How to get Burst Fire kills in Black Ops 6
Burst Fire kills, as the name suggests, are those operator kills that are taken using a gun that features a burst fire mode. It essentially means the weapons that fire three rounds at a single time are eligible for this challenge in Black Ops 6.
Currently, these are the burst fire weapons available to use in Black Ops 6 but always keep in mind that Activision keeps adding new guns with the introduction of seasonal updates. So make sure to check your weapon loadout before heading into the battlefield:
- AEK-973
- Type: Three-round burst DMR
- Damage: 44/40/40 (Head/Torso/Legs)
- Fire Rate: 342 RPM
- Magazine Size: 30 rounds
- Bullet Velocity: 860 m/s
- Mobility: Moderate
- Unlock Level: 34
- SWAT 5.56
- Type: Three-round burst DMR
- Damage: Strong stopping power with a fast burst cooldown
- Magazine Size: 30 rounds
- Unlock Level: Unlocked Immediately
However, it’s important to note that you’ll need to switch the firing more to three rounds as the default firing mode may be different for each weapon. To do that, simply press the left D-pad on your controller or B key on your keyboard. After that, the weapon will fire three rounds upon pulling the trigger once.
Before you take burst fire kills in Black Ops 6, keep in mind that burst fire weapons generally have a lot of recoil and less bullet accuracy which means you should avoid firing them continuously. Although you can improve them by installing necessary attachments, they still deliver average performance during close range combats.
Therefore, we highly suggest using a weapon like the AEK-973 or SWAT 5.56 during mid to long-range fights only. To have a better idea, you can head to the firing range in Black Ops 6 and try out both of these weapons.
