As players work to complete challenges in MW3, they may come across some puzzling ones. The game may ask you to get Clean Kills or take out enemies with the Blacklight Flashlight attached, but one that is causing many to scratch their heads involves Penetration Kills.

How to Get Penetration Kills in MW3

The most important part of pulling off any challenge in MW3 is having the right weapon. LMGs have the firepower to finish off enemies hiding behind cover, so that’s a good place to start. Gamers can also set up classes with weapons that use armor-piercing rounds.

With the weapon taken care of, it’s time to move onto location. Heading to smaller maps may do the trick because there are just more opportunities to get kills, but it’s also important to avoid locations with a lot of open space. Maps like Scrapyard and Terminal have a lot of cover, making them prime locations to get Penetration Kills in MW3.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone are available on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox.
