World at War Killstreaks
World at War has three fixed multiplayer rewards: Recon Plane at 3 kills, Artillery at 5, and Attack Dogs at 7.
How killstreaks work
A fixed 3–5–7 reward set
Kill enemies consecutively without dying to earn each reward. There is no custom killstreak loadout or Hardline perk in the original game.
Turn reconnaissance into support
Use the Recon Plane to locate exposed enemies before placing Artillery. Artillery kills count toward your streak and can take you from the five-kill reward to Dogs.
Rewards do not repeat in one life
Reaching 14 kills in the same life does not award a second pack of Dogs. The reward sequence starts again after you die.
