In Call of Duty: Black Ops II, what is the name of the scorestreak that deploys a swarm of drones? The scorestreak is called Swarm.
Swarm is one of Black Ops II’s high-cost scorestreak rewards. When activated, it releases a large group of autonomous Hunter Killer drones that search for enemy players and attack them from above. Because the drones operate across the map, Swarm can pressure several opponents at once rather than focusing on a single target.
Black Ops II replaced the series’ traditional killstreak emphasis with scorestreaks, rewarding objective play as well as eliminations. Captures, assists, and other useful actions could therefore help players work toward powerful rewards such as Swarm.
The name is easy to confuse with other aerial rewards. UAV provides reconnaissance, while Chopper Gunner gives the player direct control of a helicopter’s weapons. VTOL Warship belongs to a later Black Ops title. Swarm is distinctive because the player calls in a cloud of independently attacking drones.
