Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Perks: A full list and descriptions

In Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, the traditional multiplayer Perk system returns which is music to the ears of most fans of the franchise.

This means while new systems have been introduced like Omnimovement, there’s more of a classic feel to this game which hopefully benefits players new and old.

Here, we’ll give you a full rundown of the Black Ops 6 Perks system giving you a full list of what you can equip so you can start thinking about crafting the best setup before the Beta.

How does the Black Ops 6 Perks system work?

As previously mentioned, Black Ops 6 moves back to the more traditional Perk setup that most know and love.

This means you’ll be utilizing three different perks to enhance your character, allowing you to create combinations that work in different game modes.

The three perks are separated into three different sections, meaning you can only pick one from each, hopefully meaning that no one is too overpowered.

There is an additional Combat Speciality element added to the game also which can enhance the perks you’ve selected, but you must select three of the same type to gain the bonus.
