How to unlock the Loner shooter achievement in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl - Definitive Guide

Get up on the tower near Zelissya and shoot the farthest entry gaurds/stalker (choose any who is visible) from there without using ADS/Scope. They usually don't move, so easy to target.
(You can use the scope to pin point the location of the stalker before shooting.)

Have your most accurate weapon, I did it with scoped AK that we get from Water Tower (Warlock's Debtor quest), without using the scope ofcourse.
It will take a few try but keep trying (buy bullets if you need then reload the game). If you see any blood then it wasn't headshot. headshots kills have a different sound and people here will die from one headshot.

you can mark the farthest entry to Zelissya on the map, it was around 86 meters from the tower.

I tried for several hours at various times, different locations (all the suggestions and more), with a variety of guns (even pistols), aiming for head or accounting for drop-off and could not get this to pop!

One thing to note was this was on Stalker difficulty and I only started to try after getting to close of the end of the main story, so were facing tougher (armored) enemies.

It wasn't until I dropped the difficulty to 'easy' while cleaning up some of the longer alternative endings and out of frustration randomly trying it on some enemies during the attack on 'Energetik Palace of Culture' ( enemies rushing across the plaza) that I got this.

Weirdly though I don't feel I was 75m away ( previously i'd marked a way point on the map to judge distance) and when it popped I don't think I had actually hit anyone for a few seconds.

So not entirely sure what happened, though i do feel that perhaps if anyone is having difficulty with this, maybe drop down to 'easy' as maybe that helps with specific damage level or at least try it at this location.

I got this at Slag Heap using clusterFvck. Stood on the crane where you meet Richter (exact spot is on top of the bird nest) then aimed at the guard on top of the building. Took about 60 shots aiming over his head.

Got this trophy on that brigde (near by the cemetary head to Janiw) in red forest with the zombies. Used the max upgraded SVU-MK S-3 from the hip....

Yes, it will take some time and is kinda luck based, because there is weapon spread, recoil and hand sway present in this game. but keep trying, it took me 3 full clips to get a headshot.
you don't need to kill him, you just need headshot. Headshot have a different audio. (but in this area people will die from one headshot.)
Don't account for bullet drop, what I did tried was to aim directly at head.

I am right on the gate guards from the tower. Must’ve hit him a dozen times and he won’t die. Even factored in bullet drop

I’ve hit the same guy (white hoodie) several times. Probably once every 10-12 bullets. He falls to the ground and gets up. I figured I’d just keep at it and eventually he’d die and cheevo would pop, but it never did. For me I tried two different guns, AK and sub machine gun. I had to aim just above the head to get a body shot. You’re right, weapon sway is killing me. I’ve been at it for an hour and no luck. Back at it later to try for a head shot. The weather sucks, when it’s dark or raining you can barely see him.

I managed to get this by climbing the tower in Zalissya almost to the top, stood to the right of the radio and shot at the group of guards at the Eastern gate. I used a Valik Lummox's AKM-74S, whose range stat slightly into the 3rd bar. It took around 30 shots to get the required hit, even with the dodgy XBox deadzone centering issues.

Tried with a SVDM-2 Sniper rifle and failed. Actually went 2 steps behind a guy and tried shooting him without using the scope and still missed. Not sure if it's a post patch issue, or just this weapon...

EDIT: Finally got it with Valik Lummox's AKM-74S. Though I did have to shoot a bunch of times and miss...

The gun jammed at 99% and I got the popup to visit a tech. After I fixed it, I managed to get it after a few shots.

Used the Marker on guards, walk 80m down the road method (and plugged in a mouse so I could aim better)

I managed to get this after a few tries in Zalissya with a VS Vintar (Fully Upgraded).

I marked on the map where some guard were and walked down the road until I was about 80m away from them. After trying a few times to shoot them without the scope I tried seeing if I could trick the game. Was able to get the achievement to pop by lining up a headshot and zooming out right after pulling the trigger. For the VS Vintar the bullet drop for a 75-80m headshot is around at the first mark on the scope. Will probably take a few tries to get the timing right but hopefully this will be easier than trying to noscope them.

This does indeed work and I managed to get it with an non-upgraded Valik Lummox's AKM-74S with the scope from the top of the tower in Zalissya, so you don't need a tricked-out rifle to get this.

I know i'm a little late to this party. i was having a hard time with this until i loaded up a new game and got to the part where i had to go to the first settlement in the game. as you go up the road you can see the three bandits harassing's the guy in the house. they only appear when you are within 80 meters of them. create a save file as soon as you can see them. if you are having trouble aiming don't worry you can always hook up a wireless mouse and also use your control at the time. at the distance that the bandits are it takes about three shots to get a kill. just rinse and repeat until you get the achievement.

An easy way to get this one is to climb the tower near Zalissya. You get up this tower as part of the Warlock’s Debtor quest, and you find a good gun up there in a stash. (See our guide on How to get a great early assault rifle in Stalker 2, for more info on this locations).

Once you’re up there, use an AK to pop one of the guards at the far entrance. Weirdly, despite the achievement description, you actually can use a scope. Once you make a headshot, the Loner Shooter achievement will then unlock.

There's a great spot in garbage during the missions "A Big Score" & "No honor among theives". A big score is received by Zakhan in Slag Heap and No horon I got from talking to Huron who's the main trader there.

At the Brood, there's a silo at back. Climb to the top and SAVE. You'll be able to see the car lot for the Big score. Dude will just be chilling in the middle of the parking lot.

I never zoomed in, just made sure the cross hair was over top his head and let them rip. First time I killed him and it didn't pop(don't think I got a head shot). Reloaded save, and got him on the second attempt after about 30 shots. I was using Valik AKM 74s with some modifications, range on gun was about 2/5.

Yellow chest in main cities that transfer your goods around, they're located in the main trading rooms in the first 2 cities, going to assume that's where they are in the others. If your late game and haven't used it yet, that's pretty crazy but id assume you have a lot of coupons or you leave a lot behind.

Do you need the kill?
Do you mean actual no ADS at all, or just no Scope Attachment?

Yes, headshots should result in a kill. If you see blood, you didn't hit him in the head.
Never use left trigger to aim, only the crosshair from the hip. I had a scope attached while firing.

Headshots dont always result in a kill, there is an audio cue that tells you if you hit the head or not, where I'm at in the story rn, many enemies take 5+ headshots to go down.
Also tried this achievement on enemies in Towers, and i was happily surprised to learn that everytime they went down after 5 headshots, they'd go back up after a hit (Duga checkpoint zone enemies)

Thank you for the answer!
I kept doing it with ADS and No Scope attached

Guess I'm still fairly early, haven't left garbage yet. Every headshot has appeared to be a kill for me so far, even with my pistol. I explore too much and am always pushing encumberment, so slow walks back to the yellow chest.

The achievement is a real pixel hunting. I had to connect a mouse to the xbox keyboard, because pixel hunting on a gamepad is not very pleasant.

I did it as follows:
Completely modified AKM-74S at the technician's cordon, then came to "Zalesie", killed any one stalker. This is necessary so that the next kill is counted as an enemy kill. Otherwise it won't work.
There is a bar in the forest, opposite which stalkers are sitting by a fire, and if you look straight at the entrance of the bar, there are two stalker guards on the right along the road. It is very convenient to kill one of them, since against the background of the road their heads can at least be distinguished from the foliage.
We put a mark on the map at the place where they are standing, turn 180 degrees and run to the tower that holds the airship. We rise on the tower to such a height from which it will be convenient to aim at the marked stalkers and without pressing RMB (LT) pixelhunt the stalker's head. I had a distance of +-83 meters. I switched the Kalash to single shots, I managed to knock him out with one shot to the head.

Knocked it out on the Terricon with the Gauss gun. Climb to the very top of the shelter. And shoot the guard at the gate. Also in the settings set the field of view (something like that) to minimum. It worked out like this the first time.
