Air Drop

The Air Drop is a killstreak reward that is given to the player after getting a 4-kill streak. It requires the player to toss a red smoke grenade to the location they want the package to be dropped, and a MH-6 Little Bird will drop the package on that location.

The package that is dropped will be a random killstreak reward, such as a UAV or Airstrike. The more devastating killstreak rewards are rarer to find in Airdrops; such as the AC-130. The only killstreak reward not found in airdrops is the Tactical Nuke, due to it's devastation and the fact that it ends the game.

Tips

 * Signal the air drop into an open area. In this way the air package will not land on a roof or in-accessable structure; in which you will not be able to get it down from, even with explosives.
 * Find an area that is away from enemies, then toss the red smoke grenade to signal the airdrop. In doing so, you will not get killed while waiting on the package to drop or while opening it.
 * It is recommended you use the air-drop in hardcore game modes, as many team-mates attempt to scrounge the airdrop from you. If playing on hardcore though, you can just kill that team-mate before he takes it.
 * Go prone behind the package while taking it. Especially when it's the opposite team's air package.
 * Don't stand where the red smoke is after signalling in the air drop. You probably know why.
