    The most easiest spot to get this achievement is in the mission "The Last Array" as the whole mission is pretty much fighting the HIVE.
    It's also a great mission to do as you will have to kill waves of HIVE enemy's which include a boat load of thrall which are very weak.

    Incase you are unsure of what precision shots are, it's another name for headshot :)

    Note: if you have any issues unlocking the achievements for this game, press start, go to settings, log out (switch profile) and then log back in. It seems to be a quick fix for most people including myself for unlocking the glitchy achievements in Destiny

    CHARLIEkradRight so for anyone else it said i has nil precision kills so i logged out like in the solution and logged back in and then they popped.

    The SharkopathI was worried for a minute because the achievement didn't pop for me. I knew it was glitched and about the method you said to fix it. However, it said I had 103 kills or so and 0 precision kills. I didn't understand this because most of my kills were indeed headshots. After I completed the mission and did the "sign out, log back in" method, the achievement popped. Good guide.

    These do not have to be done "on mission". I was on patrol in Russia where the Hive are fighting the Kell. I was just doing the green beeping missions and not dying and it popped.

    ScuzzyBunny says in the comments:

    "As for location, I did Cosmodrome Patrol, then headed through the building where the wizard "boss battle" occurred in the story mode. When you get back outside there is a helipad on the right side, and a Hive "nest" across the way."

    Probably a good place to get the Bane of the Kell precision shot achievement too.

    ScuzzyBunnySame here...and best of all it pops as soon as you hit 25 precision kills and doesn't even need to be in an active patrol mission (I made my way to a beacon, killing some on the way, then when the mission was active I was counting kills and it popped at 12, so my earlier one's counted as well).

    As for location, I did Cosmodrome Patrol, then headed through the building where the wizard "boss battle" occurred in the story mode. When you get back outside there is a helipad on the right side, and a Hive "nest" across the way.

    Tao LogosYes., that is a good spot. I'll add it to the solution. It's a quick spawn and easy precision shots

    Here is my video contribution. I did this on 'The World's Grave' on the moon. I'd suggest a Scout Rifle for this but other weapons like the Hand-cannon, Auto Rifle and Pulse Rifle will do fine.

    Hope this helps!

    Also; for those having trouble unlocking glitchy achievement do this:

    Press the Menu button RB over to settings, highlight Log Out and choose Switch Profile (not Change Character). This will take you back to the game start screen, and once you press A, it will ask you to choose your Xbox Live profile.

    Choose your profile and then choose your character from the character select screen. Any achievements that should have been unlocked will then unlock.

    *Cheers to FLEEBS & ludo10109 for the info
