Precision shot

Precision shot

Get 10 headshots with the Cycler Rifle (Multiplayer)

How to unlock the Precision shot achievement in STAR WARS Battlefront - Definitive Guide

First you need to get to level 28 before you can buy the Cyber Rifle. It costs 3100 Credits which shouldnt be an issue at level 28.

After that just make sure to equip it in your hand and get headshots. Best advice is to stay back and take your time aiming. It will be a one shot kill with a headshot


Added note:

After actually getting the achievement now, I found drop zone to be the best way. Just hide with a view of the pod and when they go for it just shoot. They will stop for a moment so it gives you time to aim

Is this like other games where you can pick it up off a dead person who had it?

No. You have to have the card for it to use it.

Just to let people know, since the beta version they have made the cycler rifle a bag of shit. its Its not long range at all and its useless close range. Buy the gun to do the cheevo but do not upgrade, the pulse rifle is 100 times better

Must agree that this gun is a giant pile of shit now. Is it just me, or does it actually have bullet drop? Only reason to explain getting a headshot without a kill.

I can confirm this does have drop. I was so frustrated until I figured out you just have to aim slightly above the head at a distance. As soon as I started doing that I got it in about 4 matches of drop zone.

The latest patch reduced some of the bullet drop making it bit easier.

Also just a note if your partner has its unlocked you can use their hand to get the achievement without unlocking the gun yourself.

This requires DLC but I have been having success using the stun grenade and then getting the head shots. It gives you about 3 or for seconds to aim.

Another way I've found success with this is to play on Walker Assault, get behind enemy lines (Hoth was pretty easy to do this on) and then headshot guys on blaster cannons. They're so focused on that I had plenty of time to aim and get headshots.

Just in case anyone else like me was looking under... COLLECT/UNLOCKS/BLASTERS the Cycler Rifle is under STAR CARDS.

Concur with Samwich, I just got the achievement and while it wasn't too hard, I should've gotten it a lot earlier but for some reason point blank headshots from long distance aren't always instakills. Shit gun, glad it was only 10 headshots and not 25.

@ Big Killa C

I have noticed that the gun does have "bullet drop" if you are trying to shoot someone across the map. I have scoped in on an enemy that I had flanked and I noticed that I didn't get a headshot kill with it. I swear gravity was real in the game and my shot fell short numerous times.

I too will be happy once I get my last couple of kills and never have to use this garbage gun again...

Cycler Rifle is unlock at rank 28,it cost 3100 credits.

I actually get the achievement in the Blast Mode (Team Deathmatch),
My method is using Trait Cards Scout to disappear from the radar and give your enemy a surprise attack,
because the Cycler Rifle is not a good long-range weapon,
You will need more time to aim and get the headshot.
(Trait Cards Scout is available at rank 15,Cost:7000 credits)

The Cycler Rifle will become available at Rank 28 & costs around 3,100 credits I think.

Equip this into your hand and head off into a multiplayer mode, I recommend Drop Zone or Cargo because players will be standing still to activate/deactivate pods, & to collect cargo.

The rifle is really powerful and will be a one shot kill if you can get a head shot. The trick is to bide your time and wait for the shot, I found I had an itchy finger trigger at first and panicked and always missed my shot.

Just take your time, try and wait until the enemy is busy picking up cargo or interacting with a drop pod and then let 'em have it!

You'll get a message show up on the left side of the screen when your score for killing a player pops up and you'll get a headshot bonus, this shows that it was a success and will count towards your ten.

I was dreading this trophy on the basis that it's one of the rarest ones in the list but I had it after a few games and about 20 minutes so it's not difficult.

Hit ten headshots and the pop is yours.

Good luck!

I want to add that if you get a head shot from quite a long distance that it only really takes 90 of their health off so you want to be a little close to them.

Oh really? I wasn't aware of this, I guess I was always a little closer with my shots. Nice addition though.

Lmao! Nah I'm sure you're right, I probably just chose to get as close as possible to make sure I got an easier shot without realising!

Another way of getting a cycler rifle, if you haven't reached rank 28 yet, is to use your partners star card hand. You can choose it before you go back into a fight after you died or before the match starts. Most of the time they will not have a cycler, but if they have one and you are after this trophy, use it!

Here's another tip that people often forget, or just plain don't realise. The cycler rifle is able to penetrate personal shields. So those guys that shield up before running in and grabbing a pod/droid/cargo/whatever are still just as vulnerable to a nicely timed headshot.

Firstly you need to be rank 28 to purchase this card at a cost of 3,100 credits.

I found this easiest playing Drop Zone. Once your team has the pod sit somewhere reasonably far back but close enough you can see most of the pod.

A member of the opposing team will try to capture it and most will usually sit still for this. If they use a personal shield the rifle shot penetrates this so it will be an easy headshot on an unsuspecting victim. This will also help with the achievement for killing 10 enemies whilst they are capturing your pod.
