Black Ops 6: All leaked Perks so far & Perk Specialities explained

Black Ops 6: All leaked Perks so far & Perk Specialities explained

As a battle-hardened veteran of countless Call of Duty campaigns, I can’t help but feel a mix of excitement and nostalgia when I gaze upon this tantalizing leak. The familiar names on this list, like old comrades returning from the trenches, serve as a stark reminder of the countless hours spent in virtual combat zones. Yet, the new additions promise to breathe fresh life into our arsenal, making every engagement feel like a brand-new tactical challenge.


In Black Ops 6, perks serve as adjustable elements within the loadout system that enable you to customize specific playing characteristics for your Operator.

The evolution of the Perk system in the series of Call of Duty games has been significant, with Modern Warfare 3 breaking down perks into Gear. However, Black Ops VI appears to revert back to a more conventional Perk system. Yet, it’s essential to note that there’s an additional twist concerning Specialities that you should be mindful of.

I’ll guide you through all the revealed Perks thus far, as well as how Specialized skills can prove to be a significant advantage for clever gamers.

In all, it’s rumored that there could be as many as 21 new perks emerging for the multiplayer aspect of Black Ops 6. These potential perks are divided into three distinct categories, allowing players to choose a perk from each segment.

Just as some Scorestreaks seen previously have been leaked, this list also includes several familiar characters from past Call of Duty titles, along with many fresh faces as well.

In addition to three Perks, you can also equip one of three Wildcards to your loadout:

WildcardDescription
OverkillEquip any non-melee weapon in Primary and Secondary slots.
GunfighterGet 3 extra attachment points for your Primary weapon.
Perk GreedEquip an extra Perk.

To absolutely confirm which Perks and Wildcards will be part of Black Ops 6’s initial release, we’ll have to wait for additional details from Activision. We expect to receive this information during the COD NEXT event on August 28, 2024.

Perk Specialties explained

In the updated Perk system, Perk Specialties offers unique benefits for players who select Perks with related characteristics, enhancing their gaming experience.

In Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, the Perks will be divided into three distinct groups: Enforcer, Recon, and Strategist. When a player equips all three Perks from a single category, they’ll receive an extra bonus as follows:

  • 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

Obtained through a secret source, this data is tentatively valid but subject to revision at any moment. For now, it seems that these enhancements are exceptionally strong. Skilled players who customize their gear to match a particular strategy might find Perk Specialties highly profitable for the right operator.

This guide is a work in progress. We’ll update it as we learn more about the game.
