General Tips for Easier Nukes


Class Setup
Main Gun
**ONLY USE ASSAULT RIFLES!
-assault rifles have great balance between power, range and mobility.
-ALWAYS put on a silencer so when you shoot other enemies won't know where you are.
-You should choose whichever one you feel the most comfortable with, but I always use the ACR.

Secondary Gun
-This isn't a HUGE deal, but normally you should go with a shotgun since you only use this when you don't have time to reload, and need a fast kill.
-I personally like either the Spas-12 or the Model 1887's.

Equipment
**ONLY USE CLAYMORES!
-Claymores defend you back, and also can pick up kills while doing it, this is a MUST if you have them.
-Even when they don't get kills, they explode so you can tell when an enemy is coming.

Special Grenades
-This is a matter of personal preference, I like stun grenades the most, but use whatever you feel fits your style of play the best.

1st Perk
**SCAVENGER!
-You don't want to run out of ammo in the middle of going for a kill streak, and this also allows you to plant more claymores.

2nd Perk
-Normally I say use stopping power, but Hardline is OK for people that have trouble building up kills.
-I personally hate Hardline, but I can see that someone who has trouble getting kills might want to shorten the process of building up streaks.
-I ALWAYS use stopping power. I prefer it since it does more damage, which can take out enemies faster.

3rd Perk
**NINJA!
-Scrambler gives away your position to enemies that might not know that you were there.
-Ninja Pro is the best perk in this category since enemies with heart beat sensors can't see you on them, AND those people with pro headsets can't hear your footsteps.

Death streak
**DOESN'T MATTER
-Your going for a KILL streak, you shouldn't be getting these.

Kill streaks
**DEPENDS ON YOUR SKILL LEVEL!
-The 2nd Streak should always be the AC130 though since it's hard to shoot down, and is very powerful. However, if you play against people that don't shoot air support down, then you can substitute it for the more powerful (but easy to shoot down) chopper gunner.
For people that struggle to get kills:
*Predator Missile, AC130, Nuke
-this setup is so people with less skills can use one of the streaks early instead of never being able to so they are closer to the next one.
For the Normal Player:
*Harrier, AC130, Nuke
-This is a class familiar to several people, but most use the chopper gunner instead of the AC130. This used to work good, but now most people shoot chopper gunners down, so it's best to go with the AC130.
-Although many consider this "over-used", that is because it is the best set-up. Even with Harriers being shot down they are always a lock for a MINIMUM of 1-2 kills, and even that almost never happens, most of the time you get more than that.

Map Tips
Favela[/B]
**Don't hang out on roofs too much, there is always people that keep looking for kills on them.
-The best spot to camp is the building overlooking B and the path back to where A is.

Afghan
**This is a GREAT map for nukes.
-The areas by flags B and C are great for being concealed while being able to shoot.
-The building overlooking A is a good spot, but is over-used and people now routinely try to clean it out. If you are going to hide here make sure you set a claymore behind you so you can't be attacked from behind.

Sub-Base
**This is very hard to get a nuke on unless you start by C.
-On the A side you only have 4 ways to get to B, and you can get spawn trapped very easily.
-On C side, it's best to be on left side of the building you start by
and pick off people trying to sneak around. This surprises people at first, and there's not much they can do if you stay back a bit.

Derail
-If you spawn where A is you want to camp in between there and B.
-If you spawn at C, then it works best to move around by your base, but without exposing yourself to long-range snipers.

Skidrow
-It's hard to get on this map, but I did it by Constantly moving. You want to set up claymores to the side you aren't watching, and if you get a kill with it, then go over there and put a new one there since you have scavenger.
-One spot is the alleyway between B and C if your team has A. Then you set a claymore by the stairs and hide behind the vent so you can shoot enemies going towards B. The other is outside the B building on it's ledge. You set a claymore in the middle of the doorway behind you that faces the Alleyway so enemies can only come one way at you.

Wasteland
**The easiest map to get a nuke on.
-The easiest way to do this is by hanging around outside of the tunnel, and picking off people as they go in. From C you can see people coming from A by looking through the gap in the middle wall. The same thing works for C. At B You can go prone on the grass and see people coming into the tunnel from C and A, but you need to make sure to check both sides of the map occasionally while there to make sure nobody is trying to sneak up on you.
-Make sure you set up claymores to the edge of the bushes while doing this at A and C.

Scrapyard
**This is a great level for air support.
-It becomes 100 times easier when you spawn by C to get a nuke. Hide by the Forklift in the corner, and set up a claymore first on the right side of the power generator, and if you get a 2nd one, set it by the door.

Highrise
-Set up claymores to protect you, then when you get kills with them move to a different spot. This map changes spawns a lot so you need to keep on the move.

Estate
-You NEED to be by A for this. Set up on the ledge overlooking B, and pick off people coming up towards A through the middle, and going to B through the right side. Don't stay over one side though since people will snipe and throw grenades at you, but people can also sneak up on you from the other side.


Other General Tips
-Don't stay in the same exact spot, you can stay in the same building, but use different angles and windows.
-Be aware of your surroundings, 9/10 times people die since they weren't.
-Let your first kill streak do it's job before you call the next one so you maximize kills.

How about I haven't died from a harrier/ac 130/chopper gunner in about 2 months because I always use coldblooded. Or how about I run around people's spawns for 5 minutes just ruining their miserable lives because they can are so dependent on radar that they don't bother to notice I'm standing right in front of them.

Frankly, I just don't see advantage. Talk to my 2.89 KD and get back to me if your still want to use stopping power.


i was never talking against cold-blooded fyi.. i was just debating to the fact that stopping power is not useless at all.. how about the fact that whenever i use stopping power i'm always the first 1 to get ac130/choppergunner where ppl using cold-blooded die by me already by that time cuz they cant do shit to me when on a face-to-face shootout... cold-blooded may help u throughout the match but def not the beginning which is my time.

im talking to your 2.89 k/d and my 4.43 k/d says that stopping power is better Happy

tbh though its all about who see's who first, personally i like to kill fast so i can get as many kills per clip as possible.
i do use cold blooded(although not often) and its excellent but if you are going for a nuke you will likely be camping so cold blooded has little effect if your in the same place.
90% of the time stopping power is the best perk 2.
people don't get air support very often when they play against me and if they do i stay inside.

also without stopping power you lose 1 on 1 gunfights alot, especially as you need to put an extra bullet into them(doesn't sound alot but take into account the average 20% accuracy then its an extra 5 shots to fire)

cold bloodeds generally only good if you like to sit in corners or prone in bushes

I'm just going to respond to a few posts I saw...

for instance stopping power is useless you do not need it on any guy it takes more skill to use hardline. so hardline or coldblood for second perk as well

unless your on afgan or derail playing afgan then ac130 is useless always use chopper gunner you just gotta get use to using it


Thanks for responding to my post with your opinion. However, I disagree with you about stopping power, and that it takes more skill to use hard line. Stopping Power increases bullet damage by I believe 150% which means 2 bullets is the same as hitting someone three times without it. And the more you fire the more the ratio go's up. This is great for people with poor aim since they can aim poorly while still gaining kills. With new people hard line works better for them, in my opinion, since they have trouble getting any kills, and even with stopping power will struggle, so by using hard line they can shorten the process so they don't have to be playing as much which would mean more time where they would die. And AC130's are fine on all maps except Skid Row pretty much, and even then if you have them trapped at their spawn by A it becomes great. It's not a matter of "Getting used to it" really since you can't aim everywhere with the chopper gunner meaning you will be shot down.

Thanks for making a well-thought out post. I thought that particular comment about 1 on 1 gunfights covered exactly why I choose it. Cold-blooded is also good, but when going for nukes, you want help with kills and kill streaks if you have trouble with getting nukes, not just hiding better.

Thanks for you argument for Cold-Blooded being used. I think that stopping power has the advantage here though even through your own argument. Yeah you can run around their spawn, but you probably won't build up a build streak as often as you would with stopping power and playing back. Some of my friends have k/d's of about 6 and they just use lightweight for their 2nd, but I was trying to make a post that will give newer people the best advantage they can have.

Thanks for providing a spot that has helped you on estate. I know the spot you're talking about, but it's not very good for nukes since people can kill you so easily up there.


**Thank you everyone that responded, and don't take my comments here as offensive, as I am just stating what my opinion is. There is no "right" answer here, but I just shared what I believe works the best.

I love how some many people are like dont use stopping power it sucks and its true then this guy just says thanks for your opinion but your wrong
