Executions are a fan-favorite feature in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. Players love the ability to sneak up behind an opponent and perform any number of epic moves, and with Modern Warfare bringing new animations in every season, the list of possibilities continues to grow.

That being said, executions don't come without a risk of their own. Players are immobile for the duration of an execution, making longer animations a higher risk endeavor. If a Modern Warfare player's execution animation is interrupted, be it that the executioner is shot or the victim is shot, then the animation immediately ends. In most cases, this is an annoying distraction, but this victim got a lucky result by interrupting their own slaughter.

In the video, Modern Warfare fan bashicrashi was rushing through the map of Rust when he came across a vulnerable player. Quickly he entered into the execution animation whacking him with a police baton and then moving to do a complete flip. What he didn't notice immediately was that the victim had dropped a grenade immediately beforehand. As the animation came to a conclusion bashicrashi explodes leaving his victim completely intact. Although it may not be a daring execution escape, it still served its purpose sparing the poor player's life.

Executions have a reputation of being the pinnacle of epic Modern Warfare combat. In general, they are easy to perform but the opportunity does not always make it's self noticeable. Some legendary players have won entire Warzone rounds using only executions, while others struggle to even succeed at one in a match.

The chances of the victim surviving are slim, and many fans in the comments bring up the fact that he did not die in the explosion. Whether using EOD or simply in the right spot at the right time, this lucky player was able to avoid being slaughtered. Still, they may have the right idea. When presented with the option of being executed dropping a grenade might not be a horrible counterplay.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Season 4 brought tons of new content into the game including new executions. As the game continues to grow fans will no doubt gather up a larger selection of brutal and punishing moves that will make campers think twice before posting up.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is available on PS4, PC, and Xbox One.
