Killstreaks are a huge part of Call of Duty, and Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone Season 1 have an abundance of new and old ones for players to choose from. The latest Season 1 update features two new Killstreaks available in the Multiplayer, which include the Swarm and EMP Killstreaks.

While both are a new addition to Season 1, they’re not new to the Call of Duty franchise. Swarm and EMP were available in Black Ops and the original Modern Warfare 2. However, acquiring the Swarm Killstreak in Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone Season 1 differs significantly from previous COD titles. Here’s everything players should know regarding the Swarm Killstreak and how to unlock it.

What is the Swarm Killstreak?

The Swarm Killstreak deploys numerous mosquito drones to provide blanket coverage over a particular area. These drones rain down on an area and cause damage to enemies that walk into it. The Killstreak also ultimately kills enemies, making them highly effective at securing multikills. Players who want to complete challenges that involve killing enemies should consider using the Swarm Killstreak to achieve their goal.

How to Unlock the Swarm Killstreak in Warzone and MW3 Season 1

To unlock the Swarm Killstreak in Season 1 of MW3 and Warzone, players must complete an Armory Unlock Challenge. Armory Challenges are the new weapon progression system in Modern Warfare 3. To complete these challenges, players must reach level 25 and complete three daily challenges using specific weapons. For example, “Complete 3 Daily Challenges to Unlock Flash Grenade.”

Once they complete the challenges, they unlock the Killstreaks or weapons attached to the challenge. At the time of writing, the developers haven’t revealed the Armory Challenge to unlock the Swarm Killstreak, but we will update this article once they do. After unlocking the Swarm Killstreak, players must equip it before dropping in the game. To call in the Killstreak, they must get 15 kills or earn 1,875 points.

However, players don’t have to get 15 kills to call in the Swarm Killstreak. Instead, they can participate in objective-based game modes, which rack up a different number of points. This allows players to earn the required 1,875 pints while getting kills and calling in the Killstreak.
