The "Get 3 Operator Kills after Death" challenge in MW3 is a part of the Season 4 Week 4 challenges. The task is pretty self-explanatory and it expects the player to get three kills after they have died. Upon completing the challenge, players will be rewarded with 7500 XP. Although the challenge is simple on paper, it can be quite difficult to complete in Multiplayer.

Hence, in this brief guide, we'll take a closer look at some of the ways you will be able to complete the "Get 3 Operator Kills after Death" challenge in MW3 easily.

Guide to completing "Get 3 Operator Kills after Death" challenge in MW3

There are two proven ways of completing the "Get 3 Operator Kills after Death" challenge in MW3. Both of them involve using Lethal Equipment. But before we begin with the challenge, it is recommended to equip the Modular Assault Rig or the Demolition Vest, as these Vests will give you two Lethal Equipment from the start.

With that out of the way, here's how you can complete "Get 3 Operator Kills after Death" challenge in MW3 easily:

Claymores or Proximity Mine

Claymores or Proximity Mine can be lethal and is one of the best ways to get those Afterlife kills in Modern Warfare 3. Follow these steps to use this method correctly:

Begin by loading into a match of Domination or Hardpoint with Claymore or Proximity Mine equipped.
Once spawned in, head over to the objective location and drop both the Claymores or Proximity Mine in high-traffic areas, preferably in the routes leading to the objective.
Stand behind Claymores or Proximity Mine at a distance and wait for an incoming enemy to take you out. Do not fight back.
As soon as they go up to the objective, they will trigger the Claymores or Proximity Mine and eliminate them.

That's it. Make sure that you do not spam the spawn button as soon as you die and wait for the Killcam to end. This will provide you with enough time window for your enemies to get hit by the Claymores or Proximity Mines.

Sticky Grenades or Semtex

Rather than the regular Frag Grenades, it is recommended to use the Semtex for completing the "Get 3 Operator Kills after Death" challenge in MW3. Here is how you can do so:

Drop into a match of your choice with Semtex in your loadout.
Use your Lethal Equipment button to cook the Semtex.
Head over to high-traffic areas such as objective sites or routes where players often fight.
Drop throw the Semtex at those sites near enemies. Make sure to throw it before you get killed as it is almost certain that you will get killed in the high-traffic areas.

That's it. This will get you the required kills in no time. As already mentioned, make sure that you do not spam the spawn button and wait for the Killcam to conclude.

That covers everything that you need to know about completing "Get 3 Operator Kills after Death" challenge in MW3. These are only some of the ways to get this challenge done and there are endless ways of completing it. That said, however, using these two methods will allow you to try for those kills in every match, unlike the other methods that involve relying on a Killstreak or Assisted Suicides.

To ensure that your kill has counted towards the challenge, keep an eye out for the "Afterlife" message after getting a kill. If you do get the message, that kill will count and you will progress with the challenge.
