Finishing Move

Finishing Moves, also known as Executions, are a player mechanic featured in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, Call of Duty: Warzone, Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, Call of Duty: Vanguard, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II, Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0, Call of Duty: Mobile, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III, and Call of Duty: Black Ops 6. They allow a player to enter a third-person view and perform an elaborate kill animation on an enemy. Finishing Moves are not available in the Campaign modes, though they feature a similar mechanic called Takedowns. Finishing Moves are also not available in Zombies modes, except for Modern Warfare III, in which they are only usable on Terminus Outcomes Mercenaries.
Finishing Moves are executed by holding down the melee button while facing behind a player or AI enemy. They will be cancelled if either person dies, and anyone victim to a Finishing Move may remain alive if the attacker is killed before the Finishing Move is completed. Each Finishing Move has different variations when used on either standing, prone, or downed enemies.
Included in several Finishing Moves are additional characters or objects known as "pets" or "companions", which will carry out the kill animation instead of the player, including dogs, zombies, hyenas, and an RC-XD. Additionally, "pets" will travel alongside the player's selected operator in the lobby menu.
==Call of Duty: Modern Warfare==
After a Finishing Move is completed, the Operators, except for Mil-Sim, will say a line specific to them that may be chosen in the Quips menu.
Most Modern Warfare Finishing Moves are unique to specific Operators while some can be applied to any of them. Finishing Moves are unlocked via Missions, the Battle Pass, and various store items. Performing 25 Finishing Moves will unlock the operator Krueger.

Unlike Modern Warfare, Finishing Moves in Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War are not tied to any specific operator, and instead are all universal. The only Finishing Move that is available by default is "Sneak Attack", while additional Finishing Moves are available in various store items and the Battle Pass. Instead of Quips, each Finishing Move has a specific line to be said after completion, regardless of operator choice. Performing 15 Finishing Moves will unlock the Operator Stone.

Finishing Moves return in Modern Warfare II, and are no longer tied to rarity. They are also universal (with certain exceptions), though the majority of them are associated with unlocking individual operators. When performed, Finishing Moves will also hide the UI until the animation is complete. Finishing Moves with firearms can also use the player's equipped gun, provided that it is of the same weapon type as the Finishing Move's default weapon. Performing one Finishing Move will unlock König.

==Trivia==
===General=== 
*It is possible to perform a Finishing Move on a player who is already performing one. The victim of the initial Finishing Move will not die in this case.
*All Finishing Move animations take four seconds to complete, with the exception of a few taking three (such as "Pierce the Jug" in Modern Warfare and "Sardaukar Wrath" in Modern Warfare II).
**However, different Finishing Moves take different amounts of time to actually kill the victim, as indicated by the red hitmarker, with some taking until the end and others taking less time than the whole animation.
*Any Finishing Move that involves a firearm will produce blips on an enemy's compass, despite not being normal use of the gun. 
**Prior to a patch in Modern Warfare, a player with any one of these Finishing Moves equipped would be able to use the weapon while on a ladder.
*Using a Finishing Move on a cliff, ledge or stairs may result in either players falling, canceling the action.
===Call of Duty: Modern Warfare=== 
*Operators of the same faction tend to share the same forms of combat in their Finishing Moves.
*The preview images for Finishing Moves may show versions of Operators that do not reflect their default appearance.
*The "Hello Stranger" Finishing Move is a direct reference to Roach's death at the hands of Shepherd in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.
*The prone version of Krueger's "Knife To Meet You" Finishing Move is a direct reference to an action scene in the film .
*The name of the "Payback" Finishing Move is a reference to the Black Ops mission Payback.
===Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War===
*During Finishing Moves that utilize a Sledgehammer, some of the victim's teeth can be observed flying out.
*Prior to Season Three, Finishing Move preview icons featured Woods performing them on Vargas while the preview videos showcased Stone attacking Hunter. After Season Three, both preview icons and videos were changed to feature the season's Battle Pass operator attacking Hunter.
**With Season Six and post-Season content, the attacker is Mason or Stitch.
**Any Finishing Move that involves a crossover character however will feature them as the attacker.
===Call of Duty: Vanguard=== 
*Certain finishing moves such as "Steel Cut" or "Eternal Hunger" come with special dismemberment effects on the victim. Strangely, these are not displayed in the preview for the finishing move.
*The "Blocker Remover" and "Terminated" finishing moves are available universally for all Vanguard Operators in Warzone.
===Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II=== 
*Certain Finishing Moves, especially those with firearms, will use the player's currently equipped gun if applicable.
*During the Multiplayer Open Beta, knives would be seen on Finishing Moves using pistols if the player had one equipped.
*Upon close inspection, Finishing Moves utilizing firearms may have operator models not utilizing the triggers of their firearms.
*Enemy Agents will not be alerted by unsuppressed gunshots that occur within Finishing Moves.
*Up until Season One, Finishing Moves in Multiplayer would default to the "Punctual Puncture" finisher.
**All Finishing Moves prior to that point worked in Special Ops.
*The "Timber!" Finishing Move was originally named "Chopping Block", which overlaps with the Finishing Move acquired from unlocking Conor.
*Voice lines for Finishing Moves were added during the Season Two Reloaded update.
*As of Season Five, Butch and the Competitors are the only Operators in the game who do not have unique Finishing Move unlocks associated.
*Although the "Snoop Hustle" Finishing Move is exclusive to Snoop Dogg, it was able to be applied universally for all Operators by selecting it via the bundle page. This was fixed with the Season Five Reloaded update.
*The "Tactical Pet: Merlin" Finishing Move was originally called "Bark and Bite" before being renamed with the Season Five Reloaded update.
*When equipping any Tactical Pet finishing move and the High Alert perk, the pet will growl in-game when the perk is triggered.
*Oni's "Bloody Percussionist" finishing move was given dismemberment effects following his release on all platforms.
*Despite the "Point and Shoot" execution requiring any skin of Ghost to unlock, acquiring the "Golden Phantom" skin will not unlock the execution.
===Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III===
*Finishing Moves with firearms that use your personal weapon will apply their respective tracers and death effects if it has them.
*The "Send in The Good Boy" Finishing Move was initially revealed in a blog post under the name "Goose". It is intended to be the name of Kate Laswell's pet dog featured in the Finishing Move.
**The preview icon for this Finishing Move, however, features Ghost instead of Laswell. The Battle Pass preview model of the Finishing Move still shows Laswell.
*The "Double Barrel Disrespect" Finishing Move will always use the "Steely Gaze BlackCell" Lockwood 300 Blueprint, even if the player equips other blueprints for this gun or other Shotguns.
*Originally, the "Get Wrecked" Finishing Move was not listed as unlockable with Warrior, despite being included in his bundle. This was fixed following an unknown update.
*The "You Can't Kill Me" Finishing Move is a reference to the "sitting bull" pose, often seen in promotional artwork of the Black Ops games. The name of the Finishing Move is also a reference to Frank Woods' iconic line.
*The "Riptide", "The Chair!", "Powerbomb", "Cross Rhodes" and "Mysterio Bulldog" Finishing Moves feature commentary voicelines from WWE commentator .
===Call of Duty: Black Ops 6===
*During the Open Beta, preview videos were available for the two default Finishing Moves. Following the release of Season One, each Finishing Move can be previewed in each Operator's customization menu in real-time.
*All of the Finishing Move preview icons feature Marshall as the performer and Stone as the victim. In the actual previews, the game uses either the player's currently equipped Operator as the performer, or the featured Operator if previewed via a bundle containing an Operator skin. 
**In the Open Beta preview videos, Adler was seen as the performer for the Finishing Moves.
