Call of Duty: Black Ops 6

While running and gunning might be the most popular playstyle In Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, many players will find a stealthy playstyle to be just as good, especially with the right perks. Stealth players have some powerful perks to keep their movements undetected and gain an edge in multiplayer. 

These perks can make a pretty big difference, especially for players who prefer to stay hidden, avoid being tracked, and move quietly across the map. For those looking to stay as stealthy as possible, here are some of the best perks in each of the three categories in the game.

Perk 1 – Ghost and Ninja

When players are using Ghost, they become invisible to UAVs as long as they keep moving around.  This means enemies who rely on scanning the map with a UAV will get no help finding Ghost-equipped players, which keeps stealth players safe from being easily located. 

This perk works well for both stealthy, and run and gun players, but stealth players might find this to be even more important for lasting longer in matches.

Ninja, on the other hand, is perfect for reducing your footsteps and sprinting sounds. This perk lowers the noise players make while walking and running, which makes it way harder for enemies to hear them coming. Stealth players using this perk can get close to opponents without giving away their position. 

Ninja is a game-changer for those who want to surprise their targets or just avoid detection. This one is a top pick for both stealthy and fast-paced players, not just in Black Ops 6 but in pretty much every Call of Duty game.

Perk 2 – Engineer and Tracker

The Engineer perk is great for anyone worried about getting hit by hidden enemy equipment or powerful Scorestreaks. With Engineer equipped, players can see enemy devices through walls, which means they can avoid these surprises like trip mines or grenade traps. 

Engineer also shows the locations of Scorestreaks on the minimap, and this helps players make better choices about where to go or avoid. While this perk is most useful for players who want to hold down an area safely, it also gives valuable intel on where enemies might be hiding out.

And then there’s Tracker, a perk perfect for those who like to hunt down enemy players. Tracker lets players see the footsteps of recent enemies, giving them a path to follow and potentially surprise their targets. 

It’s very good for keeping an eye on fast-moving players or those trying to escape a fight. Plus, Tracker now has a ping feature that automatically marks enemies when you aim down sight, but it has a long cooldown, so it’s best used sparingly.

Perk 3 – Gearhead and Cold-Blooded

Gearhead is a unique perk that speeds up the recharge rate for Field Upgrades, allowing players to use their abilities more frequently. There are plenty of defensive Field Upgrades that you can place down which help you easily take out enemies that are more active. 

Plus, it gives them two charges for Field Upgrades instead of the default one, giving stealth players more opportunities to deploy useful gadgets or hack enemy equipment. This perk even lets players reverse-trap enemy Care Packages, which can lead to some satisfying ambushes when an enemy opens it up only to have a grenade blow up in their face.

Cold-Blooded, meanwhile, is the perfect counter to AI-controlled Scorestreaks, like Drones or Chopper Gunners, that automatically target players. When equipped with Cold-Blooded, players remain undetectable to these types of Scorestreaks and aren’t highlighted by enemy thermal optics.

This perk lets stealth players to stay off the radar entirely, even when dealing with aggressive Scorestreaks which can be pretty annoying at times.

These six perks in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 give you some serious advantages for anyone who likes a more tactical, hidden playstyle. Which of these are your favorites? Let us know in the comments below!
