Point Blank kills are required to earn specific Special Camos in Black Ops 6, so what are they and how do you get them?
If you're going for the Mastery Camos in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, you'll need to earn a variety of strange medals and kills. One of the tougher medals to earn for a camo challenge is Point Blank kills, which require you to get extremely up close and personal with enemies in Black Ops 6.
Point Blank kills have been a nuisance for thousands of players over the years in Call of Duty since they are a common challenge for camos. However, even if you're a seasoned camo veteran, you might need some help with Point Blanks in Black Ops 6, as they are particularly difficult to earn.
What are Point Blank kills in Black Ops 6?
Point Blank kills are fairly self-explanatory and haven't changed since they were originally introduced as a medal in Call of Duty. To earn Point Blanks, you need to kill an enemy when you are close enough to touch them in Black Ops 6.
The distance you need to be away from an enemy for a Point Blank to count is difficult to determine. Your gun must be on the enemy's back, side, or chest — depending on where you're facing them. If your gun can't touch the enemy, your kill likely won't count as a Point Blank.
It's important to remember that you can damage an enemy as much as you want from a longer range, but if you kill them at point-blank range, it will count as a Point Blank kill. This works the opposite way as well, though. If you damage an enemy a bunch at point-blank range but finish them at longer range, the kill won't count as a Point Blank kill.

- Equip stealthy class items - One of the best ways to earn Point Blank kills is to get behind enemy lines and kill them with their back turned to you. To do this more easily, you can equip class items such as Ghost, Ninja, a suppressor, and the Acoustic Amp Field Upgrade, to name a few.
- Use Flashbangs - Another way to go about getting Point Blank kills is to blind enemies and use the time they're blinded to get close and kill them. Flashbangs allow you to do this, and if you hit the enemy right, they'll be blinded for several seconds.
