How to get Critical Kills with Sniper Rifles in MW3 Zombies

Only headshot kills count.

In MW3 Zombies, getting Critical Kills can be tricky, especially if you are using Snipers and Marksman Rifles. I've completed this mission using a custom blueprint for the FJX Imperium Sniper, so here are a few tricks you can follow to finish this objective in a single run.

How to get 75 Critical Kills using Sniper Rifles in MW3 Zombies (Map)

One of the Daily Challenges for Armory Unlocks requires players to get 75 Critical Kills using Sniper Rifles in MW3 Zombies. Essentially, it means every shot you take needs to be a headshot to count as a Critical Hit. While the task sounds difficult, there are a few methods you can try to progress and complete this challenge quickly.

Starting with the easiest method, consume a Deadshot Daquiri Perk-A-Cola after spawning in a match. This Perk-A-Cola allows you to get Critical Hits easily by aiming down sights and also removes scope sway. If you have a schematic for this item, craft it before getting into a match. You can also obtain a Deadshot Daquiri Acquisition through contract rewards, Infested Strongholds, Aether Nests, and Mercenary Camps.

For my Sniper build, I like to use the SZ Heatsource 800 Optic as it highlights the enemies with a heatscan. Similarly, I prefer using the .408 Explosive Ammunition with the Nilsound 90 Muzzle. You can switch out the Laser and Barrel from this build to add other attachments based on personal preference.

There is a brilliant sniping spot at the Zaravan City POI (map sector D6), where you can climb up on a crane and aim down at enemies easily. Zombies cannot climb up this crane which makes it one of the best vantage points in the game. Another efficient method is to visit an Exfil Point, call for the chopper, and start eliminating zombies with headshots. I recommend finding a good hiding spot from where you can keep sniping enemies without having to deal with them at close range.
