How to get Double Kills in MW2

Double Kills are critical to completing a significant number of challenges in Modern Warfare 2. So, if you want to unlock all the weapons and camos, you will need to know how to score Double Kills in the game.

How do you get Double Kills?

There are a few tried and true strategies to get easy Double Kills. For starters, securing Double Kills is a lot smoother on smaller, compact maps where encounters with enemy players are more prevalent. With that, the Shoot the Ship playlist is ideal for Double Kills.

Going further, Double Kills are undoubtedly easier to pull off in Hardcore Mode. In Hardcore, opponents die in a shot or two, making Double Kills a breeze.

Last but not least, designing a loadout specifically for achieving Double Kills can go a long way. For example, taking an Extended Magazine on your gun could be the difference between having or not having enough ammunition to finish a second enemy.

Thankfully, you need not worry, as this is only a visual bug. Even if it looks like your Double Kills aren't counting, your progress is still being tracked behind the scenes.

Getting Double Kills can be frustrating, especially with certain weapons and the fact that Double Kills don't always track properly. But with the right tactics, you can rack up Double Kills relatively easily and complete all the necessary Camo Challenges and Weapon Unlock Challenges!

The bonus XP from Double Kills will help you reach the MW2 max rank.
