We’re used to perks being a multiplayer-only feature in Call of Duty titles, so it may come as a surprise when you realize that you have access to a smorgasbord of them in the Black Ops 6 campaign. Early in the game, you’ll post up in a safehouse and discover that you can purchase three upgrade stations within, each offering you a variety of perks to buy with the money you gather during missions.
While it may seem like these perks are just supplementary at first, it soon becomes clear that the campaign is balanced around them—you’ll absolutely want to be finding all the cash you can while you’re out shooting bad guys (pro tip: keep an eye out for safes). Each time you return to the safehouse, you can head to one of the upgrade stations and spend your hard-earned money on some new perks.
There are a lot of perks to choose from, and they’re all useful in their own ways. However, there are some that are extremely important to snag as early as you can, to improve your ability so survive. Here are the perks we think you should buy first.
