How to score Hipfire Kills effectively in BO6

Hipfire kills are eliminations earned by taking out enemies without aiming down sights (ADS), relying instead on firing directly from the hip.

This technique is particularly useful in close-quarters combat, where rapid reactions are crucial and maintaining mobility can mean the difference between survival and death.

To quickly rack up hipfire kills, dive into the Face Off Mosh Pit playlist, which includes the compact, action-packed Strike maps Stakeout, Warhead, Pit, and Gala.

You might also want to try the Hardcore variant of Face Off, as the reduced player health makes it possible to secure kills with just a few shots.

For weapon choices, SMGs and shotguns excel in hipfire scenarios due to their handling and high damage output at short range. Top SMG picks include the Kompakt 92, Jackal PDW, and Tanto .22, while the Marine SP shotgun offers exceptional firepower.

Equip attachments that enhance hipfire accuracy and recoil control, such as laser sights and steady grips, to improve precision and make it easier to land those crucial close-range hits.

When choosing perks, focus on selecting the blue options to activate the Recon combat specialty, which allows you see to enemy positions through walls for a limited time after respawning. This temporary vision benefit makes it easier to predict enemy movements, enabling you to plan your approach and score eliminations more effectively.

Lastly, consider disabling the Sprint Assist setting to avoid interruptions while firing, allowing for smoother hipfire performance in intense situations.
