In the latest Infinite Warfare trailer, developer Infinity Ward have revealed they are bringing back the tactical nuke kill-streak, in an updated format.
We are unsure if the top kill-streak, named the “De-Atomizer Strike”, will require the historic 25 weapon/kill-streak kills or solely weapon only kills, however it wouldn’t not be unthinkable to see Infinity Ward going down the nostalgic route given the inclusion of fan favourite weapons from previous titles, such as the Intervention.
It’s great seeing the kill-streak return, however fans might not be at all happy with how you obtain it; it’s part of the games new crafting system, which is based on Common, Rare, Epic and Legendary loots. The nuke will fall under Legendary loot, which you can acquire with salvage, the games crafting currency. The chances are the kill-streak won’t be easily obtainable, and so micro transactions for salvage may again be an issue for players; something that has plagued previous titles for players who could not afford CoD points (or decided they didn’t want to part with their hard earned cash), and therefore struggled to unlock legendary items, such as weapons and camouflage.
Are you happy to part with your cash, or would you prefer to see a return to the days of Modern Warfare 2, and unlocking it naturally in game?
