More extended goodies up for grabs from the newest Call of Duty title. Infinity Ward has revealed the list of perks and categories available for the upcoming Call of Duty: Ghosts on its official web site.
There are a total of seven categories of perks with an overall of 35 perks in all throughout the game with new additions made to add to the perks list.
At the start, each player will have eight perk points, which they can use how they see fit. While some perks will cost more than a point, players will have the option to increase their overall points total by removing primary, secondary, tactical, and lethal items.
“Each of the 35 available Perks is weighted with a point value of 1 through 5. Your loadouts naturally have a pool of 8 points to spend on Perks, up to a total of 12 depending on your loadout choices,” the official post states.
“In addition to the initial 8 points, a single Perk point is tied to the Primary Weapon slot, Secondary Weapon slot, Lethal and Tactical. Take away any one of these items for an additional Perk point, allowing a maximum of 12 points to spend. If you’re a Perk fanatic, you’re welcome to forego all weapons and equipment, starting each spawn with only a knife in hand and 12 points worth of Perks. It’s your choice.”
It should also be noted that perks can be unlocked in one of two ways. Each Perk is marked with a level and a Squad Point cost, and once the player reaches the listed level, the Perk will be automatically unlocked.
“If you’d rather unlock a Perk early, you can also choose to spend the listed amount of Squad Points for immediate access. Can’t wait to unlock Blast Shield for your Domination matches? Pay the listed Squad Points ahead of time and it’s yours to use,” the page adds.
