A point blank kill in Call of Duty is when a player kills an opponent within almost melee distance, usually less than five meters away from the player. It is a medal awarded to players that have slain opponents within this range. In Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2, players can earn bonus XP for pulling off different accolades in the game, including point-blank kills. To get point-blank kills, players need to hold closer angles in choke positions, which means standing in at least a 45-degree angle so that players cannot see them as they push around a corner. Camping is also a strategy that can help players get point-blank kills. Using close-range weapons such as shotguns can also help players rack up these kills.
