ACall of Duty: Warzone 2player brings their experience inSplinter CellandAssassin’s Creedinto the battle royale to get stealth kills. MostCall of Duty: Warzone 2kills involve frenetic firefights, but this player used stealth and a knife instead.
Warzone 2’s mechanics are not, of course, built around stealth in the same way that theSplinter CellandAssassin’s Creedseries are. In both of those series, there is a lot more emphasis on being stealthy and catching enemies off guard to get surprise kills. While the game is usually played in a much less stealthy manner,Warzone 2does let players use finishing movesto get stealth kills. It takes good positioning and skill to successfully pull off a finishing move, so it’s not the easiest way to take enemies down.

In a clip posted to theCall of Duty: Warzone 2subreddit, player Carnivul showcased their impressive sneaking skills. The video begins with a voiceover saying, “This is what happens when aSplinter CellandAssassin’s Creedplayer tries outCall of Dutythird person.” Carnivul crouches by a skylight as an enemy passes by beneath them, then they jump down and use their finishing move to assassinate the unsuspecting player. The dead player alerts his teammate that someone just killed him, and Carnivul sprints away. He climbs up onto the roof of a nearby building and spots the second enemy in a nearby window. In a move straight out of anAssassin’s Creedgameplay video, Carnivul jumps from the roof into the window and dashes behind the second enemy player for a brutal finishing move kill.
Getting one kill on an unsuspecting enemy with a finishing move already makes for a cool clip, although it’s not uncommon. The getaway and parkour to secure the second stealth kill are what really elevates Carnivul’s clip to the next level though. In the past,Call of Duty: Warzoneplayers have expressed concerns about meleein the game, but this clip doesn’t show any sort of abuse of the melee system, instead showcasing some tactical creativity and skill.
A lot ofCall of Dutyplayers focus more on fast-paced and aggressive gameplay and often deride players who go for a stealthier or slower-paced game as campers. Funnily enough, during a Halloween event,Call of Dutydeveloper Activision even called camping cowardicesince the game mode involved a fear meter that filled up when players weren’t playing aggressively enough. While this criticism might be valid for some instances of slower and stealthier play, Carnivul’s skillful assassinations are a lot more dynamic than what most players see as camping.
Call of Duty: Warzone 2is available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
