    You're best bet to get this is by going into the Majestic Team DLC and voting for SWAT. I got this achievement on my first SWAT game because a lot of people will be zooming in trying to get headshots across the map. Just sneak up on them and assassinate them. Of course this will require some luck too.

    Edit: It seems on modes other than SWAT, a large amount of people use close combat rifles because they are effective on the DLC maps. People don't usually go into zoom mode while using these rifles. In SWAT, people are obviously made to use long range rifles which have a useful zoom mode.

    NahzarioDown to get all the dlc achievements before servers shut down. I have 2 other controllers to help fill the lobby and will help others with their achievements too. Message me on Xbox so we can coordinate a time. GT: Nahzario

    Obtain this by holding down the melee button(Right bumper for me), when behind an enemy who is in zoom mode.

    I found it difficult to find players in zoom mode, but I discovered that this achievement can be boosted with just 1 partner (or even by yourself with two controllers), thanks to the FFA playlist.

    Just coordinate to meet up somewhere, have one player enter zoom mode, and then have the other player assassinate them. Easy.

    After many long boosting sessions, I was finally able to unlock the DLC map pack achievements. Thanks to the servers’ instability, these achievements took a very long time, as I dealt with my connection dropping multiple times – sometimes after a few games, after one game, after simply searching for a game, or even after just entering War Games. They are absolutely TERRIBLE, by far one of the hardest achievements for me to acquire simply because of dropout. And the sad thing is that, as has been mentioned on the site here many times, you only need to complete one or two games in each map pack for ALL of the map pack's achievements to pop! Because of this server difficulty, and because I haven’t seen too much info regarding what maps are in each playlist, I thought I would share some of my experiences with you all.

    - First thing I’d recommend is DON’T WAIT! The servers are supposed to shut down sometime after December 18, 2021, but don’t let that fool you. Stable games are tough to obtain here, so don’t wait until the last minute to do these. There are many good people on this fine site who are looking to get these achievements too. Join or create some sessions!

    - Secondly make sure you all are on the same generation of hardware. Xbox 360 and Xbox One/Series X/S systems don’t talk to each too well and result in a LOT of disconnects. Coordinate this before you play.

    - Also any extra controllers that you can use as guests come in very handy. As has been said here and also determined from the people I’ve had sessions with, the fewer systems accessing the servers the better, and could add to overall stability. Whatever amount of boosting partners you have in your sessions make sure the controller combinations you and your friends are using add up to the minimum required number. Don’t have extras as that will cause problems matchmaking. Plus you minimize the chances of random players happening upon your sessions!

    - Using the chat feature on the Xbox app is a good substitute for a headset and may also contribute to stability.

    - Also I haven’t noticed region affecting this much, so friends from different parts of the world playing together should be ok.

    Since the DLC playlists are gone I had to find the playlists during my sessions. Here’s what I recommend:

    >Crimson DLC Pack (Harvest, Shatter, Wreckage): Capture the Flag (minimum 8 people). I was able to get a Crimson map rather quickly.

    >Majestic DLC Pack (Landfall, Monolith, Skyline): Team Doubles (minimum 4 people). The Skyline map came up for me rather often. I also saw Majestic maps in Capture the Flag and Team Objective regularly.

    >Castle DLC Packs (Daybreak, Outcast Perdition): I was able to get this on Team Objective (minimum 8 people).

    I can’t stress enough how difficult the servers are for this game, so if you want to get these achievements I’d recommend joining or creating sessions as soon as you can. I can also help you boost if I’m able to. Just drop me a message! And if you happen to disagree with anything I’m saying here, before slamming that downvote button, reach out to me and tell me why. If it’s something I can add to it I will. Good luck out there!
