For the tactical grenade in Call of Duty: Black Ops, see Willy Pete.

The White Phosphorus is a killstreak in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare multiplayer.

Campaign

A White Phosphorus is used in Fog of War to strike Barkov's depot.

Multiplayer

"Cover the battlefield with white smoke incendiary canisters that will weaken the enemy and burn any that wander too close."
— Description

Once the target is designated, a Su-25 flies in a straight line and drops several white phosphorus canisters on its path, obscuring the map with a white fog that can hinder vision for both teams. The canisters will burn for a period of time upon landing which can burn those who came too close and kill players with direct hits when being dropped. It is basically a lesser version of Napalm Strike in Black Ops.

Trivia
