How to unlock all Black Ops 6 Perks & Wildcards

Black Ops 6 includes 21 Perks for players to utilize alongside Combat Specialty bonuses and Wildcards, so here is everything you need to know about each.

The latest Call of Duty brings major changes such as Omnimovement and the return of franchise staples like classic Prestige and Wildcards. While the Perk system has gone back to its more traditional roots, the new Combat Specialist system shakes things up.

While we had chance to try out a handful of Perks in the beta, Treyarch have revealed the full lineup for its October 25 launch, so here’s the full list and how to unlock them all.

Black Ops 6 Perk Combat Specialty bonuses 

Players will receive a special bonus if they choose all three Perks from the same Combat Specialty. 

Here are the different Combat Specialties that will be included in BO6 and the bonuses players receive for picking three Perks from each:

• Enforcer: Killing enemies temporarily buffs 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, and you leave no death skulls when killing enemies
• Strategist: Earn a score bonus for objectives and destroying enemy equipment, see equipment through walls, and deploy Field Upgrades and equipment faster

If you’re struggling to get the ideal class with three Perks from the same specialty, you can use the Perk Greed Wildcard to equip another.
