How to unlock the Hunter's Instinct Perk in Black Ops 6

The Hunter's Instinct Perk belongs to the Enforcer (Red) category. To unlock it, you must complete the Armory challenge by earning 100,000 XP.

Follow these steps to activate the challenge:

• Go to the Barracks section.
• Select Challenges.
• Navigate to Armory.
• Activate the Hunter's Instinct challenge.

Once activated, accumulate 100,000 XP to unlock the Hunter's Instinct Perk.

Before diving into the details of this new Perk, let's briefly go over the Perk system in Black Ops 6.

Currently, the game features 25 Perks divided into three categories: Enforcer, Strategist, and Recon. Players can equip three Perks in their loadout by default. Additionally, the Specialist system grants a special ability if all three Perk slots are filled with Perks from the same category.

Hunter’s Instinct falls under the Enforcer (Red) class, which is tailored for aggressive players who are always on the hunt for kills. This Perk has a unique effect, when you eliminate an enemy, the nearest opponent gets briefly marked. A narrow cone appears on your mini-map after each elimination, indicating the general direction of your next target.

The Hunter's Instinct Perk is particularly useful on smaller maps, where quick engagements are common. On the new map, Bullet, the Perk shines as most fights happen in narrow, congested carriages, making it easier to track enemies and chain eliminations effectively.
