Our 6 best ways to get multi-kills in MW3

Kill two or more opponents in quick succession to get a multi-kill in MW3. Triple kills and quad kills also count as multikills. And while the multi-kill indicator pops up only when you beat five enemies continuously, even double kills are enough for camo and weekly challenges.

While skilled players will occasionally get multi-kills, it can take a while to get enough of them for camo challenges. Here’s how to get multi-kills fast in MW3:

  • Opt for the best MW3 killstreaks – Get enough points or kills and you can call in these powerful abilities in combat. Use offensive ones instead of utility-based killstreaks for a shot at multi-kills.
  • Take out multiple enemies at Hardpoint and Domination objectives – If you get a clear line of sight on these goals across game modes, you’ll be able to take down multiple enemies quickly. Spawn points are another good option. And in the Kill Confirmed mode, waiting near your allies’ dog tags can help you knock multiple foes out cold.
  • Optimize your MW3 loadouts for damage – Options like long barrels and high grain ammunition will let you deal as much damage as possible across targets. The Riveter shotgun is a good pick with Incendiary Shells. You could also consider the Pulemyot 762 with the JAK Annihilator conversion kit.
  • Opt for crowded locations across maps – While most maps have a mix of tight corridors and larger spaces, the former can offer more chances of a multi-kill. But if you prefer a sniper rifle, maps like Highrise might be more to your liking. The Rustment playlist, consisting of maps Rust and Shipment, is a good option because of how chaotic those maps are. 10v10 Mosh Pit is a nice way to eke out some extra mileage from smaller maps. This is because they offer a buffed player count.
  • Don’t sleep on explosives – Grenades and launchers are situational items but when it comes to getting multiple kills quickly, they’re great options.
  • Consider hardcore mode – While you’re easier to kill in this mode, so are your enemies. Catch them off guard with light machine guns and you could drop multiple enemies quickly thanks to faster fire rates. Suitable weapons with higher damage output can help you rack up multi-kills in chaotic spaces.

Try not to reload after every kill to get multi-kills in MW3

While it can be tempting to quickly reload, you might come face-to-face with a second enemy, placing you at a disadvantage.

Is it worth getting multi-kills in MW3 multiplayer

Getting multi-kills will give you more XP to level up fast in MW3. It’s a good boost in addition to fulfilling challenge requirements for camo skins. For instance, the Forged camo for the BAS-B Battle Rifle requires you to get 10 multi-kills. You’ll need 25 of these rapid kills for the same Forged mastery camo for the SVA 545 assault rifle and Riveter shotgun in multiplayer. This makes them worth pursuing in the game.
