Clean kills are those operator kills that you get without taking any damage in the game, whether from bullets, explosives or melee attacks. Simply put, if an opponent deals even minor damage to you, you won’t be able to count any kills as “clean” until your next spawn.

For example, if you spawn and take three kills without any damage, they count as clean. But if the opponent then hits you and reduces your health by 50% before you get another kill, only the first three will count as clean kills and the last one won’t.

So your primary goal is to keep your health bar full as long as your objective is to take clean kills in Black Ops 6.

To easily score them, we suggest playing the hardcore mode as it generally has increased weapon damage (players usually die in one or two shots) which allows you to farm clean kills much faster.

Apart from this, we recommend using long range weapons like a sniper or DMR to take out your opponents from a distance without taking damage. You can also use scope on assault rifles but this method has a lower success rate when compared to the sniper one.

Finally, it’s worth mentioning that you can only take clean kills in Black Ops 6 multiplayer mode. As a result, your progress won’t count if you’re playing zombies or custom matches in the game.
