Warzone Season 1 brings a host of new perks to the game as part of the long-awaited integration with Black Ops 6.
A new chapter of Warzone is about to begin, as all of the guns and omnimovement from BO6 make their way over to the Battle Royale for the first time. But it isn’t just the weapons that are moving over, the Perk system is also being overhauled, along with the addition of Wildcards.

Warzone’s integration with Black Ops 6 marks the return of the Pick 3 Perk system, doing away with the packages of four seen in previous versions.
Just like in multiplayer, players can select three different Perks, one from each category, to equip to their loadout. The main difference is that Warzone doesn’t use Combat Specialities, so there’s no bonus reward for choosing effects that complement each other.
To make sure that BR remains balanced though, certain Perks have moved into different slots. For example, Ghost is Perk 3 in Warzone instead of Perk 1.

On top of your custom loadout, there are also two Perks that can only be found as ground loot in-game: Irradiated and Shrouded. These can’t be equipped beforehand, so you’ll need to open containers and search buildings if you want their effects too.
All Wildcards & how to get them
| Wildcard | How to unlock | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Bandolier | Level 15 | Your loadout provides a Munitions Satchel. |
| Overkill | Level 24 | Equip two primary or secondary weapons. |
| Gunfighter | Level 33 | Equip three extra attachments to your Primary weapon. |
| Battle Ready | Level 38 | Your loadout provides a UAV and Utility Box. |
Black Ops 6 also brings Wildcards to Warzone for the first time. Only one of them can be equipped to your loadout, but they grant powerful bonuses like being able to run eight attachments or a free UAV.
You’ll also notice that Overkill is now locked behind a Wildcard too, rather than being applied as standard. So, if you like to run a Sniper Rifle and SMG to cover yourself at all ranges, you’ll need to get to Level 24 and equip it.
Those were all the Perks available to you, so all that’s left to do now is choose the right combination for both big map and Area 99, and pick one of the best guns in Warzone to run with them.
