How to get non-Drill Charge underbarrel kills in MW3

Modern Warfare 3 presents players with a variety of challenges, some of which are quite straightforward, while others may require a bit more explanation. In this guide, we’ll focus on how to obtain non-Drill Charge underbarrel kills, a task that can help you progress in the game.

MW3: How to get non-Drill Charge underbarrel kills

To achieve non-Drill Charge underbarrel kills in MW3, you’ll need to use the underbarrel attachments for the Holger 556. Make sure you have the necessary equipment unlocked before attempting this challenge. These kills are made by using the underbarrel attachments to down an enemy with projectiles. The available options for this task include the SPW-400mm HE and Corvus Masterkey. As you continue to unlock additional equipment by using the Holger 556, you may have more options at your disposal.

During a match, ensure you switch fire modes to use the underbarrel. For keyboard users, pressing B is the way to go, while controller users should press the left button on the D-Pad. You’ll know the firing mode has changed when the reticle appears different.

Tips to get all 25 kills

Both the SPW-400mm HE and Corvus Masterkey operate differently. The SPW-400mm HE functions as a grenade launcher, allowing you to potentially hit multiple enemies with a single shot. On the other hand, the Corvus Masterkey serves as a shotgun, which may be more suitable for close-quarters combat, particularly on smaller maps like Rust. In such scenarios, the Corvus Masterkey attachment can help you secure all 25 kills in a single match.
