How to earn Point Blank Kills in Modern Warfare 4
For starters, a Point Blank Kill is earned when you eliminate an enemy that is in extremely close proximity to you. It doesn’t matter when you damage an enemy, but when you see the kill pop up in the killfeed, you need to be within a certain range of the enemy for it to count as a Point Blank.
The exact range for a Point Blank Kill in Modern Warfare 4 is currently unknown, but we do know that it’s much closer than you might expect. In most cases, you need to be within roughly two meters of an enemy when you kill them to earn a Point Blank. This goes for all weapon classes as well, so unlike Longshot Kills, you have to be roughly two meters away even if you’re using something like a light machine gun or sniper rifle.
Best way to get Point Blank Kills in Modern Warfare 4
Now that you understand what a Point Blank Kill is, what’s the most optimal way to go about earning them in multiplayer? Well, it slightly depends on the gun you’re using, as some weapons are naturally stronger at closer ranges.
However, for the most part, you’ll want to use mobility attachments on your loadout so you can get your gun up quicker, which helps out tremendously when killing enemies at close-range. You could also go for an entirely hip-fire build and just shoot from the hip when killing enemies up close. This works best for most weapons, but you can ADS with something like an SMG or assault rifle and have the same results.
To streamline getting Point Blank Kills, you have one primary destination: Shipment. The map Shipment was just added to Modern Warfare 4 multiplayer, and there’s even a Shipment 24/7 playlist you can play to ensure you always play the map. If you’ve never played Shipment before, the map is extremely small and perfect for close-range engagements, which is exactly what you’re looking for.
The best practice on Shipment is to do your best to run through lanes with a lot of traffic and hope you catch enemies with their guns down. From there, you can kill them up close, and hopefully earn a Point Blank in the process.
For most weapon camo challenges involving Point Blank Kills, you need 20-30 of them, which can be done in just a couple of matches of Shipment if you’re proficient enough. However, guns like the WZ.55 Striga SMG, which require 40 Point Blanks, will take longer. But as long as you keep playing Shipment and use the right attachments, you’ll earn however many Point Blanks you’re after much faster than if you were to play any other map in Modern Warfare 4.
