Master the 'Kill An Enemy With The Knife & Survive' objective in Counter-Strike: Condition Zero. Learn strategies for close-quarters combat and knife takedowns.

Alright, let's talk about how to get that tricky knife kill and survive in Counter-Strike: Condition Zero. This is often one of the last objectives, and it can be a bit nerve-wracking, but we'll get you through it. The core idea is to get up close and personal without getting yourself killed in the process.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    First off, when you spawn, you'll be on a rooftop. Your goal here is to use the AWP (Magnum Sniper Rifle) to pick off enemies. If you manage to wound an enemy with the AWP but don't quite finish them off, switch to your Nighthawk (.45 Tactical AKA Deagle) to finish the job. This helps you complete the sniper rifle objective.
  2. 2
    After that, you'll want to buy a Colt (Maverick M4A1 Carbine). Head back to the roof where you spawned, but this time, take a left and walk along the edge.
  3. 3
    Keep going straight until you see an overturned car. After passing the car, make a right and continue straight until you reach the very end.
  4. 4
    Hold your position here. Enemies will start to appear, and you can take them down. The bombsite is actually located down a corridor behind you.
  5. 5
    Now, for the knife part. The easiest time to get a knife kill is when an enemy is busy planting the bomb. They're usually distracted and a bit slower to react.
  6. 6
    If that opportunity doesn't present itself, try this: find a box or some cover to hide behind. Wait for an enemy to get close, then burst out and try to stab them. They often hesitate for a second before firing, giving you a small window to land the hit.
Tips
  • Make sure you buy the right gear. The guide mentions buying an AWP, Nighthawk, Kevlar + Helm, and a Defuse Kit to start.
  • Don't be afraid to use your secondary pistol (like the Nighthawk) to finish off enemies you've wounded with your primary weapon.
  • The knife kill relies a lot on timing and surprise. Don't just run straight at them; try to flank or use cover to get the drop on them.
  • Remember that the default Terrorist weapon is the 9x19MM Sidearm (Glock) and the CT default is the KM .45 Tacticle (USP). Knowing what they're likely to have can help you anticipate their moves.
  • The Night Hawk .50C (Deagle) is the only pistol that can shoot through boxes, which might be useful in certain situations.
