Call of Duty

Almost every single part of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 has leaked online ahead of the Beta release on August 30, 2024. Of course, this isn’t great for Call of Duty, but it’s incredible for the fans as we know more than ever about the upcoming game. One of the biggest changes in Black Ops 6 is the introduction of Perk Specialities. So here’s everything you need to know about Perks in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6.

What are Perk Specialities in Black Ops 6?

Perk Specialities is a brand new system which will reward players for using Perks which are in the same category. Every Perk in Black Ops 6 is in the Enforcer, Recon or Strategist category, and using three Perks from the same one will grant the player a buff.

• Enforcer: Killing enemies grants a temporary buff to movement speed and health regen rate
• Recon: Enemies can be seen through walls for a short time after respawning, a HUD edge indicator flashes when an enemy is outside your view, leave no death skulls when killing enemies
• Strategist: Earn a score bonus for objectives and destroying enemy content through walls a short distance, deploy equipment and field upgrades faster
