How To Use Perk Combat Specialties in Black Ops 6

Black Ops 6 introduces a brand-new Perk system to Multiplayer. Perks in specific categories can now be combined for extra bonuses called Combat Specialties. Here’s how to use Perk Combat Specialties in Black Ops 6.

How To Equip Perk Combat Specialties in Black Ops 6 Loadouts

In the Black Ops 6 Create-a-Class, you’ll notice a new category of item called a Specialty. In many Loadouts, this Specialty slot will be greyed out, as certain parameters need to be met to unlock it.

Each Perk in Black Ops 6 falls into one of three categories. There are Red Perks, which fall under the Enforcer category. Blue Perks, which fall under the Recon category, and Green Perks, which make up the Strategist category. To unlock a Combat Specialty, players will need to equip three perks with a matching color and Combat Specialty category.

Every Combat Specialty in Black Ops 6

As of the Beta’s first weekend, there are three Combat Specialties. Here’s a list of all of them:

• Enforcer Combat Specialty: Killing enemies grants a temporary buff to movement speed and health regen rate.
• Recon Combat Specialty: Enemies can be seen through walls for a short time after respawning, a HUD edge indicator flashes when an enemy is outside your view (similar to the High Alert Perk in prior Call of Duty games), and players leave no death skulls when killing enemies.
• Strategist Combat Specialty: Earn a score bonus for objectives and destroyed enemy content (like equipment, Field Upgrades, and Scorestreaks). See enemy content through walls a short distance and deploy equipment and field upgrades faster.
