Modern Warfare 3: How to Get a Tactical Nuke

The Tactical Nuke in Call of Duty is as iconic as the original callouts. I mean, who doesn’t rejoice when you hear the classic “Tactical Nuke, incoming” in various accents and tones? Modern Warfare 2 did introduce one killstreak that reached legendary status. Well, while you might think otherwise, the Tactical Nuke is present in Modern Warfare 3, although you won’t be able to select it. The “Nuke” is now called a Mass Guided Bomb, and all operators can use it freely.

You see, to get a Tactical Nuke “all” you need to do is to collect a total of 30 kills without dying. Now, that is easier said than done, after all, I even struggle to get three kills to get a mere UAV as a killstreak reward.

This kill tally will only count if you land weapon Operator kills, which means that killstreak kills will not count, making this extra hard. If the planets align and you manage to get 30 kills, you will receive the MGB killstreak. If you activate it, then nothing else matters. The MGB will drop after a countdown, and your team will be granted the victory regardless of the score.
