dawn, Fallout, Forge Blitz, Foundation, Glory, Harbor, Hotel, Impact Dark, Lift, Lift Apex, Old Town, The Slab
If someone, at some point in time, can't figure out why it won't pop, i've included the specific requirements in my Trackertool at https://xbltracker.com/

I was really struggling to get headshots and loaded up a hardcore Co-op vs a i game in the hope to get some ring breaks for the latest achievements and my first two shots (already had one) in this mode were headshots.
Just an idea for anyone who is struggling

If your having problems getting headshots.
Versus Co-op vs AI Difficulty Casual. KOTH.
Once you pickup your Dropshot... Lancer down 1 Swarm Drone, wait until his buddy tries to revive him and fire a Dropshot into the center of them while they attempt to revive. Doing this will get you headshots 25% of the shots.
This is much easier running around with a friend and have them doing the Lancering.

Just a quick note, for some reason if you get a headshot after you have already the 3 needed and then the double kill (because it takes a few seconds to explode) dont count as a double kill and the tracker dont go up, idk if this just happen to me or for everyone

@JafethTheXtreme. Yes, I had this too.
Unlocked this now but strangely for me it popped and I have been awarded the achievement under Recent achievements, but my tracker still says unlocked and is stuck at 68% on my Xbox. Ha!
