Kills from behind camo challenges in MW4

This page tracks the "Kills from behind" camo challenge in MW4 across the weapons listed on our site. Requirements differ by class: Assault Rifle and SMG entries ask for kills from behind in Multiplayer, Pistols ask for a lower count, and the Combat Knife sits behind a full completion gate.

Every value marked unverified is community-reported pre-launch data, so treat those counts as provisional until confirmed.

Flank wide routes and let enemies pass before you strike from their blind side.
Use footsteps and teammate fire to mask your approach before closing in.
On objective modes, circle the capture point so defenders turn their backs to you.
