The ULTIMATE Black Ops 6 Perk and Specialty Tier List

[@MusmiBlackOps]

What do you think about my ratings for the perks in Black Ops 6?! 🤔

[@ControllerOverheat]

If we are rating these perks in a vacuum and not taking into account what slot they are on/ specialists, Scavenger > Quartermaster. Instantly recharges equipment and ammo and it's not as difficult as you make it out to pick them up. Also Dispatcher should be moved up, I don't understand why its so low, I wish my teammates ran it more often especially with Bankroll, which could also be moved up to meh tier (Benefits of a UAV for the whole team benefits washes all of the lower than 'Decent' tier perks out the water). The rest of the list looks accurate. Also for most people I'd like to note Dexterity is not good at all compared to other perks unless you are a movement demon (lots of jump-shotting and especially diving), I'd watch XclusiveAce's video for details on that.

[@darklord-uz1rm]

I'm curious on your opinion on a scorestreak tierlist for this game since it would be entertaining seeing your thoughts on it

[@TheSceletonx]

@@ControllerOverheat also guardian being in unusuable tier is joke :D that perk is insanely good on hardpoint/domination/control if you actually play on objective.

[@MusmiBlackOps]

@@darklord-uz1rm this is definitely something I can do!

[@MusmiBlackOps]

@@TheSceletonx I'll have to test it some more then!

[@dallas768]

Stratagists is borderline op in kill confirmed. You get 100 points for every enemy tag and 65 points for ally tags. You can get soo many scorestreaks

[@MusmiBlackOps]

Haha yeah that's pretty insane! I don't really play kill confirmed but that sounds good for levelling 🔥

[@Reflex384]

Combining it with bankroll makes getting streaks busted

[@Puckett.]

If you’re playing kill confirmed also consider using assassin. Since you’re running over tags anyway you’ll also grab the assassin bounty which gives even more score.

[@swiftblaqness]

Not really bro. I run this setup all the time and sure I get more points from it but kill streaks in this gamer are too high for the amount of points you get. And the amount of times you die, I almost never make it past a fucking UAV

[@swiftblaqness]

OP on in the sense that everything else in this game sucks, maybe

[@TheDuck947]

I want them to add a “rainbow” specialty where u need one of each color perk. Would make everything so much more versatile. I’m not sure what it should do but it needs to be weaker than the others since it would probably become what everyone runs if it’s super good

[@MusmiBlackOps]

I think that would actually be a really cool idea!

[@jakeaghaian]

Nahhhh man keep that rainbow 🌈🦄🏳️‍🌈 sh!t out of the game.

[@emwols]

“All arounder” and should give something from similar to each of specialties at a weaker level such as 1% boost to all movement speeds, 10% extra score on destroy, 5% larger minimap

[@JLchevz]

yeah that could be interesting

[@mrcodmonger]

I feel like it should also be worth using. If it's too weak there would be no point in running it. If it's too strong there's no point in using the other specialty perks. It should be balanced and have a clear benefit but also a clear takeaway like you gain one advantage but lose another. Although it would be hard because there are so many perk combos that if it's not balanced right could make It way too op especially with the perk greed wild card. I have an Idea. Take wall hacks off recon and put it as a rainbow specialty perk by itself and dont change it. Being a rainbow perk you must use 3 different colored perks no 2 can be the same color. It will prevent you from making it op with multiple blue perks. Also it can not be equipped with perk greed wild card so you may only use 3 perks with it. I think that would be fair

[@austinvaneps]

Assassin being in unusable is insane to me. Having enemies marked on your minimap is always going to be useful in respawn game modes.

[@MusmiBlackOps]

Hmmm I'm gonna try using assassin a bit more but I'm still not convinced it's great!

[@zero11010]

On prestige 6. The assassin points aren’t bad and they add up quickly. It’s also on a weak perk slot. I feel like that has to be a factor. Slot 1 and 3 are both really competitive with lots of strong options. Slot 2 is pretty weak.

[@Cobey_Smith]

Assassin shows location almost as strong as harp

[@dumbslut]

Forward momentum does this, but there's no condition to it.

[@thebigbean8783]

Oh yeah. Assassin is soooo good. You're literally hunting the people down that *need* to die.

[@123boy125]

strategist in kill confirmed is INSANE, 50+ score on each tag pick up.

[@MusmiBlackOps]

True true, it's crazy for leveling in objective modes!

[@c.conga11]

Good! Because most people on my team DO NOT grab tags

[@TheMiniMunchinMan]

I absolutely love scavenger, I play mosh pit, small maps, people around every corner. When I’m rushing and being aggressive having that scavenger to pick up stims after every kill is awesome

[@MusmiBlackOps]

I guess on tiny maps then making use of scavenger is much easier!

[@zero11010]

On prestige 6. Scavenger is HUGE! It’s a whole lot more powerful than the assault pack (it’s closer to being on par with assault pack combined with Gearhead). You’re able to pick up supplies from people REALLY often. This allows you to rain down lethals and tacticals. It’s not really about tiny maps. It’s about play style, and to some extent game mode. Obviously on kill confirmed you’re running to that body anyway.

[@swiftblaqness]

Wow I never realized you got stim with scavenger. Good tip

[@loganmacosko5908]

Flak Jacket belongs in a tier of its own. If im running recon or enforcer, I am using the extra perk wildcard so I can still have Flak Jacket.

[@MusmiBlackOps]

Haha yeah it's actually crazy how effective it is!

[@zero11010]

@@loganmacosko5908 I automatically remove this in hardcore. Haven’t checked. Does it prevent your death in hardcore, or is it useless for half of all of multiplayer? I know your health is reduced from 100 to about 30, and when your health was 100 it nearly kills you. Maybe they set it up to leave you at 10% health instead of leaving you at 10 health or whatever.

[@loganmacosko5908]

@zero11010 you can still eat 1 or 2 grenades in hardcore with it on

[@goliathyeti1669]

Flak is in the worst slot

[@Puckett.]

If flak jacket was in perk 2. Then it’d be perfect. It’s also crazy that has good as flak jacket is. It’s technically broken right now. It’s possible to die to an enemy grenade if it lands within about a foot of you. Which in every other COD doesn’t happen. It’s supposed to protect you from grenades no matter how close they are.

Your videos are a part of my daily routine and I won't miss them like I won't miss them like I won't miss a cup of tea after i get in from work.

Oof that's a long day! I'm glad my videos are part of that routine though, so awesome to hear! 🙂

[@SparkyyPlayss]

Personally I like running triple green as a hardcore player. The blue specialty 'High Alert' is pretty pointless as if an enemy gets a jump on you you're nearly always dead. The extra score makes levelling so much easier especially when combined with UAV and CUAV for the assist bonuses. On top of that perk greed with the Bank Roll perk for easier streaks. Great Vid and look forward to more pain in the camo grind!

[@MusmiBlackOps]

Yeah that makes sense haha, not much use knowing when you're being looked at as you'll be dead 😂 triple green has been great for levelling, very nice xp! Haha thanks, we're back to the pain tomorrow 😂

[@KealanJamesBrady]

But getting to see enemy's through walls on respawn is OP in hard core. Have FMJ and most walls are made of paper. Been playing nuketown to farm xp and headshots and I get a wall bang kill to start every life, it's luke having bankroll 😅

[@KealanJamesBrady]

Also I'm an 'always use ninja' type player which is usually my perk greed

[@ericsmana]

Dispatcher makes it so I constantly have a uav and cuav in the air Then the extra scores always get me to the care package. Dispatcher with the bankroll perk and strategist is very powerful for team play. Non stop uav and cuav makes winning easy

[@zero11010]

On behalf of my SAM turret … thank you for the points!

[@MusmiBlackOps]

😂

[@MusmiBlackOps]

I guess I didn't really consider the compounding effect that calling in the streaks would have!

[@Terminatorx304u]

I use it for those two and a harp to help my team out. I can usually call in two or three harps a game with dispatcher on

[@JayDone16]

I run SAM Turret, UAV and CUAV so i personally kinda like Dispatcher. I find that so long as im not dying a crazy ton, i get the streaks pretty frequently.

[@glorfac]

I play hardcore and use Personal radar, UAV, and CUAV. I get all 3 basically every other life and I love it. Dispatch is a must for me

[@MusmiBlackOps]

To be fair if you are only running non lethals then dispatcher is decent but I was coming from the angle that as soon as you aren't running 3 non lethal streaks then the perk becomes significantly worse!

[@zero11010]

Scavenger - You should revisit this. It’s a HUGE perk. Try using shock charge and blast trap or something. See how many you can get out (I’ve had 5 pairs in a single life). Keep a doorway pretty much walled off with frequent molotovs. Or decoy lasts a while and is a big score generator. You can get these out all over with scavenger. Try it on nuke town with the drill bomb and keep taking out anyone in the first floor room … over and over. You get WAY more out of this than with the assault pack. Assault pack is good … throw lethal and tactical, then drop pack for a refill and move on. You can’t loot the pack again for a while though. Scavenger allows you to pick up things QUICKLY! If you’re not using your lethals and tacticals you won’t get anything out of it. It’s also not as useful if you’re playing at a distance. Scavenger is a MUCH better version of assault pack (give or take if you’re able to get to the corpse you just made).

[@MusmiBlackOps]

I really like the detail you've gone to explaining all this! You've definitely convinced me that scavenger is better than I first thought but from my experience I still find I die unnecessarily when using it but I guess that's on me for not playing smart enough!

[@zero11010]

@ focus on trying to make the most out of it. Give it a couple hours. Genuinely try totally different stuff. It’s MORE benefit than two of the wildcards by itself. Yeah? This one perk kinda lets you have 3 wildcards at the same time. There’s almost no reason to EVER run danger close if you can run perk greed and use scavenger instead. And there’s rarely a reason to run tactical expert either. You get something kinda better than danger close because you’ll get more than 2 lethals per life. Scavenger IS many times better than quartermaster. You’ll get more than 3 tactical per life so you get more than tactical expert (unless you’re building to maximize tactical expert or danger close with assault pack and scavenger on top or something). Technically, those wildcards let you restock from assault packs pretty effectively. Which means you can dump two lethals, resupply and dump two more. Or you can refill to your expanded capacity with scavenger (or quartermaster). Kill order game mode requires you run over bodies. Try that game mode for a while. Try the medium maps, or the more confined spaces on larger maps. You’ll be running over bodies unintentionally. Try on game modes like hard point where you are assaulting and defending locations where you naturally pass over a space someone was just in. Try to focus on sub machineguns or shotguns. If you get a daily for point blank kills … throw scavenger on! Or for point black camo requirements. As you start to really see the benefit of scavenger (it’s HUGE), then try to mix in assassin. That is worth a TON of points … but only if you run over the body for the pack. These (obviously) combine well. Decoy is a mini CUAV giving you 15 points per kill anyone gets in that area. More tacticals from scavenger means keeping this up more, and having two up in different hot spots. Add in assassin and now you’re getting 15 for any kill in decoy range plus 30 for each assassin target. It’s HUNDREDS of points being thrown at you pretty quickly. Blast trap and shock charge are a crazy combo with scavenger. You can mine a very large area (until you die and they fade). It’s SUPER strong in modes like free for all.

[@hendrikels2580]

Triple blue is a must. And that the biggest problem

[@MusmiBlackOps]

Yep, I hate it so much! I've been on triple green a lot to get the bonus xp for levelling through prestiges

[@zero11010]

After the 75% nerf the recon benefit is a lot more lackluster.

[@TheSceletonx]

most people play enforcer according to latest data they have shared.

[@MusmiBlackOps]

@TheSceletonx ooh interesting, I was not expecting that actually!

[@thebigbean8783]

Triple blue is trash tbh

[@jackiewawa5150]

Guardian is a god tier perk for domination and hardpoint . If you are in the objective you literally heal so fast. Especially in this game when the objective area/ zone is big asf

[@Odazet]

Assassin lets you see the marked enemy in real time on the minimap for a brief moment.. also if you ping them you get wallhacks on them until they die

[@MusmiBlackOps]

Hmmm looks like I need to try assassin again!

[@mrcodmonger]

Assassin im pretty sure pings for the team unless I'm wrong

[@LONEWOLF_Grvy]

Flak does not need a nerf. The grenade spam and ability to lob hella grenades are a great reason to keep flak as strong as it is.

[@ArchmageKavis]

Quartermaster is crucial in my loadout. I play hardcore and when going on streaks, cycling stims is absolutely necessary

[@MusmiBlackOps]

Fair enough, that makes sense!

I agree with you for the most part, but as someone who plays HC almost exclusively, I'd like to see a separate analysis for HC mode.

[@MusmiBlackOps]

That could be a good idea actually! I don't really play or enjoy hardcore at all though so I'm probably not the best person to make that tier list

[@justinmckee5941]

I like using fast hands with overkill. I can switch to an SMG when I need to sprint somewhere, then switch to a long range weapon. I can also quickly swap weapons if I’m in a fight and just ran out of ammo

[@MusmiBlackOps]

Tbf I never use overkill as I think the other wildcards are better but I did say that I can see fast hands being more useful if you do run two primarys! 🔥

[@jstiltner1113]

The perks are too niche and need an additional benefit to them. Like Fast Hands used to allow you to reload launchers faster in MW19. Gung-ho used to let you fire while sprinting in AW. I think Dexterity used to let you climb faster in BO2?

[@MusmiBlackOps]

Yeah that would be so much better! It's annoying that they're fairly weak and you're forced into choosing certain ones if you want to use a specialty!

[@goskateminnesota7256]

I would LOVE for COD to bring back pro perks like in black ops 1. Add a layer to the perks that encourages people to use the stuff they normally wouldn’t.

I found your channel at the beginning of the camo grind, and I've watched all the videos since then. I really appreciate your clear speech, watching from Brazil as a non-native speaker, it makes it so much easier to understand. I hope you keep it up with the great work and can eventually make a full living from KZbin. Regarding the tier list, the only thing I disagree on is assassin, appart from being way better than Bruiser for Enforcer, I've had many instances where the map ping showing the enemy player saved me

The annoying thing about shadow is that if you’re going for an all green build and have to use it since dispatch and Fast Hands are so bad. Once you unlock combat specialist it reveals enemy equipment. So you’ll be able to see the traps that Shadow is protecting you from. Making shadow even less useful.

[@rehobothpromotions]

Well done video. CUAV blocks all minimap info and now takes two rocks to take out, making the vigilance perk useful. No way extending tac sprint with Double time is "OP". Most perk options are spot on or no more than one tier off. "Like" earned

@@MusmiBlackOpsplay kill confirmed for like .. 2 hours. There’s a whole game mode where you need to run over that body. Run more sub machineguns and shotgun for a bit. With closer range combat you’ll run over your targets more often, even accidentally. Trying this out will show you more about how scavenger and assassin work. You could spend WAY more than 2 hours with scavenger. It’s basically stronger than 2 of the wildcards by itself (getting more tacticals and more lethals is a big deal). There is a LOT you can do with it. * spit out a stream of concussions or flash bangs to impact the other team and … also impact your own team. * get decoys out constantly for more score than you can get from a CUAV * run with spycam and give never ending wall hacks for your team. * if you run with a squad in voice chat arrange to all have thermal optics and run a million smoke grenades and your team can see and the others are blind (it’s hell for people without thermal … if you’re not in hardcore mode about all you can do to counter is run around with your dagger spamming knife attacks) * nearly limitless stim shots is obviously useful for an aggressive play style (if not in hardcore).

[@swiftblaqness]

Your video pointed out another gripe I have with this stupid perk setup. With both of the red perks in the second tier slot being useless it makes the enforcer even more ridiculous because you basically have to pick up pointless perk in order to get that one.

[@hoagieland3716]

Strategist (with dispatcher) + bankroll + UAV + CUAV + War Cry or Signal Lure in objective modes is basically the only way to reasonably obtain high end streaks without getting lucky from a care package. Especially pre patch when UAV/CUAV assists provided +15 score instead of the +5 score they do now. But I’ve gotten the Dreadnaught with as little as a 7 kill streak using this strategy

[@MusmiBlackOps]

Oh wow that sounds pretty crazy, I'll definitely give that combo a go!

[@hoagieland3716]

@ Oh one more thing I forgot to add was run prox alarm and quartermaster since every time an enemy is detected, you get +15 score and teammates killing said enemy will also give you another +15 score

[@carpetworms_]

Scavenger + dex + stim are an awesome combo if you’re running around and hyper aggressive

[@MusmiBlackOps]

Yeah that's pretty disgusting for chaining kills together!

[@zero11010]

Dexterity does almost nothing. Another channel did a really deep dive on it looking frame by frame and what it does. There’s almost nowhere that fall damage matters. The frame by frame comparison of slide with and without shows it does almost nothing to rein in fully automatic fire when sliding. The frame by frame comparison for fully automatic fire while jumping shows it does a bit there. So … if you jump a LOT in firefights it’s reasonably useful. For anything else it’s useless. Try flak jacket, scavenger, assassin or tracker, then gearhead or doubletime. With the enforcer specialty you’ll get a little less out of stim which can open you up for other tacticals. Or, combine stim and scavenger to tons of access. Scavenger will help you level up lethals and tacticals for mastery bonus XP. Gearhead will do the same for field upgrades. Gearhead also helps use sleeper agent to get behind enemy lines to wreck havoc with aggressive play. Though, you can combine with war cry … so you get healing from stim and more stims from scavenger, and you get healing from war cry, and you get healing from enforcer. Plus speed boost from war cry and also double time.

[@carpetworms_]

@ I saw that vid ur talking about. jumping seems to be pretty massive in core but useless in hc. I’ll test out the others you suggested. I’m going to see if I like gung ho more.

[@zero11010]

@@carpetworms_ the big use for gung-ho is the speed while reloading. Think about how often you reload in the open where what you need is specifically sprint speed. You usually want to reload in some kind of cover. Often in a firefight you can swap to secondary faster than you can reload, and in a firefight sprint speed often isn’t what you need (if you’re trying to run away … don’t reload and run at full speed). Plus you get the sweet hot swap 25xp bonus for switch to another weapon to take someone out.

Yeah fair enough! I was a big osrs player before doing this full time so it's cool to see a profile pic from osrs 🔥

[@Puckett.]

For Gearhead. I think you’re misunderstanding what the real benefit of this perk is. Suppose you’re running trophy systems. Gearhead allows you to charge your 2nd trophy system while you wait to find a good spot to place your first. Usually when you charge a field upgrade. You have to use it soon because it’s wasting the time you’d be charging your next one but Gearhead allows you to continue charging. I think Gearhead is a must use perk in objective game modes like domination/hardpoint if you’re going for objectives which if you’re using the green combat specialist you should be going for objectives. So it really complements the specialist perk well.

[@nabilghadban8229]

Scavenger is essential for long streaks, plus is gives you equipment too is really OP for that. But I do understand it is not suitable for every playstyle.

[@MusmiBlackOps]

Yeah ideally you never really want to be picking up enemy weapons ofc but I feel like scavenger is a perk that's best used in certain situations therefore it's not gonna be OP as it isn't just 'the best' everywhere

[@Texcik]

While I agree that vigilance is bad, the amount of use it gets as being the sole blue perk 3 for the majority of the prestige is making sleeper agent pretty bad.

[@MusmiBlackOps]

Haha yeah true, that's a sad side effect!

[@zero11010]

It’s not really that bad anymore. Since the recon bonus was nerfed twice and is now 75% weaker a LOT fewer people run it. Sleeper agent is pretty great. It’s not 100%. Just like your spring mine or tactical insertion or morphine injector or neurogas aren’t 100%. Keep experimenting with it. It definitely works better in some game types than others and better on some maps than others. It’s also a lot stronger in core than hardcore. I found it WAY easier to get gold mastery on this than most of the other field upgrades. Definitely run gearhead for the 30% recharge rate. Make sure you’re using suppressors with it. Or the throwing axe. Chasing someone with a knife out is very suspicious.

awesome tier list although i disagree wildly with most placements

[@MusmiBlackOps]

Hahaha fair enough 😂

[@zero11010]

Dexterity - Saw an other channel do a really deep dive on this. It’s almost totally useless unless you jump a lot. Very few places where falls matter. Sliding does almost nothing at all. It does SOMETHING but it’s incredibly little. It does a small amount on jump. This is only useful if your play style is a lot of jumping. That’s it. It doesn’t meaningfully help with sliding. Fall damage is rare. If you jump a lot while in the middle of firefights … it’s moderately useful. For anyone else it’s a waste of a perk.

[@MusmiBlackOps]

Ooh this information is great, makes sense and definitely adds up! Yeah I thought this perk wasn't great but I definitely gave it the benefit of the doubt a bit too much!

[@johnmorris1009]

Care packages are a good streak to run in this game. If you go to your team spawn and call one in, you'll often have the opportunity to collect it. They're also more random than in other cod games and you're more likely to get a decent kill streak. So i run one with dispatcher and bankroll every time. Also i would guess on the tiny maps, shadow could be very useful. It's a no brainer; Dispatcher, bankroll and care package on thr bigger maps and shadow and a different streak on the tiny maps.

[@MusmiBlackOps]

Interesting idea! I generally don't like care packages but have got the gold mastery badge with it and never got a streak better than the strategic bomber... Maybe I'm just unlucky though 😂

[@zero11010]

Just finished getting gold mastery on care package. It FEELS like (could be wrong, but it sure feels this way) that most of the time the thing you get is of WAY less value than the cost of the care package itself. It’s a lot of CUAV, scout pulse, RX30, and archangel. Things that require half as much score. Getting a hellstorm or napalm with roughly the same cost (much closer to the same cost than those cheap things) doesn’t make it more valuable. Got the strategic bomber once while getting a gold mastery. Never a chopper gunner or the REALLY big stuff. The payout for the care package is really, really bad. I’ve never tried running RX30 and archangel and also the care package and trying to go all in on those things. Sounds like a lame loadout, but maybe building 900 score to get the care package which gives you 2 archangels and also 2 RX30 then getting another single archangel or another single RX30 could feel fun.

[@dvon1097]

It all depends on play style & game modes. I play hardcore search mostly so i run ninja, double time & shadow mostly

[@Disdain7133]

People use blast traps a lot to stop people from flanking their camping spot. Shadow is useful.

[@tork601]

Back in the days putting on scavenger meant u never ran out of ammo, any dead body gave you ammo, not just your own kills. Now i feel i run out of ammo whenever im trying to be conservative and get a long streak. So assault packs are better now. Scavenger used to be great not broken, now its just very mid

[@BeltSquadCOD]

IMO, these perk rankings will vary based on play style! I run the enforcer specialty and scavenger is very vital because I play very aggressively. I am running all over the map with SMGs and getting a lot of kills and scorestreaks. Dispatcher is also useful if you run UAV and Harps in game. But my ultimate favorite is assassin because of the points we can get when we kill enemies who are on kill streaks. Sometimes I can get 300 points for killing one person with assassin enabled. For some builds however I run perk greed if I am not using gunfighter and this is where some of the useless perks become very valuable. So it strictly depends on how one plays and the style in which they play.

[@irdriel7760]

Enforcer (Red) is just not on the level of the other two right now IMO. Or it's more niche at least. Doesn't help when you're prestige-ing that the only Red Perk 2 option is Assassin, which isn't great, until Level 53 when you get Bruiser (which also isn't great).

[@MusmiBlackOps]

Haha yeah the perk 2 red options really do let the side down 😂😂

[@quuub5089]

for me on mnk dexterity is pretty much a must pick, also with scavenger i never think i need to pick up ammo now, it just happens automaticall and i never run out of ammo its not even something i think about

[@MusmiBlackOps]

Fair enough!

[@Zone6_YTSC]

Scavenger, refills the tact and lethal as well. I recently got into scavenger it’s good.

[@MusmiBlackOps]

Hmmm I'm not convinced but will give it another go!

[@Zone6_YTSC]

@ I agree, but when you murk 2 to 3 bodies in tight quarters, the tact and lethal reload is great. Pair it with Stim

[@moonshine381]

For me scavenger is better than not great. I’m not running for dropped bags after a kill. But it does allow me to pick up ammo as I move along through progressions and I don’t have to waste my slot on the assault pack.

[@swiftblaqness]

Watching your video has helped me to finally put into words why I hate the new perks in call of duty's. The basically split up all the old perks, Plus added some new useless ones. For instance shadow should be just an effect of engineer. I remember back in the modern warfare 3 Black ops 2 days, one perk had like several things it did. For instance assassin in that game made you immune to UAV counter UAV advanced UAV plus some targeting sights if I can remember correctly, probably some other stuff too. But that's my point these recent call of duty perks have been lackluster, they are either poor imitations of former versions. Or split up aspects of a previous perk, The individually suck when not combined. Like forward until and assassin both of those compliment each other those should have been the same perk. It's so stupid basically all the worthwhile perks are in the first category.

[@MusmiBlackOps]

Thanks for the comments, just gonna reply to this one to keep it easy 🙂 I 100% agree that the perks feel like they've just been historical ones that have been split up into multiple worse perks 😂 it also doesn't help that we're kind of forced to commit to certain perks just to get a specialty that is basically a must use! I like the idea of specialties but I guess they are hard to balance - either they're too strong and you have to use them, or they're too weak and not worth going for at all! Glad you enjoyed the video though, got another tier list coming tonight 🙂

[@thebigbean8783]

I see less flak jacket than ever before. Which is insane And yes, melee is bad, but the movement makes it freaking cracked

[@MusmiBlackOps]

I feel like all I see is flak jacket tbh! 😂

[@chriscampbell8544]

I understand we play different game modes at different levels so maybe I just encounter a different volume than others but flash grenades are almost instant death have you not been in games with a white screen for extended periods of time? Hard to even play some maps without Tac Mask

[@MusmiBlackOps]

I genuinely just never see people using flashes and even if someone is I rarely get full flashed by them!

[@dillonc7955]

I'm not sure if we're playing the same game, but weapon swap speeds are slower than they were in all of the recent MW games which are notorious for being slower paced games. Not to mention, there's no quickdraw grip on pistols. I'd give fast hands a decent rating. Also, it makes me wish we had sleight of hand since some of the reloads in this game are brutal, especially LMGs that aren't the PU21 and its side mags.

[@MusmiBlackOps]

Yeah sleight of hand is massively missed, those fast mags just aren't good enough! The weapon swap speed is good but I don't find I'm swapping to a secondary often enough to justify a whole perk for it

[@TheBandit59]

Do you always use the same colors ? Do you mix them up? Do you always use greed? Great video,Sometimes I run all green , plus ninja with greed. I hate losing the extra . Great video, thank you

[@MusmiBlackOps]

I generally just use triple green when I'm camo grinding as they help with leveling! If I was trying to win I'd probably use red or blue perks though

[@jameshansen2668]

[@einaredvardsen]

Running ghost, ninja, forward Intel and bankroll with a supressed gun is the way to go. You become very hard to predict. Could swap out forward Intel for dispatcher

[@MusmiBlackOps]

Triple blue is very strong right now so that does sound like a good combo of perks! 🔥

[@notgabriel8624]

Here’s the funny thing about Bruiser, it doesn’t even work. The healing doesn’t activate at all and the score bonus doesn’t work on the heavy attack for melees. Also, you would think it does so little because of its potential synergy with Enforcer’s speed and healing.. but that doesn’t even activate on melee kills! The red perks are so broken and not in a good way

[@MusmiBlackOps]

Hahaha I had no idea but this is absolutely typical 😂 the only things that could salvage melee don't even work 😂😂

[@notgabriel8624]

@ it drives me nuts because I want to run an enforcer bruiser build so bad but no one’s bringing the issues up. All the big knifers in the community just run a recon build 😭

[@MusmiBlackOps]

@notgabriel8624 yeah that would be so much fun to do! Haha sounds about right, recon is just broken no matter what you're doing 😂

[@daxxad6]

The blur spacialist needs a rework, maybe give tgem a true cold blood like your name tag dissapears and you get extra 5 points for first bullet on unaware enemy. And to counter that speciality would would be foward inteligence perk that way you would know on mini map if its friend or foe, and I belive would be good.

[@TJwags23]

So in your opinion, what is the best 4 perk combo to use? I permanently unlocked perk greed so I’m curious

[@Gini_Martini]

If you want enforcer then ghost assassin double time gung ho. If no enforcer then switch assassin with forward intel

[@MusmiBlackOps]

It depends what your play style is like but I think the best perks for general use would be ghost, forward intel, cold blooded, and flak jacket. If you wanna be aggressive then gung ho, assassin, double time, ghost / flak jacket

[@austinvaneps]

For me I'm rocking Ghost, Forward Intel, Quartermaster (use stims), and flak jacket. I spent my first 2 sets of levels caring a lot about the specialties but they're really not that important in most objective game modes. I play a lot objective modes so having stims constantly available, grenades doing less while I'm on points, and staying off the UAV is huge.

[@zero11010]

I’m on prestige 6. The best combo depends on your play style, your loadout, and the game mode. What I use on free for all is totally different from kill order and also totally different on hard point. These things can change from map to map, too. What works on streakout may not work as well on red card. Things also change between core and hardcore. There’s no “this is the way.” That being said … flak jacket is huge. Can keep you from dying many times in a single game which keeps your score streak building. Ninja is huge in certain game modes. Gearhead is very powerful if you’ve got an effective field upgrade and use it well. It’s 30% time reduction. Each field upgrade has a different cooldown (basically). Scavenger is huge. It can give you 4 or 5 sets of lethals and tacticals in a single life (I’m sure players better than me get even more out of it). You can’t just … pull supplies from an assault pack over and over. But, you can pick up supplies from people REALLY rapidly. If you unlock perk greed getting another level 41+ perk is important to make the most of the wild card. Gearhead worked really well for me.

[@JLchevz]

I enjoyed this video a lot Musmi! I found your series RMG wheel for the camo grind and it has inspired me to start it myself. My mental health has been struggling recently so having your videos as entertainment helps a lot. Do you have a discord at all so I could play with some members of the community?

[@MusmiBlackOps]

Ooh that's great to hear, I'm so glad my videos have been helping you through a rough time! Good luck on your grind 🙂 there's a link to my discord in the description of any video I think, it will be great to have you there 🙂

[@quentincook4104]

Fast hands is good if you’re running smg with low ammo capacity or sniping

[@MusmiBlackOps]

Yeah that's a decent use case for it!

[@JLchevz]

Guardian and Vigilance are really useful sometimesm they're definitely not niche. Guardian is almost essential in hardpoint and domination, and useful too in the HVT mode.

I personally use triple green unless otherwised recommend for camo challenges.

[@thehighlandfox]

I think I've seen a few videos saying Enforcer isn't actually as good as it's described because the healing effect isn't instant like quick fix in previous games, and the movement speed bonus is minimal. I used to be on the tripple blue clutch when the game launched. But lately, I've been on triple greens and have been having a lot of fun, I actually forgot that wallhacks were in the game😂

[@MusmiBlackOps]

Yeah to be fair enforcer doesn't seem that noticeable so it's probably a bit underpowered! Haha triple green is nice for leveling and getting good score streaks going!

[@ryanrhodes3169]

Gung ho only makes you faster while reloading and using equipment, how often do you sprint while reloading? Reload find cover

Assassin goes into all of my classes. The ping starts after 3 kills, its always free information and when you do get the kill the bonus thing stays for a short while. It's like having a UAV only for people that have a good chance at killing you and it basically shows exactly where they go. Beyond strong in my opinion when I started using it. Tracker is unusable to me. Too long between pings and footsteps looking is stupid in a game with this much verticality. Guardian is one of my favorites but it's just useful. All of them do suck so going for challenges are way harder without more of them. Assassin and Guardian would be in the Meh for me I like them when going against sweats or when grinding for more.

[@Texcik]

I don't think assassin makes them show up on the minimap, it just gives those enemies a unique marker when they do for other reasons like UAV or SHooting an unsilenced weapon

[@MusmiBlackOps]

That's how I thought it worked but need to check I think!

[@MusmiBlackOps]

I definitely need to give assassin another go by the looks of it! I'm still not sold on guardian at all though 😂 Thanks for sharing your thoughts on these perks! 🙂

[@zero11010]

@@MusmiBlackOps guardian is situational. Better on some game modes, and much better in core than hardcore (obviously). Even the map can matter. It’s situational. I think that’s interesting in a perk. The right tool for a specific job. If you’re playing kill order and playing defensive with your HVT it’s great to be able to revive them quickly. Very few people run morphine injector to make use of that aspect otherwise. With a built team you COULD work this in. Still feels like a rare benefit. HVT may go down more reliably. Healing faster when defending a zone can be a big deal in some game types. Especially if you combine with enforcer so you increase heal rate while defending AND increase heal rate when taking out attackers. Free stims? Definitely take another look at assassin. It’s more beneficial if your play style can let you get to the target. I’m assuming you’re not doing that much and that this is why you also rated scavenger lower than expected.

[@swiftblaqness]

The reason I hate most of these perks is because they are so situational. Take for example gung ho it improves Sprint and tactical Sprint while reloading, like how often is that a factor? I like perks that do something every time not just like in this slight scenario in which I might see once or twice a game. They all are so stupid, it's like you have to be playing in a super specific and narrow way for the perk to even matter. Which basically makes them pointless to me I want a perk that does something every single gun fight.

[@twistedship2399]

Cold blooded can also be usefull against people constantly throwing smoke grenades then getting easy thermal kills.

[@MusmiBlackOps]

True!

[@JLchevz]

Great list overall. I disagree on Double Time though, I don't really see much use for it other than to get to the other side of the map quickly which might be good in some situations but most times I don't get to the end of the sprint.

[@mrcodmonger]

I agree with both bruiser and assassin but tbh id rather assassin over bruiser because if a person on a higher kill streak is close enough to me to be on my minimal there is the benefit of them being pinged on my minimap so I can know where they are

[@MusmiBlackOps]

To be fair I don't think bruiser is even working properly atm 😂

[@briangosvener651]

[@Jasonwillams66778]

Nah man, care packages are op. The amount of times I’ve got a dreadnought or chopper fun from that shit is crazy

[@yhzh2002]

Cold blooded is definitely worse than vigilance. You can still be seen easily by thermals and the ai targeted stuff is universally terrible and not common. cuav/scrambler are far more common and being able to ignore their effects is just good. I would also put scavenger up a tier or two. It's at least as good as the other T1 red perks imo. It restocks everything, not just ammo, and spamming equipment can be powerful. Fast hands also needs to go up to not great at least. The 100+ ms you save finishing off sniper hitmarkers or in other tight situations can make all the difference. It's one of the few perks in the SnD meta. People often run it in no combat specialty setups.

[@MusmiBlackOps]

Hmmm maybe I'd argue they are about even tbf, ai streaks are pretty terrible 😂 I've not played any search yet but I can believe those quick weapons swaps help in those high pressure situations!

[@OrsoPolareX]

Running all green perks (flak jacket, dispatcher, guardian) with perk greed bankroll and playing hardpoint/domination is super broken. Run uav, cuav and harp with trophy system and actually play the objective and i swear you will never lose a game. And yea im actually the person the plays the objective😂 i like winning!

[@mrcodmonger]

I agree with your logic on engineer but I would have put it in decent tier

[@MusmiBlackOps]

Nice!

[@gabrielnolan8175]

I love this style of content. The only twp perks i disagree on is scavenger and cold blooded. Inever run assault pack as I'm running either a trophy system or whatever mastery badge I'm working on so having scavenger is better especially when using pistol, shotguns and any other really close range weapons. Within just perk one it's not very good (especially with ninja, ghost and flac jacket) but as a perk it has it's place. And cold blooded is decent becuase it makes you hard to see on enemy thermal scopes as well as all ai controlled streaks. Maybe that's just my sweaty lobbies who knows

[@MusmiBlackOps]

Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it! Yeah I guess if you're running close range weapons then the scavenger packs are less risky to get! I don't see too many thermal scopes tbf but cold blooded is definitely good against streaks!

[@Cxllumr]

I don't really understand your opinions on quartermaster and gearhead. You're saying it's not worth using for the worse equipment/ field upgrades when you're going for mastery badges. But yet that itself adds value to the perk and allows you to get the mastery badges more efficiently?

[@noahspencer7012]

Scavenger honestly feels like it is in the wrong tier. If it was a tier-two perk, it would be a much more attractive option. As a tier-one competing with ghost, ninja, and flak jacket its not worth it. Also, something that could be done to buff bruiser is making you immune to the flinch effect you receive when damaged with your melee weapon out. That way using your melee weapon as a movement tool is more consistent and you have an easier time using the other benefits bruiser provides.

[@MusmiBlackOps]

Yeah exactly, scavenger can be good from what everyone is saying but there are still much better perks in the game! Ooh yeah that would be a good buff, the melee flinch seems a bit over the top to me!

[@MusmiBlackOps]

Triple blue is OP af

[@RusHnRelaX]

You should breakdown how gearhead and prepper are useless it doesn't charge both upgrades its all consecutively so without the perk it's the same thing unless you don't use your upgrade then its worth it just cause after 5mins you'll have two field mines but if you have prepper on then you have to wait for a third charge to use the other field upgrade it's not a perk it's just a choice on which you can use first. If you equip both the gearhead perk and prepper after the charge rate is ready you should have the choice to either use 2 of the same one or one of each the games aren't long enough so waiting 5mins to even get a little bit out of a perk is sooo pointless but again so many perks/class set-up options are useless pointless or what use to be one perk is chopped up into 2-3perks. They took fast-paced and went way to far with it it's just a shoot fest there's no skills in this game put on the biggest magazine and hold the trigger as you go around corners and they thought pre fire spots were a problem pppfffff
