I have gotten over 150 nukes on PC (and only 2 on Xbox), using a variety of killstreaks. I usually use the 9-11-25 combo on PC, since that damn near always gets me the nuke. Once I get 9 kills it's over. I exploited the Javelin for most of these though. As for kills with my gun? Only about 20 came from 7+ gun streaks. Most of those 150 were from the Javelin and Scavenger Pro. But I can at least get 9 kills for a Pavelow on PC surprisingly consistent; maybe not as often as the Harriers, but I usually go all out with Pavelow, AC130, Nuke.

But on Xbox? I can't get a nuke to save my life. Everyone spams tubes and is a wannabe FaZe sniper, and it's damn near impossible to keep up.

Well I am going to show you all of my tips on PC I know of to get a nuke.

**Killstreaks.** Most people say to use the Harrier, but getting 7 kills nowadays is very hard as noobtubes and snipers run rampant on Xbox. And if you can get 7 kills easily these days, you're likely better off going all in with the much more powerful 9 kill Pavelow.

**Predator Missile, Chopper Gunner, Nuke 5-11-25.** If you suck at MW2, use this combo. With a OMA tactic, swapping to a Hardline class after your 5th kill, you may be able to get a 5 man multikill on Ground War. This isn't reliable and

**Pavelow, AC, Nuke 9-11-25.** If you're reading this and can get 7 kills easily, then you should just go all out and use the Pavelow instead. It's literally almost always a guaranteed nuke if you use this combo. I've gotten a nuke damn near every time I use 9-11-25.

**Harrier, AC/Chopper, Nuke 7-11-25.** Almost no one uses the other two combos and just defaults to this. I think that's a mistake. If you're not good enough for 7, use 5. If you're good enough for 7, use 9. The Harriers have frequently been shot down for me immediately and gotten me 0 kills, but the Pavelow never fails and Predator Missile can get me 3+ kills in Ground War easily. To me 7-11-25 is very overrated. If I was good enough on Xbox to get the Harrier consistently I would just go for 9.

**Perks.** I always run Scavenger Pro or One Man Army Pro for the extra magazine size (or, with OMA, ability to swap classes). Stopping Power Pro is essential for many guns like the ACR and Mini Uzi but there are some guns (most notably the UMP and WA2000) that don't need it. In that case, Cold Blooded Pro is much better and what I personally use for stealth. I like to get a TAR/UMP, Cold Blooded Pro, Scav Pro, and Ninja Pro for the ultimate stealth class.

If you want to go loud, I recommend the SCAR or RPD with FMJ (maybe Grip for RPD if you're not good at recoil control), Scavenger Pro, Stopping Power Pro (could use Hardline Pro for easier killstreaks), and SitRep Pro (buy a nice headset and soundwhore!). Get Claymores to weed out pesky Ninja Pro users.

If you don't use Ninja Pro (a surprising amount of people don't on Xbox) you're screwed if someone else runs SitRep Pro. I've been using headsets lately seeing how many people I can hear and you'd be surprised at the amount of players running something that isn't Ninja.

I think that poll is a bit depressing because SitRep Pro comes with so many benefits. On PC it's probably far less useful though, since the player base seems to use Ninja Pro a lot more frequently than on Xbox where many people opt for another perk.

But even then, having SitRep can mean the difference between shooting a Claymore through a wall with an FMJ RPD and killing an enemy vs a Ninja user walking right by a Claymore and being blown up.

Personally I still prefer Ninja Pro (22-0 on a poll, no one voted for SitRep Pro), but if you see me use any other yellow perk it'll be SitRep Pro.

Anyone have good ways to booby trap enemies? Sometimes Claymores just don't do enough...

One thought I had was to go to a flag and throw C4 down as the team starts to flip the spawns and then wait for the flag to begin being captured, then detonate it and see how many enemies get killed. I think I tried to do this before but it didn't get me many kills sadly...

I'm genuinely curious if it's even remotely plausible nowadays. 7 kills with just Claymores seems hard but I do tend to get quite a few Claymore kills from Ninja Pro rushers. Should've had SitRep!

(For the record I have 150+ nukes on PC but only 2 on Xbox).

My favorites:

Generosity: UAV, Care Package, Emergency Airdrop (but I give the packages to my teammates)

Mailman: Care Package, Emergency Airdrop, Stealth Bomber

Non-lethal: UAV, Counter UAV, EMP

Going for kills: Harrier, Pavelow, AC130

Airstrike fun: Precision Airstrike, Harrier, Stealth Bomber

I suck at MW2: UAV, Counter UAV, Predator Missile

Sweaty quickscoper: UAV, Harrier, Pavelow

I can still do it on IW4X but not on Xbox where every GW sniper has either ridiculously good game sense or blatant aimbot.

Two is enough for me, at least I recorded the second. Getting 7 kills for the Harriers is super hard in 2026 and getting to 25 is near impossible. I can't even cheese it with Javelin kills or flag noob tubes. They don't capture objectives.

Sorry for the rant but I just miss IW4X cause I could get nukes not too hard there. Not super easy or anything but not as hard. Xbox is so sweaty to me.

I can sometimes get a Predator Missile or (with Hardline) Precision Airstrike but almost never get to the Harriers.

I'm going with Hardline + 5-10-24 (. But I might try 4-8-24 or 5-9-25 just to see if the Pavelow can get to 16 by itself with Danger Close Pro.

What are the most common killstreak loadouts for quickscoping snipers? On Xbox in Ground War from my understanding a lot used CUAV, Harrier, Pavelow (maybe swap out CUAV for Pred Missile).

Ive gotten like 10-20 nukes on IW4X. I've gotten two on Xbox and one was almost 10 years ago. I can't even get a Predator Missile on Xbox, let alone the Harriers. It is so unfun on Xbox that it has soured my view on MW2. IW4X is a lot of fun even though it has some sweats, it's not impossible to hold your own against them. I've nuked players like Buckeye and Infinity before on PC. Even on controller, it's not that hard on PC.

I think it just is because of noob tubes. So many people noob tube that I can never get a Harrier, very rarely get Predator Missiles, and can barely get a UAV. I can't even kill them back with noob tubes as I always get hit markers even with Danger Close.

So basically since this guy got a nuke someone DC'd the entire server. This was Ground War and the guy who got the nuke was noob tubing. Apparently this pissed off one of the RGH snipers so they waited until 0:01 seconds in and as soon as the countdown ended he DC'd the entire lobby, robbing the player of a legit nuke.

With and without Danger Close Pro. I will say that I don't use it as much with DC as I usually use Stopping Power or Hardline so when I get the Pavelow it probably isn't as good.

This game is like 600p or something. I don't know how people can see me from so far away unless they're a sniper.
