Black Ops 6 – Destructoid
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.
RC-XD
Remote-controlled bomb cars are a staple to 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, 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 (UAV, Watchdog Helo, etc…). It can be destroyed by the enemy team, if found.
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.
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 and 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 with 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. Counter UAV also completely negates the effects of an active UAV or HARP.
Care Package
Care Package is another Call of Duty Classic. When used, 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
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, so it is especially effective on 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 is a strong point-defense Scorestreak that, when used strategically, can prevent the enemy team from setting foot on your objectives. This Scorestreak is reminiscent of the Mortar Strike from past Call of Duty titles.
Sentry Turret
When used, it allows you to place a turret that will automatically target and destroy enemies within its range and cone of operation. Sentry Turrets can take a significant amount of enemy fire before being destroyed but can be directly countered with Perks that prevent AI targeting and equipment that limits its line of sight. Thanks to it being a turret, it is naturally a fantastic area denial tool if placed well. Be mindful of its positioning, as a poorly placed turret is useless.
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. Unique to the Hellstorm, 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.
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 thanks to how durable it is. It can function as an area denial tool, or one used for attacking points. Even in objectiveless game modes like Team Deathmatch, it is useful due to how quickly it can secure kills.
Interceptors
A powerful Scorestreak that calls in a jet squadron that will instantly destroy any air Scorestreaks in play. Works well in anti-Scorestreak loadouts designed to prevent enemy Scorestreaks from overwhelming the field.
Strategic Bomber
This Scorestreak deploys a Stealth Bomber that blankets a wide area with high-explosive bombs. Unlike other Scorestreaks, activating the Strategic Bomber doesn’t alert the enemy team, allowing for a surprise attack when least expected.
HARP
This Scorestreak is a majorly upgraded version of the UAV in several ways. Like the UAV, the HARP reveals enemies on the mini-map for you and your team. However, the HARPS intel is much more detailed, revealing the exact, real-time location and direction of all enemies on the field. Additionally, unlike the UAV, the HARP cannot be destroyed by anything else. Only a Counter UAV can temporarily disable its effects.
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, enemies can target and destroy the chopper to cut its assault short.
Dreadnaught
The Dreadnaught is reminiscent of 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 capable of decimating enemies across the battlefield. Unlike most airborne Scorestreaks, the Dreadnaught is immune to small-arms fire and requires multiple lock-on launchers to take down. Even then, its immense firepower and durability make it a presence that is often not genuinely counter-able, even if said counters do exist.
