How to unlock the Men Without Hats achievement in State of Decay 2: Juggernaut Edition - Definitive Guide

To get the Men Without Hats achievement in State of Decay 2 do the following:

Some zombies wear helmets. Most commonly SWAT zombies will be seen throughout the world. Bring a gun and aim at their head. It may take a few shots but eventually their helmet will fly off. With some guns you can zoom in for better aim by clicking the right stick.

This one is a little glitchy. I've done it many times (to SWAT zombies specifically) without it popping. Once I was in a friends game, shot the hat off, he got the achievement... I didn't...

As an aside to Pluto's comment, I personally got this when (presumably) another member of my community shot a zombie's helmet off. I was inside my base grabbing supplies, and my community members were shooting zombies around base. Then the achievement popped.

Using a silenced weapon with a longer range makes this easier. The zombie will walk very slowly towards you.

I tried using a .22 pistol and it's like using a BB gun.

(Hmph, what's does BB stand for? Ball Bearings? Ballistic Bullets? "b" or "bbb"?)

I got this during a zombie siege on my base - and I didn't fire a shot. One of the other NPC community members did it, and it popped for me.

I found one in a greenhouse who was somehow stuck in a cluster of plants. Took about 10 shots with. 22 for the helmet to drop.

Apparently the shooter doesn't even need to be in your community. I got the achievement when random trader NPC's who were hanging out at one of those military checkpoint kept shooting the respawning helmet zombies lol.

An alternative solution which I found far more straight forward, was to use the .50 calibre BMG rifle on a zombie wearing a helmet. This not only shot the helmet off the zombie for the achievement, but it also left a satisfying hole where the head should be. Marvellous.

The rifle can be bought from red talon traders, found randomly in gun crates (especially around military checkpoints, bases, and outposts) or acquired as part of the quest to find the military sniper "eagle eye". Ammo is scarce, but can either be manufactured or bought

I managed to get this just using a 9mm Pistol with a suppressor attached.

I got this without really trying, but I managed to find a military zombie with a helmet on. I walked over to a fenced area and shut the fence behind the zombie so that it was stuck on the other side. Then I just spammed a load of bullets into its head until I popped the helmet off (and killed it in the process)

The strategy I recommend involves using a gun of any kind (pistol or rifle recommended) and a distraction like a firecracker or boombox.

Next, dismiss any followers you have.

Now, on the map, go to a location that has the word "Military" in its name. When, you arrive here, keep an eye out for any enemies with armor and wearing a helmet. They should spawn in military locations more often than elsewhere.

Throw your distraction to have the zombies group up, and be easy targets. Use your gun to keep shooting this zombie in the head until his helmet falls off, and the achievement will unlock.
