How to unlock the Deadly Specialist achievement in Call of Duty: Black Ops III - Definitive Guide

When you first start multi-player on the game you will be asked to choose a specialist type and each of these specialists has their own weapon, for example the Ruin type has the gravity spikes, the Outrider has the Sparrow etc. What you need to do is get 3 kills in quick succession with these specialist weapon. I found doing this with the Sparrow on domination the easiest way as it has good long range and is also effective as an explosive.

Might be glitched? I got it after 1 Electrocution medal which is 2 quick kills. That's my only Specialist medal.

I had similar luck with the tempest in the way you stated above. Came up behind a group at a capture point and got three guys at once.

I only got two kills with the Tempest in SnD and was able to earn the achievement. Tempest and Gravity Spikes seem to be the easiest IMO.

This was pain. I did it with Tempest. Took me until level 18. It was a double kill.

Same thing here, I used the Tempest and shot someone in team deathmatch. There was another player right next to him, so I only killed 2, but the achievement popped.

I’d definitely recommend trying to get this achievement by using Tempest and getting a double kill. Got it on my first try

Can this be done in a private match?

Got a double kill with tempest as well and got the cheeve. Was wondering how the hell I'd get 3 kills with it! Glad I don't have to now ;)

I found the Sparrow ability useful for this. I gained the achievement on a game of 'Domination' on 'Breach'. When the opposite team are trying to capture point B (the point in the middle of the map in a small building), fire a few arrows in there and the explosions will kill everyone in that room.

Easiest specialists to earn this with are Tempest, and Hive. Tempest is like the Wunderwaffe from zombies, the bullets pretty much kill anyone in the vicinity with electricity. Hive is essentially a landmine thats super hard to see.

This must be done in a public match, you cannot do this in private match.

Each Specialist has a Specialist Weapon and Specialist Ability you can choose to use. You'll need to be using a Specialist Weapon to get this. Rapid kills are simply kills within a few seconds of each other, and you need at least three of them for this. This can be done with any Specialist Weapon, but the best ones to use for this are Ruin's Gravity Spikes, Prophet's Tempest and Reaper's Scythe. To give yourself a better chance to achieve this, play objective-based gamemodes like Domination or Safeguard where entire teams will be camping objectives.

If you're at least Level 20, you'll have access to Overclock, which is a perk, in the Perk 1 slot. This allows you to earn your Specialist Weapon or Specialist Ability faster, which will give you many more opportunities to do this.

Take the archer girl, activate the bow and take out three people. Or a specialist with MMH. Tripla is easy, because the gap between kills was made longer.

This can be done if you play in SECURITY mode (teams take turns escorting a non-combat robot into enemy territory). There are always 2-3 people with the robot, the main thing is to catch the right moment. Personally, I managed to do this on the Fringe map when I played as Ruin. Jumped from the building to the robot and stuck gravity spikes into the ground ( + ). The blast wave killed 2 enemies, and destroyed the third with a machine gun.

The easiest way to get it is to capture a point. My video
