Despite mixed reviews, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 was still one of 2023’s best-selling games, alongside the likes of Hogwarts Legacy and EA Sports FC 24.

MW3 concluded the rebooted Modern Warfare trilogy, which began in 2019. The original series was released between 2007 and 2011 and is highly regarded by many fans.

One of the main appeals to the franchise has always been its online multiplayer, which is known for being slick, fast-paced and competitive.

Modern Warfare 3 is no different – however, there is a lot to learn when playing it for the first time.

An issue that can creep up is trying to learn all of the jargon used within the game. If you don’t know what each term means, you can easily find yourself spending more time with your head in a glossary than on the battlefield.

Fortunately, we’re here to help with a term that lots of people have been trying to understand more clearly recently – Clean Kills.

Clean Kills are a way to eliminate your opponent when playing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 against other players online.

Regularly, players are set challenges that often unlock new weapons, cosmetics – such as different styles of camouflage that can be used to personalise your guns – and even various attachments to make you more efficient.

Getting a particular number of Clean Kills in a fixed period of time frequently forms part of these objectives, but it is not always clear on how you go about doing that.
