MW4 Perks & Killstreaks FAQ

How do perks work in Modern Warfare 4?

Multiplayer uses a Pick 3 system: 18 perks split into three categories of six, and you equip exactly one from each. Six perks are available as soon as Create-a-Class unlocks at Level 4; the last one, Kill Chain, arrives at Level 48.

What does Hardline do in MW4?

Hardline (Perk 2, unlocked at Level 4) reduces every Killstreak cost by 1 kill — a UAV drops from 4 to 3, a Gunship from 12 to 11. The planner applies it automatically when you select it.

How many killstreaks can you equip in MW4?

3 per loadout, chosen from 17 launch Killstreaks that cost 4, 6, 8, 10 or 12 kills. Objective play also counts toward streak progress, and each loadout carries its own set.

Which killstreaks unlock last?

Gunship at Level 51 and Air Lockdown at Level 55 are the final two, both 12-kill streaks. Before them come Argonaut (45), Advanced UAV (40) and Railgun Sentry (38).
