What are Assault Kills?

Kills Against Enemies Who are Defending Objectives

Modern Warfare 3 - Kills Against Enemies Who are Defending Objectives

Assault Kills can be obtained by killing enemies who are defending objectives that are already captured. Kills on the objective while the icon is not red will not count as Assault Kills.

Take note that you cannot get Assault Kills in Hardcore modes!

How to Get Assault Kills

Play Hard Point Game Mode

Modern Warfare 3 - Play Hard Point Game Mode

The best game mode for getting Assault Kills is Hardpoint because capture points constantly shift between teams. This gives you plenty of opportunities to score Assault Kills.

Other objective game modes like Domination and Control also work but you'll get less Assault Kills because of the slower pace.

Wait for the Objective Icon to Turn Red

Modern Warfare 3 - Wait for Objective Icon to Turn Red

Before heading to the objectives, make sure to let enemies get the capture points first. Once the objective icon is red, you can proceed to look for gun fights near the capture point.
