Modern Warfare 3: How to get Operator Barebones kills

A new week opens the door for new Weekly Challenges for all of us to complete. However, what I have encountered quite often is that these Challenges do not explain very well what exactly you have to do, especially for specific types of kills. For Season 2 Week 3, we have a special Weekly Challenge that involves getting Operator Barebones kills, and it can get a bit confusing. You see, in prior games, Barebones was actually a playlist that disabled killstreaks and kill points, but it’s not present in Modern Warfare 3. So, what are Operator Barebones kills?

This time, it has nothing to do with a specific playlist, but rather the gun itself you use to kill enemy Operators. You see, Barebones is a state of your weapon, and to make your kills count toward the tally, you need to kill enemy Operators without any attachments equipped. Given the characteristics of the Haymaker — which is tied to the challenge — you will have no problems getting this type of kill as long as you play in small maps. I recommend playing the Small Map Mosh Pit since you will get a lot of chances to use your shotgun and also take part in objective-based maps and gain additional experience points.

Complete this Weekly Challenge and you will be close to unlocking the JAK Maglift Kit and making your Haymaker an extremely powerful weapon. Just enjoy the mayhem of playing in small maps and rack up those kills!
