Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2's release steadily approaches as Task Force 141 returns to finish their unfinished business with terrorist organizations around the world in the sequel to 2019's Call of Duty: Modern Warfare reboot. Along with new features like a revamped campaign mode set in 2022, Warzone 2.0's introduction, and the samurai-inspired Oni Operator, Modern Warfare 2's multiplayer mode brings the bullets to players' screen as they take down their enemies to secure victory. And as players climb the ranks and mow down their opponents, the coveted killstreak rewards are back to wreak havoc online.

Stacking kills without dying in Modern Warfare 2's multiplayer modes gives players killstreaks, and after accumulating at four, powerful rewards unlock, allowing players to keep the kills coming and creating misery for unlucky opposing players. Killstreaks rewards offer a wide variety of options to press a player's advantage, including access to drones, care packages, air and missile strikes as well as truly devastating power-ups like the juggernaut assault gear. As each kill piles on, the rewards get better and better, giving the most skilled players numerous ways to eliminate even more opponents as cross-platform play is available too.

A Guide to Modern Warfare 2's Killstreak Rewards

Overall, Modern Warfare 2 features 19 killstreak rewards for players, with each kill after four unlocking at least two choices for different offensive and defensive play styles. And while taking out the enemy is its own reward, players who prefer objective hunting can also receive the streak rewards with a scorestreak. With these streaks, completing objectives in multiplayer modes will score players points, and if they can stay alive, the points will add up and allow access to the same abilities as players who gun down their opponents, giving players versatile and fun opportunities to bring the pain to the enemy team. As the kill and point totals rise, players can create some truly wild interactions, and each map, including a couple of leaked fan favorites, provides a unique synergy for the streaks. Here is a list of every available streak reward for the upcoming release of Modern Warfare 2 as well as what they do.
