How to get 30 operator kills with AOK 4.0x RQ-9 Recon in MW3

There’s always something new to do in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, such as weekly challenges like getting operator kills with specific weapons or attachments.

One of the multiplayer weekly challenges in season one, week seven is to use something called an AOK 4.0x RQ-9 Recon to get operator kills in MW3. This is a big week for challenges because completing five rewards the TAQ Evolvere LMG, so many are wondering what this AOK thing is.

Here are the details on one of CoD: MW3’s newest challenges.

What is AOK 4.0x RQ-9 Recon in MW3?

The AOK 4.0x RQ-9 Recon is an optic attachment in MW3. It can be found between the TOS Nightfall 2.5x Thermal Optic and the TX4 Havoc within the Optic slot on many guns, including assault rifles.

The optic has 4.0x magnification and no sniper glint but also lessens your Aim Walking Speed and Aim Down Sight Speed, and it has a carat-style reticle so it’s a pretty solid scope overall.

Simply equip the AOK 4.0x RQ-9 Recon scope on a Recommended Weapon (any weapon with the red flame icon next to it in the armory) and pick up kills in multiplayer. I used the Holger 556 as it’s my favorite AR in MW3.

On Season One Reloaded launch, it appeared the challenge is bugged for many. No matter how many kills you get, they will not count toward the challenge for some players. It’s unsurprising, since a lot of the game experienced issues on launch day as evidenced by numerous known bugs and issues within both MW3 and Warzone.

On Jan. 18, Activision confirmed that the challenge is bugged and said that players can instead use the KR INTLAS LSJ-3 scope in the meantime until a fix is deployed.

Update on Jan. 19 at 8:30am CT: The bug has now been fixed and the challenge can be completed as described.
