Getting Registered Kills Shortly After Sprinting in BO6 Multiplayer

Despite the challenge’s straightforward title, some players have struggled with getting kills shortly after sprinting in Black Ops 6 for a couple of reasons: 1) The game doesn’t clarify what “shortly” means, and 2) the new omnimovement and auto-tac sprinting settings have made landing these kills a bit more complicated.

This guide will explain how to secure sprinting kills in Black Ops 6’s chaotic multiplayer maps, ensure all your kills are registered, and offer tips for optimizing your loadout for this challenge.

How to Get Kills Shortly After Sprinting

To complete this challenge, you need to eliminate an enemy within one or two seconds after stopping your sprint. Since the challenge specifies getting kills “after” sprinting, your operator must be standing, walking, or running—not sprinting—when you make the kill.

If your kills after sprinting aren’t registering, it’s likely because the time between stopping your sprint and getting the kill is too long. While the game doesn’t specify an exact timeframe, most tests suggest you have a brief one to two-second window to secure the elimination.

Best Settings for the Sprinting Kill Challenge

• Sprint Assist: On or Tactical Sprint
• Sprint Behavior: Hold
• Sprint Restore: Off

To optimize your running for the sprint kill camo challenge, adjust your Sprint Assist settings to “On” or “Tac Sprint” to replace normal running with sprinting. You can also enable Sprint Restore and set Sprint Behavior to Hold, allowing your operator to stop and start shooting as soon as you aim down sight.

Your kills will only register if you get them “after” sprinting, so ensure you’re not running when you shoot the enemy. The settings mentioned will ensure your sprint ends as soon as you aim your gun by disabling the default “Sprint Restore” feature.

Best Game Mode and Map for the Sprinting Kill Camo Challenge

• Game Mode: Face Off Moshpit
• Match Type: Domination
• Map: Warhead or Stakeout

Small maps let you sprint freely without worrying about enemy locations. In these areas, you’re likely to encounter enemies no matter which direction you sprint, making it easier to complete the “get kills shortly after sprint” challenge.

The Face Off Moshpit mode is ideal for this, as it features compact battle zones like Warhead and Stakeout. We recommend playing Domination, as other modes like Team Deathmatch can be too quick on these small maps, leaving you with insufficient time to complete the challenge.

Play the game on Hard mode to increase your chances of securing sprint kills. In this mode, enemies’ HP depletes much faster.

Best Loadout for the Challenge

The sprinting kill challenge demands agility, so for an optimized loadout, equip the Gung-Ho perk to enhance your speed. Additionally, add a grip and stock to your weapon to improve the sprint-to-fire rate. Include any attachments that reduce the weapon’s time to kill (TTK) in your loadout.
