Call of Duty YouTuber TheXclusiveAce recently discovered that the Swarm may have received a stealth buff, turning the once otherwise average Modern Warfare 3 killstreak into a force to be reckoned with.
Through manual testing, TheXclusiveAce deduced that the Swarm killstreak was buffed in MW3 at some point recently without official confirmation in patch notes. The YouTuber shared footage from a private match recorded in January where, as long as a player ran at least 4.9 meters per second and didn’t stop for too long, a Swarm killstreak couldn’t kill them. Flash forward to March 25 in a private match on Wasteland and TheXclusiveAce got killed while sprinting at 5.9 meters per second, which is significantly faster.
