As Season One continues in Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, the last of the season’s new weapons is now available; the Streetsweeper. This powerful firearm offers the highest ammo capacity of any shotgun, combined with an impressive fire rate.
Black Ops Cold War: The Streetsweeper
As per usual, to unlock the new Black Ops Cold War Streetsweeper, you’ll need to complete a new in-game challenge. Once unlocked, the shotgun will be usable in the core Multiplayer, as well as both Zombies and Warzone. The challenge itself is simply to get 3 kills without dying with a shotgun… but you’ll need to do it in no less than 15 different matches. As such, it’s more of an endurance challenge than one requiring expert-level skill.
Of course, as usual, there is another way to get your hands on the Streetsweeper; by purchasing a new store bundle. The “Shock Value” store bundle is now available to buy, and contains four items, including the “Surge Protector” Weapon Blueprint. This weapon is a specific Streetsweeper blueprint with some powerful attachments; the Quickdot LED Optic, Steady Aim Laser, 14.6″ Ranger Barrel, SAS Combat Stock, and STANAG 18 Rnd Drum. However, if you want to progress through the Streetsweeper’s camo challenges and level it up, then you’ll need to unlock it via the normal challenge route.
According to Activision, the Streetsweeper is a; “Full-auto shotgun,” which has a; “superior fire rate with reliable damage and the largest ammo pool in class. Hand loaded with slower reload speeds”. The weapon boasts extremely higher firepower but relatively low speed, reducing its handling mobility and accuracy. This makes it ideal for clearing areas of multiple enemies at close range in a barrage of shells. Of course, the extra ammo capacity does come at the cost of reload speed, leaving you vulnerable for longer between bursts.
