It doesn’t matter if your game is Call of Duty: Black Ops 3, Star Wars Battlefront, Destiny, or even The Division — it doesn’t even matter if you play shooters at all. We can all appreciate the next-level skills required to pull off something truly epic in all these games.
From single-handed team aces (that means killing every single person on the enemy team) in Rainbow Six Siege to Luke Skywalker decimating entire armies of players in Battlefront, we’ve got some of the most awe-inspiring plays and kill streaks from today’s hottest shooters. Take a look, and see if you can do better.
1. Luke Skywalker plays the long game in Star Wars Battlefront
The best kill streaks don’t have to be all-at-once affairs. They can be slow burns. In this video, VELOCIRaPTORxlx takes out 62 stormtroopers in three minutes and 30 seconds playing as Luke Skywalker. That’s 17 kills per minute.
The heroes and villains in Battlefront give even halfway decent players the opportunity to be a wrecking ball for a few minutes, but in the hands of a truly great player, they’re nearly unstoppable. This video is proof.
Sometimes heroes really live up to their reputations, it seems. That said, we’re not sure the real Luke Skywalker would do this much jumping. It’s a lot of jumping, man.
2. Flanking the enemy for 22 kills in just over a minute
Battlefield Hardline’s battles can descend into total mayhem, and that confusion presents prime opportunities for a smart player to tear the enemy to pieces. In this case, the enemy team is so preoccupied with assaulting this building that they’re not watching their flank, which player e5mikey is all too happy to exploit.
In the chaos, he manages to kill 22 people in barely over a minute before the enemy finally takes him down. His voice chat teammates cheer in awe of his skills. So, next time you’re playing Battlefield, reconsider the frontal assault. A tactic like this might really get you somewhere.
3. 100+ kills in Black Ops 3, and some tips on how to do it
Call of Duty veterans know that it’s a bit harder to game Black Ops 3 for massive kill counts in each match than it has been in other recent entries in the series. That’s why it’s all the more impressive that SSSniperWolf did it.
She’s not the only one, but we like this video because she explains some of her kill streak selection strategies that have contributed to her success. So in this case, you get to watch some awesome plays and learn something.
4. They can’t even get in the door
Serenity17 denied entry to the enemy team in Rainbow Six Siege with lethal efficiency. This one is a cautionary take for Rainbow Six players on the offensive — don’t bunch up three people to the door. One block of C4 thrown through a hole took out three out of five players in one blast. The rest was mop-up duty.
Sometimes the shortest Rainbow Six matches are the most satisfying. A total lockout feels really good from inside the building. It might not be as fun for the men and women trying to break in, though.
5. When it’s your Destiny, it all lines up
Sometimes the stars fall into alignment, the enemies come around the corner at the perfect time with just the right amount of health remaining, and you become a wrecking ball of awesomely satisfying death.
That’s what happened to Blaze Hawk in this game-ending Destiny kill streak. It’s like the enemy team stepped onto two conveyor belts, one leading into the barrel of Blaze Hawk’s gun and one into the tip of Blaze Hawk’s knife.
6. Extracting a whole lot of kills in the extraction zone
Few things are more exciting than a knock-down, drag-out extraction melee in The Division’s post-apocalyptic Dark Zone.
In case you’re not familiar with The Division’s endgame, players are sent to a region of Midtown Manhattan called the Dark Zone where any gear they pick up can be dropped and stolen by other players on death — that is, unless they can get it to the helicopter for extraction.
This results in some seriously nasty firefights when an extraction is taking place. Everyone is trying to steal everyone else’s loot. This player comes out more than okay at the end, but it’s a zero-sum game, so the body count is high.
7. Kilimanjaro
Halo multi-kill pwnage has been going on for 15 years now, and the announcer has always added some additional satisfaction for those who can dominate the field.
In this game, Halo 5 player FatRat rips through everyone who crosses his path using only his pistol and the sniper rifle. And in case you’re wondering about the name, “Killimanjaro” is the pun name of a medal awarded to Halo players for taking out seven opponents within just a few seconds.
It’s also referenced in this hilarious comedy send-up of Halo’s announcer, and the perfect, light-hearted chaser after a spree of watching the rest of the surgical in-game murder above.
