If you’re looking for an effective solution to the Ghost Perk locked bug in Black Ops 6, you’re in the right place.

The Recon Perk category was recently nerfed after player complains against the built-in wallhack. Now, Activision has accidentally nerfed it some more by keeping the Ghost Perk locked for all players.

Recon is considered as a powerful combat specialty in Black Ops 6 Multiplayer. It is achieved by slotting in three blue Perks, with players often opting for a few popular choices.

Ghost is the go-to Perk for staying stealthy on the move, even against enemy UAVs. So, when Season 1 launched and players found it unavailable, it sparked widespread panic.

After loading the Black Ops 6 Season 1 update, players complained about being unable to equip Ghost despite their high game levels. It appeared locked even for those who used it prior to the update while trying to create a new loadout.

The great news is that Activision has acknowledged the Ghost Perk locked bug, and it’s one of their priorities, as seen on the Black Ops 6 Trello board. But what do you do while the developer irons out whatever it is that’s wrong with Ghost?

The Ghost Perk can still be used by players who already have it equipped in any of their loadouts. All you need to do is duplicate it, and you’re good.

Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to do it:

When is the exciting Black Ops 6 Ranked Play coming?
  1. Go to Weapons then head to the loadout screen.
  2. Select a loadout that already has Ghost equipped as a Perk.
  3. Click on Ghost, and then duplicate it by copying it to a new slot.
  4. Make other changes to the loadout, but leave Ghost untouched.
  5. Save the loadout and enjoy the locked perk.

This fix has resolved the issue for most players who reported the bug.

However, be careful not to accidentally remove the Perk, as Ghost is currently only available to those who already have it equipped. Players who haven’t used it yet will need to wait for the bug to be patched to access this powerful Perk.
