There might not be a Call of Duty: Vanguard Nuke Killstreak, though Sledgehammer Games’ sequel marks the return of the next best thing. The controversial V2 Rocket is making a comeback following its last appearance in CoD: WWII. Although it doesn’t possess the same match-ending power as a nuclear bomb, the ability kills anyone not below overhead cover.
Is there a Call of Duty: Vanguard Nuke streak?
Call of Duty: Vanguard features the V2 Rocket, which functions in a similar fashion to the Nuke Killstreak. In the brand-new Champion Hill game mode, players earn cash and can save up to purchase a V2 Rocket.
PlayStation Blog broke the news that V2 Rockets will be available in this month’s CoD: Vanguard alpha. Although not quite as devastating as the Nuke streak, the V2 Rocket is still a controversial weapon. Many players believe that these streaks encourage camping, rather than actively playing objectives at a greater risk of death. Others simply don’t like dying to an automated process that, arguably, takes no player skill to execute.
There’s also a second side to the argument, naturally. Lots of Call of Duty fans believe that earning Nukes is a sign of skill, rewarded with the ultimate payoff. While still incredibly powerful, the effects of a V2 Rocket are lesser by comparison — perhaps making them less fun to deploy.
Whichever camp players fall into, powerful streaks and purchases go hand-in-hand with the series’ competitive multiplayer modes. Since there seemingly isn’t a Call of Duty: Vanguard Nuke streak, hopefully, the V2 Rocket can strike an acceptable compromise. The CoD community should get an answer when the Vanguard PlayStation alpha kicks off this weekend.
