Call of Duty: Modern Warfare killstreaks are back, huzzah! Killstreaks are the rewards you earn for managing to kill a certain number of enemy players without dying. The higher the requirement for the killstreak is, the more powerful it tends to be. These aren’t always pure firepower though, sometimes it’s a strong tactical advantage instead of simply using a big gun to take out your foes.
You can unlock more of these powerful abilities by leveling up in multiplayer, but you can only equip three at a time. So, here is the full list of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare killstreaks so you can plan your perfect loadout.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare killstreaks
Each of these rewards are split into how many kills it takes to use them in battle, and we’ve even listed what level they unlock at. Do keep in mind that there is a perk that allows you to use these game changing bits of kit one kill earlier, so that might be worth using if you like to try and get an advantage.
