Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is a brutal shooter where it’s all about kills – or is it? YouTuber “ThatFriendlyGuy” thinks differently and has reached Max Level 55 in less than 24 hours of gameplay without getting any kills. How is that even possible?
In Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, everyone is hunting for kills. Higher, further, better – or something like that. Even in game modes where kills are secondary to victory, casual Rambos rack up plenty of kills. This can often ruin the victory.
One wishes for teammates who focus more on the objective, collecting enemy tags in “Kill Confirmed”, holding the point in “Domination”, or at least checking the score briefly to see if they should help.
Sometimes it feels like these teammates do not exist. But YouTuber “ThatFriendlyGuy” proves: They do. Because he is the kind of teammate you wish for in every round with “Objective”, but never gets.

Player reaches Max Level without kills
YouTuber ThatFriendlyGuy set out to reach Max Level 55 in CoD MW2 without getting kills. Through the prestige system, you can even reach level 250, but at level 55, the maximum base level has been reached.
Fully motivated, he set to work, made a plan, and wanted to focus on the riot shield to protect himself from enemy fire. He quickly had to realize: Most gadgets that would have helped unlock only late – the shield only at level 37.
ThatFriendlyGuy recognized that “Kill Confirmed” and “Headquarters” are the best modes to gather the most XP as a pacifist in Call of Duty.
First, he acted as a ninja loot goblin, collecting tags from killed teammates and enemies in “Kill Confirmed”. For this, he “spot” enemies with binoculars – which earns points for spotting and when the spotted enemy is killed.
After unlocking the knife, his movement improved drastically and the decoy grenade was a “game changer” in terms of XP. Unfortunately, too many players know this:
After a tip from his community, he switched to the “Headquarters” mode. Here, you get many points for capturing the headquarters, and if you survive afterward, XP continuously stacks in your account.
With the unlocking of the riot shield, his playstyle changed completely. Now he could protect himself from fire, put pressure on enemies, and gather a lot of XP. He needed less than 24 hours of gameplay to reach level 55.

Everyone has their play style, and it is always interesting to see how some players take it to the next level. Even in the fiercely contested battle royale Warzone, there have already been pacifist victories: Streamer wins without a kill in CoD Warzone – Disguises as “filing cabinet”.
How would you implement the challenge in CoD? Are there challenges you set for yourself or your team when the current season is “finished”? Leave a comment on the topic.
