Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 multiplayer is in full swing – with thousands of gamers now collecting Mastery Camos and heading towards that coveted Prestige emblem.

Obviously, to help you get there, Infinity Ward has a few tricks up its sleeve – which are called Killstreaks. These range from items such as UAV – which gives you approximations of enemy positions, to the all-powerful Tactical Nuke.

You can find out all about MW2 killstreaks right here, where we’ve pulled together a complete list of them. In short, the more people you kill in the multiplayer, the more XP you earn.

How Many Kills Is A Nuke in MW2?

To get the Tactical Nuke, or MGB (Mass Guided Bomb) requires a lot of skill, and probably even more luck. You’ll need to get 30 kills without dying (or a 30 kill streak) to get the Tactical Nuke in Modern Warfare 2. It was actually added after the initial launch, with the Juggernaut being the ultimate Killstreak before it came along.

Once called in, it gives you an automatic win – wiping out everybody else on the map.

If you achieve it, you’ll be rewarded with a 10-second countdown, followed by a huge mushroom cloud that engulfs the entire arena. The match will end instantly – and you can watch it in action here.

Happy hunting!
