Every New and Old Killstreak in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Explained

Sledgehammer announced Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 to hit the stores on November 10. With the launch of the game approaching soon, the devs have already launched an open beta for players to test the game out. The remake of the original 2011 game is set to bring back many fun features from the original game. Players will get to experience the return of many beloved features from the original MW3.

When players think of the best features from Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3, the first thing that comes to their minds is the Killstreak feature. This feature has always been a driving mechanic for the multiplayer mode in CoD. That being said, fans are wondering if the feature will make a comeback in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3.

Will fans get to see the return of Killstreaks in Call of Duty MW3?

Sledgehammer has worked on bringing back some of the most popular features from the original game. Many fans are excited about the return of infamous weapons like the ACR. On the other hand, some fans hope for the return of the Killstreaks in PvP game modes. During the open beta of the game, many players got to experience the comeback of killstreaks and also got to see a new feature.

In the upcoming Modern Warfare 3, it is confirmed from the open beta that the killstreaks will make a return to the game. Although most of the mechanics will remain the same, there will be some changes to the feature. Killstreaks are rewards obtained by achieving multiple eliminations without dying. Players can equip three Killstreaks at a time, and they range from powerful air support to revealing enemy locations. In Modern Warfare 3, Killstreaks do not earn kills that contribute to the streak, unlike what was seen in the prequel.

Modern Warfare 3 introduces Scorestreaks, which allow players to unlock rewards not only through kills but also by assisting and capturing objectives. The required score for Scorestreaks is slightly higher than for Killstreaks.

New Killstreaks included in the game

The Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 beta features eight Killstreaks, each with unique capabilities and score requirements. Here is the complete list of the Killstreaks along with their descriptions and the required skills:

1. UAV: UAV recon ship that reveals enemy locations on the minimap. (4 kills / 500 score)
2. Mosquito Drone: Explosive drone that circles the area around where the drone is launched. Dive bombs on enemies it spots and explodes. (4 kills / 500 score)
3. Sam Turret: Launch a targeted missile strike against air vehicles. (4 kills / 500 score)
4. Guardian-SC: A beam-shaped, nonlethal, area-denial weapon. Enemies entering the beam endure similar effects to a stun grenade, such as reduced movement speed, blurred vision, and removed UI. (5 kills / 625 score)
5. Counter-UAV: A drone that scrambles all enemy minimaps. (5 kills / 625 score)
6. SAE: Call in a trio of jets to release aerial explosives onto specified targets. (7 kills / 875 score)

There is a possibility of developers releasing new rewards for Killstreaks in the game. However, in the open beta, only the aforementioned 9 have been implemented. As the new game comes close, players can get ready to dive into some classic COD action.
