## Key points

- Get 30 qualifying kills in a row without dying.
- Killstreak rewards do not count towards the total.
- Free-For-All’s kill cap is back to 30.

## Summary

MW4 players can earn a Nuke by getting 30 consecutive kills without dying, making it a demanding in-match achievement rather than an unlock tied to player level. The reward matters as a prominent show of skill, and launching it can affect the match.

Only kills made with primary or secondary weapons, melee weapons or lethal throwables count; kills from streaks such as the Wheelson, Heavy Artillery or Gunship do not. The Nuke is available in multiplayer modes that allow a 30-kill streak. After an October 28 patch temporarily reduced Free-For-All’s kill cap to 25, Activision restored it to 30.
