Unlocking The Power Of Scorestreaks In Call Of Duty: Black Ops 6

In Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, playing the objective and performing exceptionally well comes with the ultimate reward: Scorestreaks. Although the concept is a familiar one in the franchise, Black Ops 6 introduces its own unique twists, so here’s a complete rundown of all the available Scorestreaks and what they bring to the battlefield.

Every Scorestreak in Black Ops 6

Black Ops 6’s selection of Scorestreaks features a blend of old and new from the franchise, with some of the old offering a unique take on their core concept. Scorestreaks are obtained by accumulating Score, which represents how well you’re playing in a match. Score is gained by completing objectives, supporting your team, and killing enemies.

Scout Pulse

Scout Pulse allows you to scan for nearby enemies, revealing their positions on your mini-map. Note that this is only for you, and not your teammates. This can be a game-changer when you need to navigate through enemy territory undetected.

RC-XD

Remote-controlled bomb cars are a staple of the Black Ops series, and the RC-XD is no exception. It allows you to remotely control a mini-car with a C4 block attached to it. The C4 Block can be detonated at any time, killing all nearby enemies within its radius.

The RC-XD is a great tool for breaking enemy chokepoints, as they often won’t expect it coming even with the vocal callout. It is very fast, so while it can be shot and destroyed, often it is too late for the enemy to stop the blast once they see it.

SAM Turret

When used, the SAM Turret allows you to place an anti-air turret in any open location on the map. The SAM Turret will automatically target and destroy aerial Scorestreaks such as UAVs and Watchdog Helos. However, it can be destroyed by the enemy team if found, so placement is key.

UAV

A Call of Duty classic, the UAV pings and reveals enemies on the minimap for you and your team. Despite its simplicity, it is a massively powerful Scorestreak, especially early during a match. It can be destroyed via small arms fire, so keep your eyes peeled for enemy snipers!

Archangel Launcher

The Archangel Launcher is a unique Scorestreak that allows you to fire up to two remote-controlled warheads that can be detonated at any time. The warhead itself has limited maneuverability, but skilled use of this streak can turn the tide of a match, especially when used on objectives, where enemies are likely to be plentiful.

Make sure to have a lot of space when using this Scorestreak, as it is easy to kill yourself due to how large the warhead is.

Counter UAV

The Counter UAV has the opposite benefit to the UAV. Instead of revealing the location of enemies, it prevents the enemies from locating your team by scrambling their mini-map. The Counter UAV also completely negates the effects of an active UAV or HARP, which can give you a significant strategic advantage in battle.

Care Package

Care Package is another Call of Duty classic. When used, it calls in an airdropped crate that will land near where it was initially signaled after a few moments. If interacted with, the Care Package will reward you with a random Scorestreak. Note that more powerful Scorestreaks are rare to obtain from a Care Package.

Napalm Strike

This Scorestreak allows you to call in an airstrike on the target location of your choice. After a few moments, the strike occurs, bathing your selected location in flames that burn enemies within them. This is a strong Scorestreak for area denial, especially effective in centralized objective-based game modes like Hardpoint.

LDBR

LDBR grants you access to a laser pointer that, when triggered at your selected location, will bombard said location with high-explosive missiles for an extended period of time. It serves as a strong point-defense Scorestreak that, when used strategically, can prevent the enemy team from setting foot on your objectives.

Sentry Turret

When placed, the Sentry Turret automatically targets and destroys enemies within its range. It can withstand a significant amount of enemy fire before being destroyed but can be directly countered with perks that prevent AI targeting. Proper placement is crucial, as a poorly placed turret becomes ineffective.

Hellstorm

Reminiscent of the Predator Missile from previous Call of Duty titles, the Hellstorm lets you remotely control a devastating air-to-ground missile, obliterating enemies within its blast radius. While guiding it, you can trigger a secondary barrage of missiles, expanding its reach to hit additional targets beyond the primary impact zone.

Watchdog Helo

Similar to the Overwatch Helo from past Call of Duty titles, the Watchdog Helo calls an attack helicopter to escort you, attacking and pinging enemies near your location. If ignored, it will wreak havoc on your enemies, making it a formidable ally.

A.G.R. Mk1

The A.G.R. MK1 is a remotely controlled tank drone armed with a machine gun and grenade launcher. It is notoriously difficult to destroy without proper equipment due to its durability. It can function as an area denial tool or be used for attacking points, proving useful even in objectiveless game modes like Team Deathmatch.

Interceptors

This powerful Scorestreak calls in a jet squadron that will instantly destroy any air Scorestreaks in play. It excels in anti-Scorestreak loadouts designed to prevent enemy Scorestreaks from overwhelming the field, providing vital aerial support.

Strategic Bomber

The Strategic Bomber deploys a Stealth Bomber that blankets a wide area with high-explosive bombs. Unlike other Scorestreaks, activating it doesn’t alert the enemy team, allowing for a surprise attack that can turn the tide of battle.

HARP

This Scorestreak is a significantly upgraded version of the UAV. The HARP reveals enemies on the mini-map for you and your team, offering more detailed intel by revealing the exact, real-time location and direction of all enemies on the field. Unlike the UAV, the HARP cannot be destroyed by anything else, providing an invaluable advantage in combat.

Chopper Gunner

The Chopper Gunner, another classic Call of Duty streak, lets you take control of an airborne assault helicopter’s powerful rotary gun. With this weapon, you can unleash rounds that have a wide blast radius, making them nearly impossible for enemies to avoid. However, be cautious, as enemies can target and destroy the chopper.

Dreadnaught

The Dreadnaught resembles the classic AC-130 streak from previous Call of Duty games. When activated, you take control of a heavily armed gunship equipped with a vast array of explosive weaponry. Unlike most airborne Scorestreaks, the Dreadnaught is immune to small-arms fire and can only be taken down with multiple lock-on launchers, making it a formidable presence on the battlefield.

In summary, understanding and mastering the use of Scorestreaks can greatly enhance your gameplay experience in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6. Each Scorestreak offers unique advantages, and selecting the right combination can lead to victory!
