There are several challenges in Modern Warfare 3 that you need to complete to unlock certain weapons, attachments, and camos.
Some of the challenges require you to do certain types of kills in Multiplayer, including Strafing Kills.
In this ONE Esports guide, we explain the concept of Strafing Kills, and how to effectively score them in Modern Warfare 3.
Strafing Kills in Modern Warfare 3 explained
Strafing in Modern Warfare 3 and other shooter titles basically means moving sideways.
That means moving left or right by pressing the directional buttons in the console or “A” and “D” when using a keyboard simultaneously lets you do a strafe movement.
So, taking out opponents while moving left or right in the Multiplayer game modes count as Strafing Kills. You can also get them from hip fire or ADS (aim down sight) mode.
How to get Strafing Kills easily
Playing in smaller maps is useful for getting this type of elimination, as the players are in the near vicinity of each other the whole time.
Since strafing requires you to be very quick, it’s important to use rapid-fire weapons like assault rifles and submachine guns (SMGs).
You need the best of these classes to make sure you get proper strafing kills on target. Moreover, various gear and equipment in the game affect certain aspects of your movement.
For example, the Stalker Boots specifically improve strafing and ADS movement speed. So, equipping these will certainly be beneficial for your overall movement, as well as how you handle and control your weapon.
