Black Ops 6 Nuke: How to get and top tips

Going on a tirade in Call of Duty multiplayer is always a nice feeling, proving to your friends that you really are the top dog in the squad.

One of the pinnacles of this is earning a Nuke since it is usually the top Kill/Scorestreak available in the game.

This does however change from game to game, and since the Black Ops section of the franchise isn’t exactly known for Nukes, the requirements might throw you off guard.

Below, we’ll reveal how to get a Black Ops 6 Nuke as well as some strategies for achieving it as fast as possible.

How to get a Nuke in Black Ops 6

To trigger a Nuke in Black Ops 6, you must get 30 kills in a multiplayer match. This is the same requirement that was in the previous CoD game – Modern Warfare 3 – and has also been shared in older titles too.

One thing to keep in mind here is that these have to be weapon and equipment kills, with no Scorestreak kills will count toward your tally. This makes the challenge that bit more difficult but by no means impossible.

Once you do hit the 30 kill mark, you can start the ominous five second countdown for the Nuke’s launch, and upon conclusion, it will end the match.

As this is such a huge feat to accomplish, you’ll need to be prepped with the best guns, perks, and equipment in order to overcome it.

Looking initially at the perks that are best when aiming to get a Nuke, you’re going to want to be as hidden as possible, as well as disrupting any enemy recon.

Because of this, we recommend running Ninja, Engineer, and Cold-Blooded, as well as the Perk Greed Wildcard which enables you to add a fourth – Ghost.

For Scorestreaks, you want to head down a similar path. Here, choose Scout Pulse, UAV, and Counter UAV as these make you most hidden and disrupt the opposition the most.

Assault Pack is the best Field Upgrade as you’ll keep your ammo topped up without having to pick up any additional weapons.

And finally, the guns. This is more of a preference thing and will vary map to map so really all you’ll need to do is find what your comfortable with in the current meta and go for it.
