Killstreaks are supports that you can equip as part of your loadout. Most Killstreaks inflict high damage in the battlefield, significantly affecting the outcome of any battle. With that said, they do come at a very steep cost – you need to survive while killing a lot of enemies. It is definitely easier said than done but once you do accomplish it, you get a grand reward worthy of replays.
In normal matches, getting 30 kills grants you a nuke that you can call on to immediately end the match in your favor. For bigger battles in Ground War, your team must hold all posts for 45 seconds to automatically call in a nuke.

As powerful as they are, Killstreaks can still be countered. For example, you can use the Ghost perk to counter UAVs, completely making you invisible to the enemy minimap. You can also use Launchers to quickly bring down UAVs, and even damaging ones like Helos and VTOLs. Cruise Missile and Mortars can be evaded by simply going inside a structure. Be mindful of the counters and change your loadout whenever you encounter persistent Killstreaks as they can be pretty damaging when left unchecked.
