In Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, Tactical Nukes are a way to impress opponents and secure a match. However, after the match, not much of the success remains. That could change soon.
What was announced? In a reddit thread, a developer from Infinity Ward revealed that they are currently working on special emblems or calling cards for Tactical Nukes.
User RageDriver2401 suggested that a “John Rambo” card could be introduced in Modern Warfare as a special reward. Another user added to this idea by noting that it would be a perfect reward for a Nuke.
The Art Director of the game then mentioned that this type of reward is already being worked on:
This is something we are working on and want to bring into the game. However, there is still no exact timeline for it.
Have there been such rewards before? Yes, previous games in the “Call of Duty” series featured special, animated emblems and calling cards for Tactical Nukes.
It was therefore expected that such rewards would also make it into Modern Warfare, and players in the thread are excited about the announcement.
Tactical Nukes are highlights for players
What is a Tactical Nuke? To achieve a Tactical Nuke, a player must get 30 kills in a row without dying. However, only kills with weapons count, not with killstreaks or vehicles. So it’s not an easy task.
When a Tactical Nuke is activated, a 10-second timer begins, which ends the game with a massive explosion. In almost all game modes, this automatically leads to victory for the faction that activated the Nuke.
Particularly fast Nukes are possible on the map Shipment because it is very small. This has also led to special records with 183 kills in one match.
Why is such a reward interesting? Tactical Nukes are a special reward for skill in a match. However, after the victory, there is nothing to prove that one has achieved such a Nuke.
A special emblem or card would change this, as players could permanently showcase their success.
Some special emblems and calling cards can also be earned via the Battle Pass of Season 1.
