How to Get Kills on Operators Affected by Your Tactical in MW3

The best way to get kills on Operators affected by your Tacticals is to use Flash Grenades, Stuns, or Tear Gas on enemies before you shoot them. There are a ton of different Tacticals that you can use in Modern Warfare 3, but they won’t all help you gain camo progress. When you throw your equipment out, it needs to affect the enemy negatively. So items like the Snapshot Grenade or the Smoke Grenade aren’t going to help.

I highly recommend using Tear Gas or Flash Grenades because of the duration and radius of effect that they offer. Tear Gas specifically has a much longer active duration than the other Tacticals in the game and it stays in the area for a decent amount of time. Just throw the Flash or the Gas out and shoot any enemies that were in range when you see the hitmaker on your screen.

For the best mode to get kills on Operators affected by your Tactical, I recommend playing Hardpoint. You can easily predict enemy path patterns and spawns in this mode and players tend to run to the objective. Any time you see the point turn red, just chuck your Tactical and then kill any Operators in the area.

One final addition I would make to help with the challenge is the Tac Mask perk in the Gear slot. It won’t help much, but you may be able to stop some of the effects of missed Tactical equipment as you attempt to complete the challenge. Also using a Vest that gives you double equipment is the fastest way to get kills on Operators affected by your Tacticals in MW3.

According to a few MW3 players, running Shipment is the fastest way to complete this challenge. You’ll also want to equip UAV as your killstreak, put on an Engineer vest for the two tacticals. Next, you’ll want to create a distraction on spawn points by throwing stun or flash grenades. Then go in guns a blazing with tactical and get a kill. Do this repeatedly to blaze through the challenge fast.
