At LHC Run 2, many heavy particles decaying to jets can be identified with jet substructure techniques. Various techniques for reconstructing boosted bosons were used in LHC Run 1 at ATLAS, and they are being tested with the Run 2 data. Some early results comparing signal and background shapes from these techniques will be shown, with comments on their possible usage on new physics searches.
