The Call of Duty franchise has been revolutionized by the introduction of numerous innovative features in Modern Warfare II. Apart from the remarkable enhancements to its visuals and gameplay, significant changes have been made to the weapons and create-a-class system. In addition to the ability to fully personalize attachments, Infinity Ward has taken it a step further by allowing players to equip 4 perks simultaneously, eliminating the need for Wildcard.

What specific changes have been made to perks? Additionally, what perks can we expect to see in MWII?

New Perk System In Modern Warfare 2

Instead of choosing three individual perks in Modern Warfare 2, players have the option to customize their own perk package. This package includes two “Base Perks”, one “Bonus Perk”, and one “Ultimate Perk”. At the beginning of the match, players start with the selected “Base Perks”. As the match progresses, the “Bonus Perk” becomes unlocked after approximately four minutes, followed by the unlocking of the “Ultimate Perk” at around eight minutes into the match.

By scoring kills, assists, or completing objectives, players can expedite the unlocking process of perks. Several content creators have conducted tests on this, and according to JGOD, each kill reduces the waiting time for the next perk by approximately 12.5 seconds.
