Activating the Nuke will not only kill all of your enemies at once, but you will also be able to get the map control and dominate the opposition afterwards.

Unlocking the Nuke will first of all require you to be at level 20 in the game. Once reaching the required level, you can activate the Nuclear Bomb in games. But it’s not as easy as it seems. You have to get on a kill streak of 20 kills without dying, with your primary or secondary weapon. Kills with the explosives and tacticals also count towards the killstreak.

After you have completed the streak, a “Use Nuclear Bomb” button will appear on the bottom of your screen, which you can press to activate the Nuke and decimate your opponents.

Best Tips and Tactics to Get a Tactical Nuke

There are a lot of approaches you can take for getting a Nuke, but we will tell you the best one. What you need to do basically is always stay in cover first of all. Secondly, your gunfight skills need to be on point to win some fierce battles, if you are playing ranked matches especially.

Now what you should do is stay in cover at one place in the map, kill two to three or maybe one or two more enemies from that position. Afterwards you should change your position since the enemies will be looking to target you at the previous one. You need to continuously rotate around the map so that the enemies can’t track you. You do not want to expose yourself in the middle from where you can be attacked from many angles.

You will be able to get most of your Nukes in games of Domination, since they last long. You can also get one in Hardpoint if you go on an absolute rampage. Search and Destroy will not be giving you a Nuclear Bomb even if you get 20 kills throughout the rounds without dying.
