The most iconic killstreak in the Call of Duty franchise is the Tactical Nuke and it returns with a different name in Modern Warfare 3. However, the kill count to earn the streak has changed in recent years and you don’t want to chase the wrong number.
How to Get a Nuke in Modern Warfare 3
You need to get 30 kills without dying to earn a nuke in MW3. There is no mention of it in the killstreak section of the main menu and that’s because it’s technically a “secret” streak. As long as you can reach the 30-kill mark in a Multiplayer match, the Mass Guided Bomb (MGB) streak will appear on your screen for you to call in.
