One of the best places to do this achievement is on Temple of Anubis. You need to be the attacking team and going onto your second point for you to do what I did. I have a video linked below but I'll spell it out too. As your approaching the second point and trying to go through the arch way there is a set of statues. Use your zip line to get up the left most status and charge up your rifle. Keep it aimed and keep an eye on the enemy team as they duck in and out of your view. Slowly creep to the end of the platform (you get quite a bit of edge) and wait until someone is in your sights. I did this while being sniped at and in the video you'll notice I messed up once. Just keep trying. This is insanely luck driven but you'll get it with persistence. There are a ton of other points but this is where I got it.

This achv is such a pain. I falling off ledges on various maps but ended up getting it with the scope fire then jump method. May want to add that as an alternative solution. Good guide though. +1

Hey I've just unlocked the achievement in a very simple way no one reported so far, so here you go:
- map: Oasis (city center) - control mode
- where: jump pad on the sideway
- how: as soon as the game starts, run to the jump pad. Simply position yourself on the jump pad in such a way you will keep jumping without moving away from it. In this way you will be constantly airborne. When you reach the maximum height of the jump, you can shoot the people inside the control area. If you are not lucky in this way, just wait there. Sooner or later the enemies will spot you and someone will come looking for you. When they take the jump pad, they will find themselves defenceless on the walkways. Just shoot them in the head and the achievement will pop.
- tips#1: there is a large health pack just below, close to the jump pad, just in case something goes wrong...
- tips#2: place the mine at the entrance of the elevator, so that you will know someone is coming when you see the trap triggered. Moreover, this will confuse the incoming enemy, making the shot even easier

I was able to get his achievement to unlock simply scoping in, letting the shot charge to full, lining up a head shot, and then the really hard part... Just hitting the jump button at the EXACT same time I fired. Seriously, thats all I had to do. I dont know if its a sure thing or if your timing has to be exact, but I got it on literally my first try with this method. Maybe I just got kicky, but so far this has been the easiest achievement ive unlocked for overwatch next to "The Friend Zone" hope this helps you guys, let me know your results in the comments so others can see this works in case they don't believe it.

This does not work.

This still works however I think for you to get credit you have to be in the air and can't hit the shot right when you jump. Feet must be off the ground. Took me like 8 trys but got it!

Edit 1: It looks like by the PC patch notes on 14/06/2016 that you may not be able to do it this method 'Players must now wait for the unscoping animation to completely finish before scoping' so if you are trying to do it this way, get your skates on

Edit 2: It appears as though you can still do it this way, but if someone can confirm?

I know there are a few guides for this already, but my method for obtaining this is way easier...

Just jump! simple... OK sure, when you jump you scope out, but if you jump again immediately after, you scope in while jumping the second time.

So just hold the scope button then jump, jump, fire

Easy :) good luck.

Edit: Since the guide was getting downvotes i can only assume people didnt quite understand what i mean by my description so here is a video of the move.

Perfect!! Easiest way by far!!

I tried this method and was able to unlock the achievement on 1/20/2017. I scoped in, fired, and jumped at the exact same time. Still need to be a little lucky and actually get a headshot kill.
