Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold Warhas seen just about everything leak over recent weeks. Yesterday, anewBlack Ops Cold Wargame mode leaked, with a decent chunk of the game’s perk lineup appearing in the same bit of early gameplay.
The multiplayer component ofBlack Ops Cold Warseems to be doing some new things based on the leaks for the game and the few official glimpses players have had at the game’s online content. From large, vehicle-based desert maps to new modes, Treyarch seems to be making some noteworthy changes to theCall of Dutyformula. On the perk front, however, things seem to be a bit closer to what is expected fromCall of Duty.

Within the seven minutes ofBlack Ops Cold Wargameplay accidentally leakedby a Twitch streamer, lucky viewers caught a glimpse of various perks and wildcards in the create-a-class. Classic perks are seen, such as Flak Jacket, which grants explosive resistance and Scavenger, which allows for ammo refills from dead enemies. Tac Mask and its flash/concussion resistance join the lineup, as does Ninja.
PerhapsCall of Duty’smost iconic perk, Ghost, will feature withinBlack Ops Cold War. Whether it is as strong as the version inModern Warfareremains to be seen, as Ghost has become part of manyWarzoneand multiplayer loadouts. For balance purposes, it would make sense for it to be more like older versions where players need to keep moving around to stay invisible on radars is unclear. The only potentially new perk in the lineup is called Quartermaster, however this could just be a name change for the Overkill perk that allows for two primary weapons.
Two wildcards were also seen, which include the Danger Close perk that lets players hold two lethal grenades and Perk Greed. Perk Greed explains how the player in the gameplay has 6 perks active at one time. Weapons have 5 attachment slots in the create-a-class as well, with the traditional 5 custom loadouts and 5 default loadouts being available. Shotguns were also seen in the secondary slot, something that has not been seen inCall of Dutyfor some time now. None of the supposedspecialist weapons coming toBlack Ops Cold Warwere seen in the loadouts and were perhaps moved to being scorestreaks.
With a traditional create-a-class system, including guns from theleaked list ofBlack Ops Cold Warweapons such as the AK74u and SPAS-12, this next entry in theBlack Opsseries seems like a traditional TreyarchCall of Dutygame. With the time-to-kill fromModern Warfareincreased back to 150, players will certainly need to make good use of the leaked perks above to score some quick kills.
Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold Warwill be available November 13th on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X upgrades will also be available.
