How to Get the HE-1 Launcher Gold in BO6

Getting the HE-1 Launcher gold on BO6 can be challenging, but with the right strategies, you can make significant progress. Here’s a guide based on the latest gameplay, especially with the release of Nuketown, which allows for streak use, making it the best map for this grind.

Step 1: Set Up Your Loadout with Engineer

To get the edge, make sure you’re using the Engineer perk. This perk allows you to see enemy equipment and streaks through walls and on your mini-map. This gives you a big advantage in spotting enemy streaks before your teammates, so you can destroy them for credit.

Step 2: Target the Right Enemy Equipment

For the special challenge to destroy enemy equipment, be on the lookout for ammo boxes and other deployables. Destroying these counts toward your gold challenge progress. All kill streaks, including SAM turrets, sentry guns, and RCXDs, contribute to this challenge. Even if you die in the process, you’ll still get confirmation if you hit the equipment, so don’t worry about perfection.

Step 3: Adjust Your Settings for Better Accuracy

To improve your aim, go to the graphics settings and adjust your Field of View (FOV). The creator of the strategy recommends setting it to 100. If you prefer a higher FOV, like 120, keep in mind that you may need to lead your shots less than usual.

Step 4: Counter UAVs Are Your Friend

Counter UAVs are some of the easiest streaks to hit with the HE-1 Launcher. If the Counter UAV is close, fire when the nose enters your scope. For further distances, lead just outside your scope – they move slower than UAVs, so there’s more room for error.

Step 5: How to Hit UAVs

UAVs can be tricky, as they follow a more unpredictable path. Start by tracking the UAV to understand its flight path. When you’re ready, lead your shot depending on the distance:

• Close Range: Fire when the UAV is near the second ring in your scope.
• Farther Distances: Adjust to lead at the next ring outward, but remember this is just a guideline, as both the UAV and launcher can be unpredictable.

Step 6: Increase Streak Opportunities with Care Packages

If enemies aren’t using streaks frequently, consider equipping care packages. Toss them near the enemy’s location, which will encourage them to call in additional UAVs, counter UAVs, and possibly helicopters. Just be prepared for the occasional Chopper Gunner that might work against you!

Step 7: Use Nuketown to Your Advantage

Nuketown’s compact layout makes it perfect for completing challenging tasks. Take advantage of the map to grind out streaks and potentially stack challenges, like headshots, along the way.

With persistence and these strategies, you’ll make progress toward unlocking the HE-1 Launcher in gold. Good luck, and happy hunting!
