A Marksman medal is awarded for getting 6 headshot kills with a Sniper Rifle in one life. For each of the Battlefront 2 medals, you can only get one per life, so you will need to throw a thermal detonator at the ground and walk over it to reset the medals each time. This was always the second hardest for me after Demolition medals, sniping in Battlefront sucks.
Aiming with a Sniper Rifle is very stiff and very loose at the same time, I was never good at aiming it back in the day, and still am not now. However I did find that it was slightly easier to aim when I was crouched.
You will need 4 medals to get to Veteran status, 32 to get to Elite status, and 64 to get to Legendary status.
Once you get to Elite status, the requirements for getting the medal drop by 25%. So the last 32 medals of this achievement will mean that you need 4 headshot kills with a Sniper Rifle in one life (yes I know that 2/6 isn't 25%, that's just how it works)
Something very important to note is that you CANNOT quit the match you are in. You must complete the game, victory or defeat, for your medals to count to your career stats. You could in theory knock out all 64 medals for legendary in one match if you set all AI to 0 per match then quit if you just want the achievement, but then you won't have the permanent unlock at the start of each match. I'd recommend doing it in small chunks at a time. In that case, if the AI is set to 0, just go around and cap all command posts so the game will end, and it will add the medals to your career total.
Method 1
Plug in a second controller to play splitscreen. Load up any map of you choosing, and set enemy AI to 0. Camp near any enemy command post (but don't get so close that you start capping it) and just keep on sniping the guest account til you get the medal. Unfortunately, there is a bug associated, where you do have to wait a solid 20-30 seconds before you can respawn with the default sniper again, and you could go for a Gunslinger medal too while waiting the time out. Don't remember this ever being a thing in the original version of this game, having to wait for medals to reset. This will be your fastest way to get the medals.
Method 2
If you don't have a second controller, there is a decent alternative. Load up the Kashyyyk map, play as the CIS, spawn in on command post 2 (it's the one further up the map on the right). Sprint forward a bit, then zoom in on the left. You'll see a big walkway where the Clones will come down from. If you are zoomed in near the rock where the walkway starts on the ground, a few Clones will have tendency to just stand there for a bit, making for easy headshots. This only works for the early stages of the game, as the AI will finally start to move around from that spot. I normally get a Marksman medal pretty quickly. While waiting out the time to reset the medal upon respawning, I do like to change to an engineer class and get a Technician medal from slicing into an enemy tank. It's usually at this point where your team will capture command post 3 (where you sniped enemies walking down earlier), and the enemy AI will almost always never take it back. To further get Marksman medals, keep around command post 2, and aim towards the gate blocking off the last command post. Clones and Wookies have a tendency to stand in front of the gate, making for some easy headshots as well. Additionally, you can get fairly easy headshots from enemies who man the turrets at the top of the gate house. Since this is Kashyyyk, you'll also get endless enemy Wookie spawns, making so that you will have more enemies to kill. Keep resetting 30ish seconds after the medal, and rinse and repeat til the match is over, or you get legendary status. Since my aim isn't spectacular with a Sniper Rifle, I was maybe getting 4-5 Marksman medals per match this way.

This is a bit of a mixture of previous guides, but it worked relatively quick for me while providingat least some fun compared to a boring grind!
Play through the campaign on elite (lower criteria for each medal) while using cheats (they won't void the achievements as previous posters already pointed out).
I usually chose to start as the scout to get the Markman and Gunslinger medals, after that I got to a flag and changed to engineer for the Regulator and - if possible - the Mechanic medals, then I changed to normal trooper to finish it of with the Frenzy medal. On the way while going through the those kills I easily got the medals Endurance, Guardian and War Hero. After all this I respawned through the menu and repeated the process until I was down to 1 or 2 (just to be safe) tickets. Then I completed the next objective to get more tickets and started the same process all over.
NOW:
I got some medals until I reached Mustafar, at that point I found the fastest way to earn the above mentioned medals (around 30-40 per round).
Do the same method as mentioned above. After capturing the first objective some of your AI will get stuck in the conference room shortly before entering the first objective. From this point on, you will have around ten tickets to use (that means around 9 spawns/medals). When your at 2 tickets, capture the next objective on the other side of the two bridges crossing the lava, there you will get another 20+ tickets and if your lucky (worked the three times I tried) you will be able to use all the tickets for your boosting. Just run towards the next objective (the one at the beginning of the big ramp) without capturing and get the kills needed. Sometimes the enemies will run to the other side of the objective, simply cross it as fast as possible and kill them while they're piling up at a door. You can also get "kills" by destroying the auto turrets (doesn't work for Marksman medal because of the headshots needed). When down to 2 tickets capture the next objective and go on as mentioned above.
Sadly the game crashed on me on one run, but I was able to get all the medals above up to over 64 in two runs!
To recap:
- difficulty Elite
- use cheats
- campaign mission on Mustafar
- play needed classes and respawn until two tickets left
- capture next objective and repeat this method
- after the first objective most of your AI will get stuck so you can use most of the provided tickes for this
-> the best point to grind is right after the second objective (the one on the other side of the bridges over the lava pit)
Have fun!
I hope this guide will help you avoid a totally boring grind!!
