How to Use Finishing Moves in call of Duty Modern Warfare

Finishing moves are glorified executions that you should only consider making use of if you’re enemy or opponent is either unaware of your presence or completely stunned.

Finishing moves are pretty simple to pull off, though. Just hold down the melee button as you approach an enemy and the animation sequence will automatically trigger.

Your melee attack is R3 on both PS4 and Xbox One, while on PC it’s either mouse button 5 or E depending on your settings. Just remember to hold the button down rather than tap it quickly, otherwise you’ll just do a basic melee attack instead.

That should be everything you need to know about how to use finishing moves in Call of Duty Modern Warfare. For more useful tips and guides on the game, be sure to check out Twinfinite’s ever-expanding guide wiki page.
