Call of Duty changed forever with the addition of perks way back in 2007’s CoD 4: Modern Warfare. It’s hard to imagine the franchise without them now.
Now, in Black Ops 6, perks may be more important than ever thanks to a new feature called Combat Specialty. Using the right combination of perks could give you another bonus during gameplay, and they sound very strong.
Here’s the full list of all perks in BO6 so far.
