The Free Kick Finishing Move in MW3 and Warzone was added in the Season 5 update and is available exclusively via the Season 5 Battle Pass. It's one of the few comical Finishing Moves in the games. When it's executed, the Operator will knock their opponents to the ground, followed by a kick to the head that sends their body flying through the sky. The entire animation of seeing players fly is quite hilarious.

This guide takes a closer look at how to unlock Free Kick Finishing Move in MW3 and Warzone.

To get your hands on it, follow the undermentioned steps to unlock the Free Kick Finishing Move in MW3 and Warzone and equip it:

First, purchase the Season 5 Battle Pass. The base variant will do, which costs 1100 CP. Note that it is not a free unlock.
Next, reach Sector 12. The shortest route to it is through Sectors 1, 3, 5, and 9, in that order.
Now, earn one Battle Pass token by playing a few matches. Alternatively, if you're short on time, you can buy one Battle Pass token for 150 CP, but it is not advised to do so.
Use the Battle Pass token to unlock the Free Kick Operator Finishing Move. It is the fourth reward from the left in Sector 12. You can directly unlock it once you reach Sector 12 and need not unlock the previous rewards in the Sector.
Now to equip it, head over to the Operator menu and select your preferred Operator with whom you wish to equip the Finishing Move.
Select the Operator Skin for that Operator and open up the Finishing Move menu. On PC you can press 5 to open the Finishing Move menu instantly.
From the list of unlocked Finishing Moves, look up Free Kick and equip it.

That's it. The Finishing Move is now unlocked and equipped with your Operator of choice. Now, all that remains for you to do is to head over to a match and see the comical animation in action.

To perform a Finishing Move in MW3 and Warzone, get behind an unsuspecting enemy or approach a knocked-out player and hold the Melee button. Doing so will execute the Free Kick Finishing Move, kicking your opponent into oblivion.
