Mothership

The Mothership is a Scorestreak in Call of Duty: Black Ops III. It is a powerful vtol aircraft armed with multiple powerful turrets and an array of rocket launchers. Teammates can take control of secondary turrets which grants the Mothership the ability to engage multiple targets simultaneously. The player who earned the scorestreak will take control of the main turret, which has unlimited ammo and will never overheat, and will have access to the rocket launchers, which fire in volleys of four before reloading. The rockets also have unlimited ammo. The player in the main gunner position is able to control when the Mothership changes position. Secondary gunners will control smaller turrets. If a secondary gunner kills a player, both the main gunner and the secondary gunner will receive a score bonus. The mothership will last 90 seconds on the map. The time will not begin until the Mothership reaches one of it's positions on the map, and the Mothership can still engage targets before then while it flies towards its position.

If you call in a Mothership
When in control of the primary gunner spot on a Mothership you control the position of the Mothership. Use this to move to either an objective point to defend it, or to a high traffic area.

Because teammates will likely try to operate the secondary turrets, much of your team's position will remain the same, and therefore so will the enemy's spawn. The positioning of the Mothership has no effect on the enemy spawn points so it is possible to position it above the enemy spawn and greatly reduce the number of enemies that are available to target the objectives.

If an ally calls in a Mothership
It may be tempting to to jump onto the gunner positions of an allied Mothership to attack the enemies, but like all other controlled scorestreaks you will be unable to move or capture objectives while operating the guns. Consider what position you would be the most useful to your team.
