Are you just getting into Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 and need some help with Blackout? After Treyarch revealed the first heatmap for the mode, showing the best places to land, we’re moving on to the specifics. We’ve collected the best Blackout perks for you to choose from, depending on your playstyle.
Here’s a collection of the best Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 Blackout perks
- Awareness: Makes enemy footsteps louder. Duration: 120 seconds, uses: 2 – Especially useful if you find it hard to spot enemies when in buildings. You get two charges so save them for the last encounters. Its 2 minutes of use is long enough for your to take out a whole squad. Perfect for tacticians that want to plan their attack instead of charging in guns blazing.
- Consumer: Use time of health and consumable items reduced by 50%. Duration: 300 seconds, uses: 1 – With a variety of different consumable items available in Blackout, you can make this work in any situation. It would be even more powerful if it had two stacks but we can’t be that mad. 300 seconds are enough for you to prepare and initiate the attack.
- Engineer: Reveals nearby equipment and vehicles. Duration: 240 seconds, uses: 2 – No need to say exactly how useful this one is out of all the Blackout perks. When you’re stuck outside the circle and can’t see a vehicle on the horizon, you can spot one easily. The same goes for equipment you might need along the way. You get 2 uses so depend on it to get you out of bad situations.
- Looter: Highlights nearby lootable items and stashes. Duration: 120 seconds, uses: 3 – If you spend a lot of time looting and searching for the best weapons in Blackout, this perk is for you. It also comes with 3 charges so that you can use it in three different areas. Make sure to be quick and efficient when using each charge.
- Mobility: Faster weapon swaps and movement. No damage when falling. Fire weapons and use equipment while sprinting and move faster when reloading. Duration: 300 seconds, uses: 2 – This perk we’ll be using a lot. Not only does it give you increased speed and weapon changes but the nullified fall damage is too useful to put in words. This will be a standard perk for high ranked players further on in the game.
- Outlander: Take less damage and gives faster movement in circle collapse. Duration: 180 seconds, uses: 2 – One more perk for those that want to loot at their own pace. It also comes with two charges so that you can get into the game with minimum damage taken and head straight into action. Perfectly bundled with the Consumer perk to heal after reaching the circle boarder.
So, if you’re a guns blazing kind of player you should get the Mobility and Awareness Blackout perks. If on the other hand you’re mode into survivability and looting, go for the Outlander and Looter ones. Start off by mix and matching perks to find out which ones suit you the best.
