There are numerous types of elimination in Modern Warfare 3, including Point Blank Kills.
Like the Longshot Kills and Toxic Damage Kills, Point Blank Kills are needed to complete weekly or event challenges.
In this ONE Esports guide, we break down this type of elimination, and how to quickly get it in the game.
How to get Point Blank Kills in MW3 the easiest way
Point Blank Kills are basically kills that are done at extremely close range. It essentially means the enemy has to be near touching distance of you when you take them out.
Ensuring this type of kill is hard as you barely have the chance to aim down sights (ADS). As such, you need to wait for the perfect timing.
Given that getting these kills requires you to be close to your enemies, smaller maps are your best bets here. Player movements are very restricted due to the compact size, and there are a lot of tight spaces.
Taking that into consideration, there’s a high chance you find a few opponents within touching distance to eliminate.
Small map playlists are especially useful here, and are probably the best ones to pick for getting Point Blank Kills.
If you’re more of a medium or large map player, look for small and tight spaces within the map, and you may stumble upon enemies going through those areas.
Additionally, using hipfire mode is also a great way to land these kills, as it improves the chance of scoring them. So, you may want to create an effective build that enhances hipfire accuracy and recoil control.
Submachine guns and shotguns are the best classes to get Point Blank Kills, as they are suitable for short-range combat. Great choices include the HRM-9, Striker 9, and Static-HV for SMG, and the Lockwood 680, KV Broadside, and Reclaimer 18 for shotgun.
In MW3 Zombies mode, it’s much easier to get this elimination since hordes of undead come toward you, which can help you complete challenges swiftly.
