Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 - What Are Barebone Kills?…

The weapon progression system in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 involves leveling up guns and, in some cases, completing specific challenges. These are often straightforward — score headshots with assault rifles, beat enemies in point-blank range, and other things that you usually end up doing unintentionally. However, challenges like getting Barebones Kills are a bit more confusing, especially since the game doesn't explain what Barebones Kills even are.

The good thing about Barebones Kills is that it's much easier than it sounds, and that's a good thing considering how players will never know when this requirement might pop up when they're farming for MW3's camos or weapon unlocks. If you're not quite sure how to get these, here's a quick guide explaining how, as well as some tips on the best way to score them.

What Is A Barebones Kill In Modern Warfare 3?

Simply put, these refer to any kills scored using a fully unmodded weapon. If you beat an opponent using a gun that has no attachments, challenges that requires Barebone Kills will progress. This type of Operator elimination was previously required on the third week of MW3 Season 2 to unlock the JAK Maglift aftermarket part for the Haymaker shotgun, which gives the weapon a binary trigger, a bigger magazine, and better stats across the board at the cost of lower damage and slower handling.

In Season 4, Barebones Kills are once again required. This time, it's to unlock one of the camos for the reintroduced Kar98k rifle. Players should have no trouble getting Barebones Kills with this gun as the Kar98k is one of the best quickscope weapons in the game, rivaling even the Mors and the XRK Stalker.

Thankfully, there's really nothing complicated left to do here. Pick the gun you need Barebones Kills for, strip it of any attachments, then go to town on any MP game mode. The easiest way to get Barebones kills is to join Modern Warfare 3's Hardcore Playlist, where lethality is cranked up to maximum.

Here, you won't have to worry much about your gun getting outperformed by your enemy's, provided that you can pull the trigger and hit your shot before they do. We highly recommend curating your Hardcore Playlist to include respawn-enabled game modes like TDM, Kill Confirmed, and Domination on small maps like Shipment, Meat, Rust, or Stash House. These will result in quick games where you can focus on getting the kills you need.
