Ghosts - Killstreaks | Strike Packages
Killstreaks are powerful rewards earned for racking up consecutive kills. Killstreak rewards have many battlefield applications. Some are offensive, some are defensive, and some can be used in tandem with teammates' killstreak for greater effectiveness.
Ghosts uses the same Strike Chain system that's in Modern Warfare 3. You get to choose one Strike Package: Assault, Support or Specialist and each has its own pros and cons.
The Assault Package is for aggressive players that rewards with killstreaks that hurt the enemy - the downside is that the streak count resets upon death. On the other hand, the Support Package rewards your teammates with support killstreaks and your streak count persists through death. The Specialist Package gives you perks as your streak progresses.
Assault Strike Package
Sat Com (3 kills)Replaces the UAV as a stationary ground-based version. The Sat Coms can be stacked; The more Sat Coms your team has on the ground, the better they work:
- 1) Shows enemies on the radar that you and your teammates see / encounter.
- 2) Sat Coms act as a normal UAV by sweeping the map every few seconds.
- 3) Increases the frequency of the radar sweeps.
- 4) Works like the Advanced UAV from MW3 by showing the enemies as arrows, which indicates the way they are facing.
The Wiretap perk allows you to stack enemy Sat Coms as your own.
I.M.S (4 kills)The Intelligent Munitions System shoots anti-personnel grenades in the air when an enemy gets near it.
Guard Dog (5 kills)The Guard Dog will automatically follow you and attack enemies - it also growls when enemy players are near.
Sentry Gun (7 kills)Once deployed the Sentry Gun scans for enemies and attacks them on sight.
Trinity Rocket (7 kills)Unknown
Gryphon (8 kills)Player controllable killstreak. Fires explosives and is able to see enemies through walls.
Vulture (9 kills)Deploys a low flying drone that attacks enemies.
Battle Hind (9 kills)Calls in an Battle Hind that circles the map and automatically engages enemies.
Juggernaut Maniac (9 kills)A package is airdropped into the map that holds the killstreak. Once picked up, the player gets the Juggernaut armor and a throwing knife - nothing more. Unlike the normal Juggernaut killstreak, this version allows you to move extremely fast, but your health doesn't regenerate.
Juggernaut (10 kills)Works just like the Juggernaut killstreak from Modern Warfare 3. The player that picks up the airdropped package receives the Juggernaut armor that comes with a minigun.
Helo Pilot (12 kills)Allows the player to control an Attack Helicopter for a short period of time.
Unknown (15 kills)Allows the player to control an aerial vehicle that can support the team by launching the following armaments:
- Care Package
- Juggernaut
- Small Rod
- Large Rod
Support Strike Package
Sat Com (4 kills)
- 1) Shows enemies on the radar that you and your teammates see / encounter.
- 2) Sat Coms act as a normal UAV by sweeping the map every few seconds.
- 3) Increases the frequency of the radar sweeps.
- 4) Works like the Advanced UAV from MW3 by showing the enemies as arrows, which indicates the way they are facing.
The Wiretap perk allows you to stack enemy Sat Coms as your own.
Ballistic Vests (6 kills)Allows you to supply teammates with Ballistic Vests that increases their armor and damage resistance.
Box of Guns (8 kills)Not been confirmed how it works, but the name implies that a random weapon is given to the player that picks it up.
Night Owl (9 kills)A drone that follows you around. It acts as a motion sensor that detects nearby enemies and also deflects missiles that are fired in your direction.
Even if you die, the Night Owl continues to help teammates.
MAAWS (10 kills)Fires a rocket that splits into two and you can free-guide them with the launchers laser.
Ground Jammer (12 kills)Disables enemy Sat Coms and killstreaks.
Air Superiority (12 kills)Calls in a fighter jet that engages enemy aircraft.
Support Squadmate (13 kills)"Get behind the guy with a Riot Shield" - other than the description, it's not really known how this will work.
Heli Sniper (13 kills)Calls in a helicopter with a sniper on-board. The sniper is controllable and the helicopter can be ordered to move around the map. The sniper can be taken out, which ends the killstreak.
Oracle (14 kills)This killstreak was thought to be a cloaking device, but it has been debunked by Mark Rubin via Twitter.
"Uses GPS(?) technology to detect and display(?) enemies(?)"
Unfortunately the video compression has made the description for the Oracle partly unreadable, but at this point the evidence suggests that it might mark enemies and possibly highlights them through walls.
The Blind Eye perk makes players immune to "Oracle systems".
Juggernaut Recon (14 kills)Drops in a Juggernaut armor that has a personal radar.
Unknown (16 kills)
- Care Package
- Juggernaut
- Small Rod
- Large Rod
Specialist Strike Package
Works like in Modern Warfare 3 by allowing you to stack perks as your streak increases.
