éliminer (un adversaire)
Explanation:
Alternative à "tuer", qui est un peu cru à mon gout.
C'est un terme qui a l'avantage d'être plus générique, il peut s'appliquer aussi à des véhicules, des robots, etc.

disagree  Daryo: too literal - you need more context - in "casino" games you don't chase characters to "kill 'em all" // "to get a kill" could also simply be a winning hand in some card games, or even to "sink a ship" in the minefield game [tuer un navire??]

faites un kill


Explanation:
Je sais que c'est un anglicisme horrible, mais si nous sommes dans un contexte de FPS (jeu vidéo où vous êtes "dans la peau" d'un personnage et le but est de tuer vos adversaires) où de certains autres jeux vidéos, on utilise en français l'expression "faire un kill".
