Players can select a single Perk from the Perk 1 slot in Black Ops 6 to ensure that they have the best loadout available to them and maximize their efficiency on the field against enemy teams. With a total of 7 Perks in the Perk 1 slot, players might feel a tad overwhelmed about what to choose, but many of them have their own unique advantages and disadvantages based on everyone’s playstyle.

Whether it’s for a stealthy player, or one who prefers to tank more hits and get in the action, plenty of Perks in the Perk 1 slot for Black Ops 6 will provide them with the necessary advantages that they need to play their way and still come out on top.

7 Scavenger

Get More Ammo When Killing Enemies

• Resupply ammo and Equipment from killed enemies.
• Unlocked at Level 26
• Combat Specialty: Enforcer

Everyone’s been impacted by a lack of ammunition on the field on more than one occasion. It’s hard to be on a high killstreak, just to have it all come crashing down because ammo is nowhere in sight, and there is but a knife left to cause damage. However, Scavenger fixes that by allowing players to resupply from killed enemies.

While it may sound good, other players might actually suffer from Scavenger, as they will be killed quicker than they can reload and see the bonuses from more ammo. Also, players who are low on ammo can simply just pick up the gun of the deceased.

6 Flak Jacket

Reduce Explosive Damage

Flak Jacket is used to reduce explosive and fire damage from enemies, which can come from either an explosive secondary weapon or from a piece of Lethal equipment that may be in the opponent’s arsenal.

However, Flak Jacket isn’t all that great, as not many players are daring enough to run around and rely solely on explosives like Frags and C4, so there are alternatives. Yet, that doesn’t mean players won’t get blown up on occasion.

5 Tac Mask

More Immune to Enemy Flash and Concussion Grenades

• Resistance to enemy flash and concussion grenades and enemy Neuro Gas.
• Unlocked at Level 44
• Combat Specialty: Strategist

While Tactical Equipment may not be lethal, in the right hands, it certainly can be. Those impacted by a concussion grenade or a flash will see themselves vulnerable as an enemy sweeps the room and takes them out before players can even move and react to the death that is currently greeting them.

Yet, with Tac Mask, the effects of these tactical equipment pieces are reduced greatly, allowing players to shrug off these effects so that they can meet their foe head-on, and ensure that they are the ones that fall.

4 Dexterity

Less Weapon Motion When Moving

• Reduced weapon motion while jumping, sliding, and diving. Tale less fall damage.
• Unlocked at Level 20
• Combat Specialty: Enforcer

Weapon motion can be a tad burdensome, especially when players are busy running about the map, hungry for another kill. When in motion, players will have a harder time aiming their weapon and readying it on time for combat when they are sliding, jumping, and diving, therefore, Dexterity comes in.

With Dexterity, players will have an easier time preparing to shoot their weapon in the midst of an action. On top of that, less fall damage is paired with Dexterity, allowing players to run and seek lower ground on multiplayer maps without the risk of breaking a leg or two.

3 Gung-Ho

Improve Sprint and Tactical Sprint Speeds When Reloading

• Improves Sprint and Tactical Sprint speeds while reloading or using Equipment.
• Combat Specialty: Enforcer

For players who like to move fast and agile, this is the Perk for them. With Gung-Ho equipped, players will not have to fear slowed speeds when they are reloading, which can be greatly beneficial for players who are always on the move and looking for the next kill.

Gung-Ho will improve sprint speeds for both the standard sprint and the tactical sprint while they are reloading, and also while they are using equipment, which means that there are more components to how players move than just pressing forward.

2 Ghost

Invisible to Scout Pulse and UAV When Moving

• Undetectable by enemy Scout Pulse and UAV when moving, planting, defusing, or controlling Scorestreaks Undetectable by Prox Alarm.
• Unlocked at Level 17
• Combat Specialty: Recon

Ghost is almost essential against teams that utilize a plethora of Scorestreaks against allies. With Ghost, those who are using Scout Pulse and UAVs will see no benefit to it, as players can counter them out with Ghost, so long as they are: moving, planting, defusing, or controlling Scorestreaks.

With Ghost, players have a better chance to move through the map like the Perk says: as a ghost. It’s great for stealthy players and those who don’t want to be hunted down by a UAV up in the air for an enemy team to utilize and know every position.

1 Ninja

Sneaky and Silent Movement

• Move more quietly.
• Unlocked at Level 35
• Combat Specialty: Recon

Players more attuned to their senses in Black Ops 6 will utilize everything they need to ensure that no one is getting the drop on them. The better the Skill Based Matchmaking, the more likely it is that players will encounter an enemy that is listening for footsteps. Those running about in Black Ops 6 might see this as their undoing unless they equip the Ninja Perk.

With Ninja, their footsteps will be far quieter, as will their sprinting noises, which means that enemy players might not think to turn around at the sound of someone running towards them to use them as a human shield or even just to take them out nice and fast.
