When gunning for point blank kills, play on maps that are designed for close-quarters combat. Try to vote for maps like Rust and Skidrow during the pre-match map voting if they pop up as options.

Smaller maps give you an advantage when aiming for point blank kills as you'll have lesser distance to cover when approaching your target.
