How to Get Longshot Kills

Longshot Kills play a crucial role in achieving mastery camos in Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone. Players need to secure kills from specific distances to unlock the coveted Platinum camo for most weapons. The varying distances required for Longshot Kills depend on the weapon class, with shotguns needing shorter distances and sniper rifles requiring more significant gaps between the player and the target.

In addition to their role in camo progression, Longshot Kills are necessary for unlocking several specific weapons, such as the Holger 556 and the Striker 9. Understanding the precise distances needed for each weapon type is essential for players aiming to complete these challenges efficiently in the game.

List of distances to get longshot kills in Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone

Weapon Type Distance
Shotguns 12.5 meters
Pistols 20 meters
Submachine Guns (SMGs) 30 meters
Assault Rifles 38 meters
Light Machine Guns (LMGs) 38 meters
Marksman Rifles 38 meters
Battle Rifles 38 meters
Sniper Rifles 50 meters

If a kill qualifies as a Longshot, a label reading „Longshot“ will appear on the screen along with the specific distance. Assault rifles, LMGs, marksman rifles, and battle rifles all require a distance of 38 meters for a Longshot kill.

Maps such as Shipment make achieving longshot kills challenging for these weapon types due to their size. While short-range weapons like shotguns, pistols, and SMGs can easily achieve longshots on Shipment, larger maps like Shoot House, Karachi, Wasteland, Afghan, Estate, and Quarry are better suited for obtaining longshot kills with assault rifles and sniper rifles.
