Best perks in Black Ops 6 — here’s why should use them

The Black Ops 6 perk system is similar to previous installments, with a few tweaks here and there. If you’re looking to enhance your overall viability in the game, here are some of the best perks to use.

BO6 offers incredible customization of both weapons and playstyle. Attachments can transform a basic pistol into a pocket sniper, while perks enhance individual gameplay and progress in Multiplayer.

Treyarch has added 21 perks, divided into three categories: Enforcer, Recon, and Strategist. Using all three perks from the same category grants a bonus slot, but it’s generally a good practice to build a cohesive playstyle rather than just picking random perks.

If you’re still lost, keep reading to find out the best perks to use in Black Ops 6 in each category.

These are the best perks to use in Black Ops 6

Best Perk 1

Aggressive players will typically find themselves in the front lines, running out of ammo, especially if they are using a weapon with a higher fire rate, like an SMG. Scavenger comes in handy in such situations, resupplying ammo and equipment from killed enemies as you go.

Gung-Ho also saves time by reducing movement hindrances when reloading your weapon or using equipment. Moreover, you may also reload during tactical sprinting. Dexterity improves gun accuracy while jumping, sliding, and diving, making it a go-to perk 1 for aggressive players. It also reduces fall damage, which is an added bonus.

Stealthy players will absolutely love the Ghost perk, which makes you undetectable by enemy radar rings and UAVs when moving, planting, defusing, or controlling Scorestreaks. However, you may want to stay on the move at all times to squeeze full juice out of this perk.

Flak Jacket ensures that you’re alive till the very end by protecting you from well-targeted or stray grenades. It’s instrumental in Domination mode, where an explosive could easily ruin your control over an objective.

Best Perk 2

Fast Hands is another time-saving perk, allowing you to swap weapons faster and extend the fuse timer to toss back an incoming grenade. In a fast-paced game, those few seconds can be the difference-maker.

But, if you’re more of a strategist, pick Forward Intel, which increases the size of the minimap, highlighting where revealed enemies are facing. This perk can come in handy for mid-round calling and planning the next move.

Dispatcher reduces score cost for non-lethal Scorestreaks and stacks with tier 3 perk Bankroll.

Best Perk 3

Vigilance, as evident from the name, helps stay alert to danger. This perk displays a HUD icon whenever you appear on enemy minimaps. It’s immune to CUAVs, Scramblers, and enemies using the Sleeper Agent field upgrade.

Players aiming for high Scorestreak should opt for Bankroll as their perk 3. This way, they can start each life with 150 points, giving them a significant head start toward earning a high Scorestreak.

Finally, Quartermaster recharges your equipment over time, and it’s available right away.
