Modern Warfare 3 Zombies and Multiplayer introduced a new tactical stance mechanic to the game. To promote this feature the developers have even added camo challenges that ask you to get tactical stance kills.
Tac stance is basically your character holding the gun in a position that’s midway between aim-down-sight (ADS) and hipfire, similar to thecanted lasersfrom MW2. It’s meant to provide better accuracy than hipfiring the weapon in specific scenarios like pushing a building.
How to get kills while in tactical stance in Modern Warfare 3 Zombies
To get kills while in tactical stance in MWZ, press theADS + Down Buttonon the D-pad on a controller andADS + Melee (V)on a keyboard. Tac stance activation can be seen in the image I’ve attached above. The iron sights icon at the bottom also indicates if you have it enabled.
The best way to get tactical stance kills in MW3 Multiplayer is in theHardcoreplaylist because the TTK is low and you may kill enemies in much fewer bullets than regular 6v6 modes. Furthermore, you should put on attachments that improve tactical stance spread, like theVX Pineapple underbarrel(see image).

You can also modify theTactical Stance Behavioroption to set how long the stance remains active. By default, it’s set toOn Toggle, which keeps tac stance until you press the input again. But you can change tac stance toOn Respawnto keep it until death orOnceif you want it active until the release of ADS input. I suggest sticking with the default settings while you’re completing any challenges.
