Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 will feature a perk system close to the traditional one, but with a few twists to make things interesting.
Thanks to the leaks that came out in the past few days, most of the perks that will be available at launch have already been revealed. Even though we are still waiting for an official reveal via the COD Next 2024 event, we have gathered everything confirmed so far.
How do Black Ops 6 perks work?
Treyarch has revealed perks in Black Ops 6 are split into the following categories:
- Enforcer
- Recon
- Strategist
Each loadout features three perks from either category. If players choose to pick three perks from the same category, they'll receive a Speciality that grants even more benefits. For example, pick three Enforcer perks and you'll receive speed and health regeneration increases after scoring a kill.
