How to unlock the Headhunter achievement

    To get this achievement, you'll need to be in the Dark Zone, and have to LAND THE KILLING SHOT on a yellow (elite) enemy that has a name. I have found two named yellow characters in the first area DZ01, the first one likes to hang out by the blockade (north) with his other yellow buddies. The second (which is much easier to land the killing shot because most people don't go down there) is in the Subway near the Greeley Square underground entrance. Be aware you need a Level four filter to go down in the subway. Both of these elites are level 12, and I suggest being around that level with decent firepower or they'll wreck you if you are not careful.

    As a side note, I was in a team with someone and we took the subway guy down together, he landed the killing shot, I did not get the achievement until I came back later and killed him by myself.

    EDIT: If you go above the level 15, the first area will scale with your level every so often and the yellows will be higher level as well.

    mcnichojReally great guide. The only question I have left is; does the game have any in-game tracker for showing who you killed?
    I'm guessing for the tier two achievement for this where you have to kill ten of them they have to be all different named enemies.

    I know this game is lousy when it comes to showing you have and haven't done. Maybe the achievement tracker percentage goes up?

    PBreezeyI've noticed that named elites seem to spawn primarily on named Landmarks. For instance, I have found named elites at "The Blockade" in DZ01 and "The Library" in DZ02. Therefore, anyone trying to get this achievement, I would recommend bouncing around the landmarks.

    Secondly, I don't know what the respawn times are for named elites. Earlier today I spent roughly an 45 minutes in the Dark Zone, killing a named elite almost immediately upon entering, and that named elite never respawned. HOWEVER, an elite with the same name spawned in a different location - Animal running crazy in the DZ.

    Just some notes that might help fellow hunters.
