Best Killstreaks in Call Of Duty: Vanguard

TheV2 Rocketis rather obviously the best Killstreak in Vanguard, since it’s literally an auto-win. But it’s also quite the feat to obtain one, so don’t build your whole battle plan around bringing one.

When considering the 16 main Killstreaks, your own playstyle and skills should be a major factor in informing your decision, and no recommendation we give here should override your personal preferences.

Beyond this, your own preferences play a much bigger role in choosing what to do with the other two slots. If you’re a fan of straight-up offensive maneuvers thenStrafing RunorBombing Runwill probably be your top choices, but if you prefer a slightly stealthier route,Counter Spy Planemight be more your speed.

You’ll notice that we’re largely sticking with lower-end Killstreaks: that’s mostly because they’re good staples for your loadout and you’re quite likely to accumulate them easily. But if you really manage to rack up your numbers, the Killstreaks that kick in at around nine or 10 kills are obviously top-tier stuff.Attack Dogsare a particularly powerful choice once you reach this stage: they can kill with a single bite; have significantly more health than a player, making them extremely hard to kill; and travel fast enough that they’re almost guaranteed the drop on your opponents. They’re particularly deadly on smaller maps, but a represent a significant hindrance to enemy teams under any circumstances.

How to claim and deploy Killstreaks in Vanguard

At the beginning of a multiplayer match, you will be given the option to claim up to three Killstreaks for your loadout, based on your performance in prior matches. You can then access and deploy Killstreaks from the Weapons menu during the match.

If you’ve unlocked the V2 Rocket Killstreak, you won’t have the option to select it at the start of a match. This is because any player who’s earned this Killstreak and hasn’t deployed it yet has it automatically applied as part of their loadout. And don’t worry: it doesn’t count towards the three Killstreaks you can select for a match.
