Advanced Warfare - Scorestreaks / Killstreaks
Racking up consecutive kills without dying builds your score and earns you scorestreak rewards. You also earn additional points for performing actions that are beneficial to your team, like completing objectives and taking out enemy air support.
The Pick 13 system in Advanced Warfare has moved the scorestreaks to your class loadout and made them completely optional. If you want, you can skip them and use their extra allocation points on other areas of your loadout, like attachments and perks. You can equip a maximum of 3 scorestreaks, but a 4th slot can be unlocked for an additional cost by selecting the "Streaker" Wildcard.
Each kill earns you 50-100 points depending on the game mode, while completing objectives yield better rewards, for example, capturing the enemy flag gives you 150 points.
The Hardline perk can be used to decrease the cost of each streak reward by 100 points.
Customization
All the killstreaks in AW can be customized with modules for added functionality. For example, the UAV can be upgraded to scramble the enemy radar.
Every installed module, however, increases the cost of the streak reward. Like in the example above, the UAV normally costs 400 points but adding the Scramble module increases it by 200 points - the UAV now has a score requirement of 600 points before it can be called in.
The more powerful the module is, the more it will increase the streak's score requirement.
Some killstreaks, like the UAV and Orbital Care Package, can be upgraded to work similar to the Support Strike Package from MW3. The "Support" module will make a scorestreak retain all points that were earned towards it after death - this way you don't need to start completely from scratch after respawning.
DNA Bomb
Hidden killstreak that works like the MOAB nuke from Modern Warfare 3. Once the DNA Bomb is deployed, the enemy team is eliminated - the detonation also leaves behind a green mist for a short duration that can limit your vision.
The DNA Bomb is earned after getting 30 kills with your normal weapons.
