Infinity Ward has already revealed several significant modifications, and it looks like they’ll also introduce the new Modern Warfare 2 Perks system. Here’s everything we know about the brand-new Modern Warfare 2 Perks system.
Modern Warfare II will offer various innovative features to this Call of Duty franchise. From the brand new mechanics for vehicles, its climbing and swimming options, and more, we’ll also be receiving a variety of improvements to the gunsmith system and Create-a-Class system. The ability to completely personalize your attachments isn’t enough to warrant Infinity Ward, though; it appears that we’ll have the ability to run four benefits without needing Wildcard. What is the new policy on benefits? What are the perks that will be offered in MWII?
New Perk System in Modern Warfare 2
Infinity Ward will be reworking the perk system and plans to make changes to certain elements essential to every CoD. According to reports, you’ll soon be allowed to use four bonuses without the need to use wildcards. What’s the procedure? It appears that you’ll be in a position to pick two bonuses from Slot 1. According to reports, slot one will be the initial perk slot, with more than ten benefits, which sounds insane.
Your playing style adapts the slot one perks that are countered in nature. This allows players to lean toward their most comfortable playing style, which is what is something I’m for.
Gonna repost this leak since I’ve had so many people follow me since I first posted it but MWII will introduce a new perk system. You choose 4 Modern Warfare 2 Perks (2 in 1st column, 1 in 2nd column, & 1 in 3rd column). There’s like 10+ perks in 1st column to choose from that fit your playstyle.

The system will stay the same. One perk from slot two and one perk from the 3. It’s an exciting method Infinity Ward has come up with, and we’ll wait until the beta version is released for a chance to test the new perk system.

Will Pro Perks Return In Modern Warfare II?
According to reports, we’ll see a return to the Pro perk system. However, it might not be available included in Multiplayer.

According to leaker Tom Henderson, pro perks will be returning in MWII. This time, we will not be able to unlock them when playing multiplayer or use them in our Loadouts, and instead, we’ll have to get upgraded versions of these perks. In the leaked leak, Tom Henderson claimed that the perks for pro players would be available in strongholds that were reported to be added in Warzone. Brand new Warzone Map.
However, it appears it will be an option only in DMZ as the third mode that comes with the MW2. The mode will be an extraction base mode similar to Tarkov, in which you are dropped into a location and must take a walk around the area to collect loot. After there are enough enemy deaths or collected enough loot, you’ll have to attempt to remove your character from the field. Some information on this mode is available, so we’re not sure if it is possible to enter using an already-made loadout and get the upgrades for pro players or if we’re required to discover the perks before looting the version for pro players. We’ll be patient and wait for more details about this.
If the rumors are accurate regarding this new system of perks, it’s unlikely that we’ll ever see the pro system for multiplayer. The 10+ perks are available within the initial slot, which means that we’ll have at least 20 perks in total, which mean that having to get a professional version of each of them is just insane. Imagine if they included the bonus for specialists, and you could get all professional versions of all the perks. Now that seems like a total mess.
That’s all we know about the coming perk system and the professional benefits. When more details come out, we’ll keep you updated. While you’re waiting, you may be interested in our other MW2 posts:
