Now I know what you might be thinking, "Um, Jules, pressing a button marked 'World Ender' probably doesn't qualify as a special skill seeing as a trained monkey (and their lesser variant politicians) could perform this destructive feat" - and you know what, friend? You're right!

You're terrifyingly right!

However, when it comes to the recently updated Warzone 2.0, calling in a nuclear strike really is a feat of skill like no other, for in order to irradiate your mates you with your smugness, you'll need to win five games back to back, which is about as likely as winning the lottery by never playing it for someone with my skill level. Then the fun truly begins, as you now not only have to reach a new marker on the map where the bomb is, but also repair it with pieces scattered around the area. Only then can you flip the switch and end the match in supreme fashion... right?

WRONG! You've now got to defend the bomb from all other players who are alerted to your plans, meaning that you now have the whole server on your ass! If, and only if, you can survive all of this will you be allowed to win the game in definitive fashion by wiping the entire play area off the map.

Now that's skill, and a moment for all other players of supreme "WHAT?!" energy.
