The record for the youngest person to ever set off a nuke in Call Of Duty looks like it belongs to a seven-year-old boy named Taj.
Unlocking the Tactical Nuke killstreak and then setting its mechanism off is one of the hardest feats to pull off in Call Of Duty.
It doesn’t only require you to win five consecutive matches but also collect a number of elements spread across the map of Al Mazrah before finally assembling it. It’s a high risk, high reward task that will ensure you a win and reward you with a special victory screen, as well as various in-game items.
Even the most experienced players have a hard time detonating a nuke and yet a seven-year-old boy has proved it’s a piece of cake for him.
Taj was playing Warzone 2 with his dad, Twitch streamer TheGigaDad, when the duo decided to embark on the difficult mission.
Their efforts soon proved to be fruitful with Taj being the one who detonated the deadly weapon and eliminating all their opponents.
His dad couldn’t believe his eyes, simultaneously realising that his son is possibly the youngest person to achieve this in Warzone.
‘We did it guys! Oh my God! We did it! A seven-year-old boy with a nuclear weapon, the youngest in the world… He is in the second grade,’ TheGigaDad said.
On top of that, the streamer later suspected that they might also be the only father-son duo to drop a nuke in the game.
As soon as his post started getting traction on Twitter, fellow gamers were quick to congratulate them on their Warzone achievement.
One fellow player even joked that all his kids play are games like Roblox and Minecraft, and won’t join him on his Warzone adventures.
That is awesome, big GG’s. I hope to get a nuke one of these days best I have done so far is 2 in a row.

TheGigaDad has been gaming with his son since he was five-years-old, so he’s already got a few years of practice under his belt.
The streamer also pointed out that Taj managed to pull off a nuke before his hero Nickmercs, which made him particularly happy.
Thanks for sharing brother. Taj got a nuke before his hero @NICKMERCS, so his confidence is soaring. Hope to game with my son for decades to come 🥰

Despite TheGigaDad allowing his son to play Warzone 2 with him, the age rating for the game is 18, which means that only adults are advised to engage with its content.
Not long ago an 11-year-old streamer was banned from Twitch for playing Valorant (age rating 16) even though his parents were with him the entire time.
If TheGigaDad continues to feature Taj in his streams, it’s possible that his channel will also get suspended… though so far, he’s been ban-free.
