Introduction
Scorestreak rewards are similar to the killstreaks, but the rewards are earned based on how much you’ve scored. The score can be increased by the usual enemy player elimination and also by playing the objective in objective-based games such as Hardpoint. Actions such as taking down enemy scorestreaks and even getting assists also contribute to your scorestreaks. In Black Ops Cold War, Scorestreaks do not reset upon your death. This may make it sound like it is easy for everyone to get Scorestreaks, making earning the streaks not as exciting, right? Well, that is not the case. Treyarch has incorporated the Killstreak system into the Scorestreak system, making it equally as hard to acquire these streaks as the original COD Killstreak system. You get 50 points for each kill, and if you are on a killstreak, your score keeps multiplying with each consecutive kill in addition to the 50 points. Every 5 kills is considered a special accomplishment as you earn a huge bonus score for every time you cross that milestone.
Scorestreaks & Killstreaks Levels
Below, we have listed a complete score table and the bonus points you get for reaching each milestone. Every kill after reaching the 30 kill mark will net you +500 points, in addition to the standard +50 points, until you die.
List of Scorestreaks & Required Score
All the Scorestreaks have a certain required score you must reach to activate them. They also have a cooldown time once you’ve utilized them. You must wait for the cooldown timer to finish before using that same Scorestreak, even if you’ve earned it again. You can earn them multiple times within a single game, but only if you’ve already used the streak before earning it again.
It is also worth noting that some Scorestreaks, such as the Combat Bow and War Machine, can be saved for later as they have limited ammo. You can choose when and where to use these Scorestreaks. So, if you’ve already acquired the War Machine, you can switch to your primary weapon and back easily. This helps for more strategic plays in-game.
