You’ll be familiar with Call of Duty: Warzone 2 perk packages if you’ve played Modern Warfare 2. These are essentially a set of four predefined perks, two of which are active at the start of a match and two which activate at a set time during any given game. Choosing the right one is vital if you’re planning your best Warzone 2 loadout.
It’s not possible to select custom perks in Warzone 2 right now, though this is something you can do in Modern Warfare 2’s multiplayer so it’s not a reach to think it might come to the battle royale in the future. In the meantime, I’ve listed the Warzone 2 perks below, what they do, and the predefined perk packages that are available.
All Warzone 2 perks
There are 17 perks to choose from in Warzone 2 and these are broken down into three categories. Base perks are active from the start of the match, Bonus perks will activate after four minutes and Ultimate perks come online after eight minutes.
In Modern Warfare 2’s multiplayer, this time can be lessened by increasing your score but it’s unclear if a similar mechanic is in place in Warzone 2.
Here are the Warzone 2 perks, broken down by category:
