Your character’s outfit is directly related to the primary weapon you choose, the environment you’re fighting in, and the factions involved (U.S. Forces, British Spec Ops, Spetsnaz, etc.). Choose the right skin for the map. Sometimes you’ll need to sacrifice your weapon of choice to get the best camouflage for a certain map, so choose what suits you best on a per-map basis. Your weapons can be painted as well. You can unlock weapon camo by ranking up or via specific challenges. Try to select a camo pattern that gives you the best concealment for each map, and that matches your character’s skin.

Kill Streak Bonuses: Air Support
There are three different types of air support that you can use when you go on a kill streak. Remember that you don’t have to use them right away; they’ll still be available to you after you respawn.
| 3-Kill Streak | Call in a UAV. This bonus will give you a radar sweep of the entire map and reveal all enemy locations in motion. UAVs only last for a short period of time, so use them wisely. Try to coordinate your UAVs with your teammates so that you don’t waste one of your radar sweeps. |
|---|---|
| 5-Kill Streak | Call in an airstrike. This will send in a formation of jets to drop bombs on a location of your choosing. You can flip to the entire map view and reposition the crosshairs to tell your air support team exactly where you want the strike to take place. Make sure to notify your teammates and check the maps for friendlies before you call in the strike. |
| 7-Kill Streak | Call in the chopper. If you’re man enough to achieve this bonus, you’re in for a treat. When you call in helicopter support, a chopper armed with a single minigun and missiles will eliminate your enemies and rack up points for you until the other team shoots it down. Remember that any weapon will damage the helicopter, so shoot at enemy choppers with anything you’ve got. |
