Killstreaks info:
Overwatch
- Operates as in MW3
- Behaves as a normal heli but follows the player.
-Dvar can set the ' patrol area' for the max radius around the player it must stay within.
Sentrygun/Sentrynade/SAM

- SAM will target AC130, all heli's, UAVs, Reaper, Predator, and the artillery launcher.
- SAM will not target the cluster bomb airstrikes or the B2.
- Both can be destroyed with direct fire or explosives. Melee is an automatic kill.
- For sentryguns there is a very small chance the player will "cut the wrong wire ", killing him when it explodes.
The owner gets credit for the kill.
- Players can own multiple sentryguns and SAM launchers.
- Sentryguns target all enemy players and the RC-XD. The Stealth perk protects the player from being targetted.
- The sentrynade fires a burst of three grenades over long distances. Stealth protects players.
- "Wrong wire' dvar option for sentry/sam and melee attacks. Turret will explode and damage the player.
Counter UAV and EMP

- In teambased matches both can be shot down by direct fire and SAMs.
- If shot down their effects are cancelled.
- If a teammate activates UAV/CUAV before the older one is finished it continues to fly from its current location.
- UAV's are white. CUAV's are black.
Mininuke

- Dropped by a B2 and explodes in the air above the target area.
- Enemies in range can be killed immediately by the blast except those that are spawn protected, if enabled.
- Enemies will experience varying degrees radiation effects epending on distance from the blast. Penetrates structures.
- If enabled, the attacker will see the hit marker of those suffering radiation effects.
- Tac nuke kills all players (including friendlies) that are not spawn protected. FF penalties are not applied.
- Both kill vehicles and equipment . Players in remote streaks such as the Reaper are detached
and killed at their original locations.
- In objective games the tac nuke can be set to win the game for the attacking team.
- If a tac nuke has been called and the countdown is in progress players will not respawn.
B2

- Does not appear on the minimap to both enemies and friendlies.
- Midpoint and direction can be set in tactical map for a row of 10 bombs.
Predator

- Player is given a short time in an orbiting UAV to choose a target location.
- Player can then fire it and guide to the target.
- Speed boost will lock onto the target area
- Can be flown into heli's (still testing)
Smartbomb

- Player chooses target areas with a visual locator. Default 3 targets and includes dvar for more targets.
- When the target is validated a single figher will immediately find an open path and launch its attack.
- If the fighter cannot hit the target the player can choose another location so long as the timer is still active.
- If targetted correctly the bomb will fly through open windows and other openings.
- Automatically decides on best altitude based on target surroundings. In the middle of tall buildings or down an open ceiling.
AC130

- Works as in MW3
- Three weapons. 25mm, 40mm, and 105mm.
- Limited to 20, 8, and 1 round magazines respectively with automatic reload.
- When a magazine is empty the player is switched to the next higher weapon.
Pavelow

- Pavelow flies diagonally across the center of the map once, turns around, and flies back to the start location.
- Three turrets. Left+right sides and rear door.
- If it takes high damage it will leave the diagonal path and enter into evasive for the remainder of the streak.
RC-XD

- Works as in Black Ops.
- Dvar allows for jumping, climing ladders and mantling. Batmobile -like.
- If enabled, players with the Hardwired perk have a protective bubble that will prevent the RC from being triggered.
- If enabled, in S&D/SAB/CTF if the player already has the carry object he keeps it and can carry it to the objective.
- If the RC-XD explodes or is destroyed by an enemy it drops the carry object at that location.
- Affected by Novagas and can be disabled by EMP nades. When disabled it starts a 20 second timer after which it will explode.
- Green trail option instead of a blinking light for easier friend/foe detection.
Reaper

- Operates as in MW3 with an orbiting UAV.
- Default of 8 player-guided missiles or 60 seconds . Whichever comes first.
Care package and explosive decoy
- May contain any streak other than another care package. May also contain ammo resupply or body armor.
- Friendlies see a head icon of its contents. Enemies have to begin the capture process to know its contents.
- Awards based on their streak requirements. Resupply and body armor have the highest probabiliity.
- %1 chance of a tactical nuke.
- If stolen by an enemy with Hacker the package becomes a booby trap.
- Friendlies can steal the package but cannot set a trap.
- 5 minute default timer before either will blow up.
- Players are killed by falling packages. Kill is credited to the package owner if an enemy.
- If heli is shot down ( ac130 cannot be shot down at this time) it immediately drops its payload.
- On maps with no heli support the package is dropped by an AC130. Dvar option to force AC130 on all maps.
Artillery

- By default fires 6 volleys of four rounds each on the target area. Spread can be set via dvar.
- Trail effects so players will see them as they fly overhead to allow them to run for cover.
Various streak info

- When activating a remote streak such as RC-XD or Pavelow the player must be able to stand at that location.
- If the player is unabled to stand he will not be able to activate.
Done to prevent situations where the player will get stuck in walls when respawning.
- Thermal and optional red target squares for all airbased streaks.
- Ambient weapons: mortars, ac130, airstrikes, B2, mininuke, EMP, counter UAV.
- If carrying a sentry or SAM player must place before activating remote streaks.
- "Unreal " style multikills. To maintain the streak the player must make a kill within three seconds of the last kill.
- Points awarded on multikills.
- For Reaper and similar streaks, if the player is carrying an object such as the bomb it is dropped at that location.
- When the player returns to that location he will automatically pick it up again, unless stolen.
- Experimental killcams for some streak weapons. May not work correctly in some cases.
