Advanced Warfare - Perks List
Perks are special abilities that grant you advantages on the battlefield. Some of them are very situational and only useful in certain objective modes, or if your opponents are using certain types of loadouts. Others are more general and simply enhance your performance at all times.
Because perks grant abilities that no attachment, gun, or piece of equipment can, they are often central to any loadout build. Choosing your perks should be one of the first things you do when putting together a new class.
There are 15 perks in AW multiplayer and they are divided into 3 categories. You can choose one from each category, but if you use the "Greed" Wildcards you can equip one additional perk per category for a maximum of 6 perks. There are no pro perks in the game.
Like in Black Ops II, you can also choose not to equip any perks and instead use the extra allocation points on weapon attachments, Exosuit upgrades and Scorestreaks.
Perk 1
Lightweight
Increases your movement speed.
Low Profile
Makes you invisible to the UAV scorestreak and rounds fired from a weapon with the Tracker attachment.
Danger Close
Increases your explosive and killstreak damage.
Overcharged
Extends your Exo Ability battery life. This gives you an upper hand by allowing you to, for example, cloak and hover for a longer time. Overcharged also makes the Boost Slam shock enemies on impact.
Flak Jacket
Reduces explosive damage and also prevents you from slowing down when damaged by explosives. Grenades are also reset when picked up and thrown back.
Perk 2
Peripherals
Increases your radars coverage. In addition, enemies that are killed by you don't display their death icon to the enemy team.
Blind Eye
Makes you undetectable by drones and all killstreaks, except the UAV.
Cold-Blooded
Makes you immune to enemy threat grenades, thermal, target enhancer attachments and call outs. In addition, your name isn't displayed to enemies and their reticle doesn't change color when they aim at you.
Fast Hands
You can swap your weapons faster, and use Exo Abilities and the Exo Launcher faster. This also enables you to reload your weapon while sprinting.
Gung-Ho
Allows you to fire your weapon while sprinting and sliding, but it also reduces your accuracy while doing so.
Perk 3
Toughness
Reduces aim / screen flinching when you get hit.
Scavenger
You spawn with extra magazines and can resupply ammo from dead enemies.
Blast Suppressor
With this equipped, you don't show up on the radar when you use Exo movements, like the Boost Jump.
Black Ops 3 features boost jumps and wall-running similar to Advanced Warfare. Many of the black ops 3 perks and abilities are usable the same way as in COD: AW, for example, you can equip the Blast Suppressor to hide your movements.
Hard Wired
Makes you immune to Stun Grenades, EMP, Nano Swarms, Scramblers and the System Hack scorestreak.
Hardline
Decreases scorestreak cost by 100 points.
