One player has yet again managed to prove that you can level up in Call of Duty any way you like as long as you have enough patience and determination.
After 19.5 hours, 111 games, and a 1.92 W/L ratio, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 player Pilgore1 revealed that they have managed to reach Prestige 1 without getting a single kill. «Pacifism will always be a legitimate strategy,» Pilgore1 said in a Reddit post.
Not getting a single kill in Black Ops 6 multiplayer doesn't seem like a hard feat—plenty of my teammates would probably excel in this challenge—but the impressive achievement comes from actually reaching level 55 and winning matches despite no kills. «It was definitely risky at the start (previous games), and I got lucky a few times,» Pilgore1 said in an interview with IGN. «I'd throw a Decoy grenade, and it would sometimes hit somebody.
Luckily, it never got me a kill (yet). I've gotten much better at being careful after doing this for 51 Prestiges now. There's almost no worry about it happening in this game, as the Spy Cam has replaced Decoys for me.» While there's clearly a lot of skill that goes into achieving a 1.92 W/L ratio while not killing a single person, Pilgore1 does admit that some game modes are easier than others.
Hardpoint and Domination are easier to win without having to get any kills because they are objective-based modes, and as long as you actually play the objective, you can be pretty successful.
