How to Get a Headshot in Gears of War

Step-by-Step Guide

1. 1

   Step 1: Sniper — Simply aim at the head and pull the trigger

   If your host aims at the head the bullet will come out instantly.
   
   Also, if you "no scope" with the sniper (no scope meaning holding the left trigger WITHOUT clicking the right stick), then sniping is marginally easier, since lining up the head with the aimer like this seems to work better and faster.

   Step 2: unless you're the host

   The bottom line of the rectangle should be on the head.
   
   Basically, aim above the head as the shotgun has a spray effect. , Honestly, the "boltok" is not useless but is better because in just one shot and one melee the opponent will be downed.
   
   Aim at the head and pull the trigger as quickly as possible. ,
