The Call of Duty franchise is famous for its frequent updates to the games. Every game in the series receives new updates, introducing fresh content. Often, these new additions remove a few older ones that players have been using for a long time. A similar thing recently happened to Modern Warfare 3 after the latest patch was released.

Since Modern Warfare 3 was released, the game has received lots of updates, adding too much content to the game. The latest season, Season 4, did the same. While it has brought several new things to the game, it has removed one of the most popular features, which has been a part of the franchise for a long time.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Has Replaced an Age-Old Killstreak With the Advanced Warfare Streak

Killstreaks are one of the finest ways to take down even the hidden enemies on the map in Call of Duty.

Killstreaks are a pretty popular feature in these games, especially when it comes to long-range battles or crowd control. Among all the killstreaks the latest installment has had from the beginning, Nuke used to be the most popular one. However, the latest Season 4 patch note revealed that Activision has removed Nuke and replaced it with DNA Bomb.

Initially, Nuke was introduced in Modern Warfare 2, but with its incredible damage abilities, this killstreak has won the hearts of fans. Nuke was handy for tackling hordes of enemies at any point in the game, once you met the conditions. Therefore, according to players, the game won’t be the same after this iconic killstreak leaves the game in Season 4.

This is not a new trend in the franchise, as players often find popular weapons and equipment leaving games during new seasons. Therefore, the news must be a little upsetting, but not shocking. That’s especially because the developers have dug deep into the other titles of the series to find a replacement for the iconic Killstreak, and they chose the most powerful Advanced Warfare streak as the best replacement.

So, this season, players will experience the power of the DNA Bomb once again. After its introduction in Advanced Warfare, this is the first time this Killstreak has been added to a different title. Therefore, players who haven’t played Advanced Warfare must be a bit puzzled about the use and effects of the DNA Bomb.

DNA Bomb: The Nuclear Monster Is Back in Modern Warfare 3

Calling in DNA Bomb will leave this green nuclear fog for a few seconds in Modern Warfare 3.

In a first-person shooter game, where danger awaits every step, acquiring knowledge of every offense and defense equipment is necessary to figure out which one helps you best in a certain situation. Nuke was a powerful Killstreak, for sure, but DNA Bomb is not a joke. Calling in a Nuke requires players to get 30 kills without dying, and this Killstreak used to end the match. The process of action is different, but the power is almost the same.

In Season 4, players need to collect 25 kills without dying to call in a DNA Bomb. It is one of the most powerful nuclear monsters players can call in during a match. Activating it won’t end the match, but it swipes out every enemy on the map in a single go.

Even after the destruction, the Killstreak leaves a green nuclear effect on the map to indicate someone has summoned it. Don’t worry, you don’t need to equip a DNA Bomb to summon the Killstreak. As soon as you meet the criteria, the Killstreak will be available for you to call in and wash out the enemy teams.

Hopefully, this new Killstreak will increase the thrill of the game, as, after a long time, players are again going to experience this monster Killstreak. However, it will increase the danger for players as well because they may be on the opposite end of the Killstreak. So, play carefully in Season 4.
