The topic of the Modern Warfare 2 nuke is on the minds of players dropping into the action during Season 6. 2009's Modern Warfare 2 introduced the Tactical Nuke as the highest killstreak available to earn and many still wonder if the game-ending streak is available in Infinity Ward's latest release.
The old Tactical Nuke required players to score a total of 25 kills in a row and as players continue to dominate matches, players continue to attempt to score the coveted streak.

Is the Tactical Nuke in Modern Warfare 2 2022?
Although it's not called the Tactical Nuke, there is a nuke killstreak in Modern Warfare 2 multiplayer. Known as the MGB (Mass Guided Bomb) the missile causes a huge explosion, bringing the game to an early and explosive ending.

Unlike the old Tactical Nuke, there's no way of selecting it as part of your loadout so you can score it at any time.
How to unlock Modern Warfare 2 MGB killstreak
The exact unlock method for the MGB is incredibly straightforward. All you need to do is score 30 kills without dying. It sounds simple but with the fast time to kill, it's far from straightforward if you don't fancy camping in a corner for several minutes.
A ten-second countdown clock appears at the top of the screen before the missile turns the map into a burning pile of rubble.
It's also worth noting that kills scored by an AI-controlled killstreak such as a VTOL Jet don't count towards the MGB so bear that in mind when choosing which streaks you'll need to gain the upper hand.
Is the MGB good in Modern Warfare 2?
Considering this particular killstreak has the potential to end the match, the MGB is arguably the best killstreak to use in Modern Warfare 2. It may take a while to earn over the course of the match but it has the power to guarantee a victory for your team.
