How to unlock nuke killstreak in Black Ops 6

The only way to get a nuke in Black Ops 6 is by killing 30 opponents in a row in a multiplayer match. However, it’s worth noting that you can only use weapons and tactical equipment to maintain your kill streak.

In other words, scorestreak kills such as Chopper Gunner, Hellstorm and Watchdog Helo won’t count at all.

Although taking a few consecutive kills isn’t a big deal, there are high chances that the opponent will take you down before you achieve 30 kills without dying. Therefore, getting a nuke in Black Ops 6 requires a lot of patience, skills and precision.

However, when you trigger the nuke, all the players in the match will get five seconds of playtime before it detonates.

It’s also worth noting that Black Ops 6 boasts a brand-new nuke animation that begins with your hands catching fire, followed by a giant fireball mushroom erupting in the area. The game wraps up with the final score shown on the screen.
