The word “Nuke” is trending on Twitter thanks to Call of Duty players’ responses to a recent FaZe Clan poll. The poll asks players which of the four outcomes below are most satisfying to achieve, and it seems that most agree on Modern Warfare’s nuke taking the cake.
The Tactical Nuke originated in Modern Warfare 2, where Call of Duty players could use it after achieving a 25 kill kill-streak to instantly win the game. It returns in Modern Warfare, albeit with a 30 kill-streak requirement, and is just as glorious. Players that actually manage to get a crazy kill streak like this will secure victory for their team.
Fortnite’s victory royale screen and the victory screens from Valorant and Warzone were all possible options, and while some did choose this, an overwhelming majority are in favor of the tactical nuke victory.This makes sense, as though all of these are difficult to do, the nuke is by far the most challenging.
Despite this, there have been some crazy videos of Modern Warfare players getting nukes quickly and utterly decimating the opposition. For the average player, however, an accomplishment such as this may be out of reach forever.
Call of Duty Modern Warfare is available now on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
