Call of Duty daily and weekly challenges are fun and exciting, offering players something worthwhile to grind on. One of the weekly challenges in COD: Modern Warfare 3’s multiplayer mode is to get 3 Operator Collateral Kills with a recommended weapon. Collateral kills have been part of COD for years, and they’re among the most difficult challenges to complete.

Collateral kills require players to land multiple kills using only one bullet. Most players find this challenge nearly impossible to complete, but some tricks and strategies can be implemented to increase the chances of landing a collateral kill.

Here’s a step-by-step guide to getting collateral kills in Modern Warfare 3 and completing the Week 2 challenge:

Use a Powerful Sniper Build

The best weapon for getting multiple kills with a single bullet in MW3 is a sniper rifle. The best sniper rifle for this challenge is the KATT AMR since it has an excellent damage range, firepower, and fire rate. Other high-damage sniper rifles players can use include the Victus-XMR and MCPR-300.

Go For Smaller Maps

Players have a better chance of getting collateral kills in smaller maps with tight corners. One great map is the Terminal, which has three narrow areas - the hallway that connects the lounge to security, the apron, and the airplane.

Since these areas are narrow, enemies will likely sneak around in a single file, making it easier to take down at least two with one bullet. Similarly, players tend to push and huddle together in hallways and corners, creating the perfect environment for collat kills. Players can camp in these areas, waiting to take the trickshot. Remember, enemies may move unpredictably, so watch out and try various lobbies to land the collat. It’s essential to note that collateral kills in Private lobbies don’t count; they only do in public matchmaking lobbies.

Go For Spawn Peeks in Round-Based Games

This has been a staple method for getting collateral kills in COD, but it requires players with extensive map knowledge. Search and Destroy is one of the easiest round-based game modes where players can spawn peek when rounds start.
