On my hunt for Dark Matter, I have found a few tricks with my hardest class, the Snipers.
All Snipers (Mostly @locus + @svg) - You can smack the shxt out of people in Hardcore FFA! You can simply punch people (one punch), and they count towards your bloodthirsty challenge! It saved me a ton of time on my Locus and SVG, that's for sure. I've been on the run with no attachments and 6 perks to ensure I had the upper hand in my fights. I did Blind Eye, Ghost, Tracker, Fast Hands, Tactical Mask, and Gung-Ho (idk bout that last one, might not be a benefit).
Drakon - Hardcore seems to be easier than Core because any shot is a one shot. Everything else is seemingly easy from my analysis, core shouldn't be a problem after the one shot 100 times challenge, because if you treat it as a DMR, it would perform as one.
P-06 - Again, Hardcore route for the one shot challenges, because I believe you need to get a kill with one of the 3 bullets you burst, and it deals 90 damage (without multipliers), so it'd be mainly a headshot or upper chest shot one hit kill. My idea is to get to Stronghold or Infection and just kill people in the campy/soundwhorey style.
Locus - Um, where do I begin? One shots were pretty easy in Chaos, but that Bloodthirsty though! I was stumped for days with 4/5 because I'm not some FaZe Red quickscoping legend, I won't be able to run around and QS 5 kills without dying. Smacking got me that last Bloodthirsty after thinking about how I got the others (3/4 snipes and a smack of the gun counted) and my idea worked.
SVG-100 - Same story as Locus except the slower fire rate BUTCHERED me.
So I don't know if you guys already knew these tips, but if you did, sorry about the repost about it. So I'm new here, I'm Merely, just a wannabe analyst that'll come at random times sharing my findings. I abide by rules so check below in the red text!
You are my bro, bro.

Gung-Ho on a sniper class is silly. There's no reason not to use Awareness+DS on every class.

You don't need hardcore for the P-06.

Sniper bloodthirsty challenges are very doable, you just need to...you know...play like a sniper. Camp it up like a champ, trip mine, shock charge, and wait for the kills on that long sight line. And wait some more... and wait some more...
Except for the drakon which with an ELO is basically an AR with a little sway and no QD.

No, the Drakon and P-06 have aim assist when ADS. Did they buff it to be more than the piss-poor amount it was before?

C4 is better and it saves you a point But C4 requires you to sort of pay attention to the alarm. I like lazy kills.

I don't like soundwhoring because I play in a party with my friends and we talk enough where game volume is not needed past hearing "The enemies are taking Bravo" for us.

You don't know what you're missing, man. Awareness makes headsets a million times better.

You are my bro, bro.Small learning curve require knowledge on the maps about most of the lines of sight. Certain maps chess board have lines of sights which counter each other. Surprising how many non obvious routes lines of sight can be found. Step 1, Forget everything you know about snipers Step 2, Learn how to snipe again Step 3, No serious learn how to snipe Step 4, Map knowledge, traffic awareness and player information. Step 5, Defensive playstyle is better Drakon honest hardcore is your friend for one hit kill medals did all the challenges in hardcore. Due to being used to hardcore was doing MR6 at the same time in hardcore. Would do one hit kill medals in hardcore, challenges after that in core. Play it bit like DMR only attachments I avoided was stock. Did rest of snipers in core mode without issue at all. Played objective gamemodes mainly due to easy traffic patterns. Attachments Nothing or thermal or suppressor or CPU Perks to use Flak jacket, Six sense Tracker, Cold blooded Awareness, Dead silence , Tactical Mask Best advice is to play very slow and bait people [it works] can use smoke or traps. Be willing to pull out pistol or have overkill. Abused the hell out of awareness so useful.... Using thermal unsuppressed SVG in safeguard ground war triple kills came easy by baiting people couple times. Enjoyed using the SVG so much after gold kept on using it for couple of times netting couple more killstreaks. Played the Locus like the SVG more forgiving miss a shot just try again. Just average but good enough to get stuff gold

Sniper tips for try hards:
1. Put a dot with a marker (on a piece of tape if you want) on the center of your monitor.
2. Hip fire SMGs for a few hours against bots using the dot for assisted centering.
3. Transition to a sniper rifle.
4. Use the dot for centering and start quickscoping bots.
5. Repeat step 4 for 6-120 hours until you're a God.
6. QS noobs like a Faze member on your way to more bloodthirsties than you can imagine.
Bonus step: Improve your SMG/AR shot immensely now that you actually center on enemies and hit your first shots. Watch that accuracy and KD rise.
You're welcome.

Sniping isn't my thing, so I just wanted to share how you can finish it faster if you're really good at melee. Plus I don't like the idea of tactical loitering, I've played since WaW built upon running and gunning.

I've found myself using my secondary PSN for a while now and I'm prestige 8 on it. I use this to experiment without ruining my main stats. I'm finding myself having a hellish time, I spent one day and I got only ONE Bloodthisty. The punching tactic seems to be getting out of its time, as in Hardcore, people can 1HK you.

Honestly, the best way to get sniper bloodthirsties is to play bad players. A couple of guys repeatedly running down the tracks on Fringe with the Weevil while you're sniping there is better than any strategy you can come up with.
That said, I find enemies that have been hit with a stun significantly easier to snipe. Heat Wave is a great defensive tool in a pinch, and allows for OHK melee in core. Adapt your style as your streak increases - at 0 kills, your goal should be to get kills; at 4 kills, don't die.

Sniping is about map knowledge. Know the sight lines and anticipate opponent movement. Running around and punching people for bloodthirsties sounds like it would take way longer than just learning how to play like a sniper.
Safeguard is treating me well for sniping. Very predictable spawns and you're not killing your team by sitting back and tactical loitering certain sightlines with your rifle, e.g. the barn in Fringe or basically anywhere on Hunted. The final stretch in any Safeguard game is a pretty lucrative kill zone for sniping (or any other multi kill challenge). Once you get better at it you can be more aggressive and treat it sort of like a OSK assault rifle. Just work long engagements and carry a pistol when you need to move.
Of course Dom is always good for kills but you're hurting the team more if you're just tactical loitering it up in Dom.

Kill confirmed seems to be the easiest for bloodthirsties on all weapons. Easy to bait and predict enemy routes
