The sequel to popular battle royaleCall of Duty: Warzonehas entered Season 2, and with the new season there’s been plenty of fresh content. The precision airstrike has been around for a while, though, and has evenwon rounds forWarzoneplayers. In regularCall of Dutymultiplayer, players can acquire the airstrike through a killstreak, but inWarzone 2it’s a buyable or lootable item, so players can sometimes find it just when they need it to get themselves out of a tight spot.

Call of Duty: Warzone 2player Tricksalot posted a video, however, showing that the precision airstrike can definitely backfire on the player. The clip starts with Tricksalot landing on a rapidly moving train and then jumping between cars and grabbing loot out of chests, including the precision airstrike. Then they jump up on the top of a train car, fire a burst into a prone enemy, and pull out the airstrike, aiming toward the front of the train and using it. After that, they go back to looting the chests. Right as Tricksalot is grabbing the items from the chest, though, disaster strikes. Their own precision airstrike hits them and kills them instantly. At least they weren’tkilled by theWarzone 2train itself.
Killstreak items inCall of Duty: Warzone 2can be definite game changers, but they still obviously require some skill and forethought to use effectively. Players can’t just find them in a chest and randomly fire them off, as Tricksalot demonstrated in their video. That doesn’t mean that theCall of Duty: Warzone 2killstreak itemsare useless, but having to watch out for friendly fire inWarzone 2does mean that their use has to be more judicious. If players just randomly fire them off, they could end up killing themselves or their teammates and losing an otherwise winnable match.
While killstreak items inWarzone 2might seem either too powerful or tools that make up for a lack of skill, they do add more variety to the battle royale. Of course, some killstreaks can be incredibly strong, and there were rumors of anuke killstreak inWarzone 2, which would be a game changer. However, if it does come, players will have to go through a lot of different objectives and defend the nuke against enemy squads. Ultimately, it seems that killstreaks like the precision airstrike result in more fun gameplay and hilarious clips than anything negative.
Call of Duty: Warzone 2is available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
