Killing is the name of the game in MW3 multiplayer, as players will need to take out as many operators as possible to level up their weapons as well as rank up.

You can get Penetration Kills easily by equipping Armor Piercing bullets in your weapons.

The Armor-piercing rounds have great bullet penetration compared to the other types of bullets. And these deal even more damage when firing upon enemies under cover. The NATO Round Nose Rounds also have the bullet penetration effect, but they are not nearly as effective as the Armor-Piercing ones.

You can equip these Armor-piercing rounds in your custom loadouts. To get proper penetration kills, it is recommended you use sniper rifles or marksman rifles. Since these are generally one-shot, you'll have to create a loadout that can one-shot enemies properly.

To get a bunch of penetration kills, you'll need to wait precisely for the right moment or position yourself perfectly. 6v6 modes generally don't give you that opportunity, so we recommend the larger map modes like Ground War, Invasion or War Mode. These give you enough time to do proper penetration kills.

Doing penetration kills with some weapons will give you XP as well as unlock certain camos, so if you want them, then you'll need to do these accurately.

So, that is everything you need to know about getting penetration kills in MW3. We also have guides on how to get longshot kills, the best battle rifle loadouts, and more right here on GGRecon.
