The Tac-Stance mechanic introduced in MW3 is difficult to master, and killing enemies with it is required to unlock some of the best camos in the game. Here’s how to get Tac-Stance kills and the best class configuration for it.
MW3 is a faster version of MW2, and Sledgehammer Games addressed many issues like the removal of the slide cancel mechanic. The Tac-Stance was also introduced as a middle ground between ADS and hip-fire.
Mastering this new mechanic using a mouse, keyboard, or controller is no easy feat. If you are a camo hunter, you will aim to unlock every single camo for every weapon in the game. Tac-Stance is required to complete some of those challenges.
Here’s how to master this new way to aim and get Tac-Stance kills in MW3 for camo challenges.

To get Tac-Stance kills in MW3, you must first configure the aiming option from the game settings. Once that’s done, players will need to jump into multiplayer matches using their desired configuration for Tac-Stance and start killing enemies.
Tac-Stance can be enabled by pressing down on the D-pad while aiming, or the ADS button + V on PC by default. Remember you can change it in settings to adjust it to your gameplay style, so try your best and start working on those kills.
Here are some of the best tactics you can use to master the new mechanic in MW3:
- Don’t run and shoot: Tac-Stance requires more accuracy, so always try to slow down first and shoot later.
- Use Tactical Equipment: Using Tactical equipment such as Stun Grenades is a great option for distracting enemies while you shoot them in Tac-Stance.
- Spot enemies first: Don’t go around running with Tac-Stance on, try to spot your enemy and hunt them down from a tactical position.

MW3: Best mode for easy Tac-Stance kills

MW3 has many Hardcore modes where getting Tac-Stance kills is easier, but be careful, enemies are weaker and so are you. The best modes to play while using Tac-Stance are:
- Free For All
- Kill Confirmed
- Domination
Hardcore versions of these modes put you and your enemies with less HP on the field, so getting Tac-Stance kills in these will be easier. Also, smaller maps with frequent interactions like Rust, Scrapyard, and Terminal are the best for Tac-Stance kills.
