If you want to know how to get Point Blank Kills effectively in Black Ops 6, this ONE Esports guide has everything you need.
Point Blank Kills can be challenging to earn, especially if you’re trying to unlock weapon camos or complete challenges.
In this guide, we break down key tips and strategies to help you consistently secure this type of elimination and quickly clear associated tasks.
What are Point Blank Kills?
In BO6, Point Blank Kills are achieved by eliminating an enemy at extremely close range, typically within a few feet.
For tracking purposes, you need to be almost directly next to the enemy, making these kills harder to get without the right approach.
How to get Point Blank Kills effectively
Best maps and modes
Since this type of elimination requires close proximity to your enemies, Stike maps such as Stakeout and Warhead are ideal.
Compact map layouts restrict player movement and feature plenty of tight spaces where enemies are often within striking distance. These conditions increase the likelihood of encountering opponents at an ideal range for Point Blank Kills.
To access the Strike maps, choose the Face Off Moshpit or its Hardcore variant for the best opportunities to rack up close-range eliminations.
If you prefer medium or large maps, focus on seeking out small, enclosed areas within them. These tight spaces often funnel players through, increasing your chances of catching enemies passing through for close-range encounters.
Best weapons
Using the right weapons and attachments is crucial for face-to-face engagements.
Submachine guns and shotguns are ideal for securing Point Blank Kills due to their effectiveness in close-quarters combat. Top SMG options include the Jackal PDW, C9, and PP-919, while the Marine SP and ASG-89 are strong picks for shotguns.
To improve your chances, rely on hipfire for these close encounters. Equip attachments that boost hipfire accuracy and help control recoil, as this will make it easier to land those critical close-range shots.
Best perks
Equip Gung-Ho and Double Time to maximize your Tactical Sprint duration, allowing you to close in on enemies quickly. Adding Assassin reveals enemies on kill streaks with a minimap marker, helping you track high-value targets.
Together, these red perks activate the Enforcer combat specialty, granting a temporary boost to movement speed and health regeneration upon securing a kill. This combination is perfect for players looking to adopt a high-mobility, aggressive approach ideal for scoring Point Blank Kills.
Alternatively, for a stealthier playstyle, go with Ninja, Tracker, and Cold-Blooded. This setup minimizes your visibility on the map and allows you to sneak up on enemies.
These blue perks activate the Recon combat specialty, which briefly allows you to see through walls after respawning. This extra visibility makes it easier to plan your approach, get close, and secure those elusive close-range eliminations without alerting enemies.
