Scorestreaks and Perks: Unleash Your Advantage in Call of Duty
In Call of Duty’s multiplayer, Scorestreaks and Perks are powerful tools that allow you to gain a significant advantage over opponents. Scorestreaks (or Killstreaks, depending on the title) reward you for continuous good performance in a single life, while Perks provide passive bonuses that enhance your character’s abilities. Mastering their selection and strategic use can turn the tide of any match.
Boost Your Performance: Strategic Choices
Tailor your loadout for maximum impact.
- Scorestreaks/Killstreaks:
- How they work: Earn points (Scorestreaks) or consecutive kills without dying (Killstreaks) to unlock powerful abilities. You select 3-4 before a match.
- Low Cost Streaks: UAV (reveals enemies on mini-map), Counter-UAV (jams enemy mini-maps), Sentry Gun (automated turret). Great for supporting your team.
- Medium Cost Streaks: Predator Missile (player-guided missile), Attack Helicopter (automatic air support), VTOL Jet (powerful gunship). For clearing objectives or getting more kills.
- High Cost Streaks: Chopper Gunner, Advanced UAV, Nuke (game-ending!). High risk, high reward.
- Strategic Use: Deploy them at opportune moments. A UAV when your team is pushing an objective, or an Attack Helicopter when enemies are grouped up.
- Perks:
- Categories: Perks are passive abilities typically organized into 2-3 categories. You select one from each category.
- Common Perks:
- Ghost/Cold-Blooded: Keep you off enemy mini-maps/thermal optics.
- Quick Fix/E.O.D.: Speed up health regeneration/reduce explosive damage.
- Fast Hands/Sleight of Hand: Faster reloading, weapon swap, or equipment use.
- Scavenger: Resupply ammo from fallen enemies.
- Build Synergy: Choose Perks that complement your playstyle and weapon loadout. An aggressive SMG player might want Ghost and Quick Fix; a sniper might prefer Cold-Blooded and Fast Hands.
Effective use of Scorestreaks and thoughtful Perk selection are crucial for maximizing your impact and dominating the competition in Call of Duty.
