How to get Kingslayer kills in MW3

Everyone wants to be top dog, but that means a target on your back in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. When you’re performing well, you might become the king of your team which will motivate enemy players to go after you and get a Kingslayer kill in the process.

When playing against talented players in MW3, it’ll be even harder to get Kingslayer kills since top scorers won’t get caught off-guard easily.

What are Kingslayer kills in MW3?

You can achieve Kingslayer kills by defeating the best opponent in MW3. Open up the leaderboard and see who’s leading in scores on the enemy team. When you knock out the opposition’s top player, you’ll get a Kingslayer kill and a notification will pop. In most cases, the king in question will often be a camper, so make sure to keep an eye on corners.

Operator skins like Horangi require Kingslayer kills to unlock, while others trying to complete their daily and weekly challenges will inevitably face the six Operator Kingslayer kill requirements.

How to easily get Kingslayer kills in MW3

When it comes to going after Operator Kingslayer or the top scorer on the opposing team in MW3, we recommend these strategies:

1. Find the Operator’s name on the leaderboard: Always check the leaderboard as the “king” can change.
2. Note down the King’s Operator skin and track them down: Knowing who you’re looking for will greatly help you in your search.
3. Use your teammates to locate the “king’s” position on the map: If you notice your teammates die on the map, check the kill feed to see if they were killed by the “king.”
4. Use a UAV: Unless the “king” has the Ghost perk equipped, you’ll be able to see them on the mini-map.
5. Play Team Deathmatch: The “king” is more likely to remain unchanged as opposed to the top scorers in objective-based modes like Hardpoint.
6. Try to flank enemy spawns: Try to get close to the enemy spawn without moving it to another point on the map. Wait until the “king” dies by watching the kill feed and kill anyone who is coming out of spawn after their death.
7. Watch out for campers: In most matches, the King and the top scorer in the enemy team can be a camper. For that reason, I recommend checking all the corners.

While these are not guaranteed methods to work every time, I found these helped when I hunted down the kill leader and top scorer in my MW3 matches.
