The newest installment of Call of Duty introduces substantial innovations, including a feature known as Omnimovement along with the reintroduction of beloved elements like Prestige and Wildcards.

Perk Combat Specialty Bonuses in Black Ops 6

Players who select three Perks from the same Combat Specialty will unlock a unique bonus.

The following are the Combat Specialties available in BO6 along with the bonuses activated by choosing three Perks within the same specialty:

Enforcer: Temporarily boosts movement speed and health regeneration after eliminating enemies.
Recon: Grants visibility of enemies through walls shortly after respawning, displays a HUD edge indicator for off-screen enemies, and leaves no death markers upon defeating foes.
Strategist: Accrues score bonuses for completing objectives and destroying enemy equipment; additionally, it reveals equipment through walls and expedites Field Upgrade deployment.

If you find it challenging to create an optimal class featuring three Perks from a single specialty, consider utilizing the Perk Greed Wildcard to equip an additional Perk.
