Perks in Black Ops 6 have undergone significant changes. At launch, there are a total of 21 Perks in the game divided into three categories of 7 each. These Perk classes are Enforcer, Recon, and Strategist. Right out of the bat, these categories may not mean much. However, each of the Perk classes carries unique attributes. For instance, the Enforcer Perks (Red) are designed to assist the duelists who are constantly hunting for the kills.

Similarly, the Recon Perks (Blue) in the game, provide players with crucial intel on the battlefield and they also help the player deny intel for enemies.

Players have the option to pick three Perks in their loadout by default. Meaning, that there are three Perk slots for players to begin with, which can be increased by using a Wildcard. On top of that, a new Specialist system is added using which if players equip three Perks of the same class on all three slots, they'll gain a special ability.

For example, if a player picks Enforcer Perks on all three slots, they will attain the Enforcer Combat Speciality, which will grant the player a temporary movement speed buff after every kill as well as faster health regeneration.

Now that the basics of the new Perk system are out of the way, let us take a closer look at all the Perks in the game and how you can unlock them.
