How to Get Clean Kills in MW3

As a seasoned player with over a decade of Call of Duty under my belt, let me tell you that I’ve seen a lot of changes and challenges throughout the years. But one thing remains constant – the thrill of completing those elusive Clean Kills in Modern Warfare 3 (MW3).


In the fifth installment of “Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3”, gamers encounter a fresh set of tasks to accomplish, and one such task involves securing Clean Kills. Although players have been executing this action previously, the simplicity of overlooking its significance often leaves some unaware of it.

In the style of Barebones Takedowns in Modern Warfare 3, Achieving Clean Kills can be quite straightforward. Yet, there are methods to simplify this process even further. Here’s a brief guide explaining what Clean Kills entail and offering tips for obtaining them with minimal effort.

What Are Clean Kills In MW3?

How to Get Clean Kills in MW3

In simpler terms, a Clean Kill is achieved when you defeat an opponent without receiving damage from them. While it’s not mandatory to eliminate them in a single hit, doing so would result in the best scenario for earning a Clean Kill on standard game modes. Sniper rifles or powerful weapons such as the RPK with the MW3’s JAK Cataclysm attachment are ideal choices for this purpose, especially if you’re the one to land the initial shot.

Experienced players are aware that the most convenient method to accomplish kill-related tasks is by joining small maps in the Hardcore mode of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. Weapons in this gameplay setting are noticeably deadlier; it’s possible for opponents to be eliminated instantly, making it an ideal spot if you’re aiming for Clean Kills. Keep in mind that mistakes can lead to multiple deaths. However, the advantage is that challenges will be completed more swiftly than usual.

If you prefer avoiding the Hardcore playlist, consider using a tactical, sneaky side-approach strategy in Ground War or War Mode instead. The commotion in these game modes usually conceals your movement, enabling you to score some surprising kills without being targeted.

Recommended Class Setup

  • Assassin Vest
  • Covert Sneakers
  • UAV
  • Portable Radar
  • Suppressed weapons

As a sneaky gamer in Modern Warfare 3, equipping a silenced gun alongside the Assassin Vest ensures I stay off the radar for most of my gaming time. Choosing a weapon with subsonic rounds adds another layer of stealth, keeping enemies from spotting me on their screens, amplifying my covert capabilities.

What Are Clean Kills For?

In essence, Clean Kills serve primarily to accomplish Challenges. For instance, in Week 1 of Modern Warfare 3 Season 5, players are tasked with achieving 5 Clean Kills using shotguns. Fulfilling challenges such as this grants a substantial amount of XP and significantly contributes to the progress made towards unlocking the weapon or conversion kit offered as the weekly reward.

Weekly Challenges can be tackled at your convenience throughout the whole season. In case you don’t participate in the entire season, you’ll have an opportunity to earn rewards through the Armory Unlock system.

Instead of deliberately striving for Clean Kills, you can focus more on overcoming the game’s challenges. You’ll automatically accumulate these kills as you progress in the game, but there aren’t many rewards for actively pursuing them. They serve more as a stylish touch and added excitement to the gameplay. Unless they are required to unlock camouflage or other similar features, there isn’t much motivation to intentionally chase after them.
