For months after launch, Perks in Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0 were been broken. Even after securing your loadout, certain Perks would fail to activate, resulting in an entirely useless mechanic overall. Likewise, you weren’t actually able to customize which Perks were associated with a loadout, and instead, had to utilize Perk Packages. These had preset Perks tied to each, offering very little in the way of customization.
Thankfully, Activision finally issued a patch to fix Perks and Perk Packages, allowing players to make better use of these bonus abilities.
Now that Perks work properly in Warzone 2.0, you should be aware of the best options to maximize your performance and hopefully get more wins. These are the best Perks in Warzone 2.0.
First, let’s go over all the Warzone 2.0 Perks. Keep in mind, you can now customize which Perks you’d like to activate from each category. With the exception of the Base Perks, you cannot use more than one Perk from a particular category at any given time.
Ah, yes, Overkill: the quintessential Call of Duty Perk. Considering battle royale mode throws you into close, mid, and long-range encounters, having weapons for all types of situations will serve you well. That’s why Overkill is so effective, allowing you to come equipped with two primaries.
Double Time is useful because you don’t need to do much to make use of its effects. Since it doubles your tac sprint duration and increases your crouch speed by 70%, it comes in handy nearly every time you move around the map. Being able to tac sprint for longer can truly get you out of a bind, so Double Time is a top choice from the Base Perk category.
Sometimes, coming to a fight with a piece of equipment can be a difference-maker. With Resupply, you recharge your equipment over the course of 30 seconds, meaning you can continuously replenish your Stuns, Claymores, or other useful items if your timing is right.
Much like Double Time, Fast Hands triggers without you having to do much. This Perk allows you to reload, use equipment, and weapon swap faster, which is almost always useful. Being able to reload faster, specifically, is oftentimes enough to reset a gunfight.
While UAVs aren’t as prominent in Warzone 2.0 as they were in the original game, they still come into play frequently. Because of that, Ghost is still great in this game, as it disallows you from showing up on enemy UAVs, Portable Radars, and Heartbeat Sensors. A lot of times, even if you’re a skilled player, it’s easy for someone else to get the drop on you if they know your location, so Ghost will keep you safe.
If you’re an expert player who can react very quickly, High Alert might be for you. This Perk causes your screen to pulse in the direction of any enemy who looks at you, which basically can prevent you from being taken out from behind. This Perk is best for players who like to move around a lot, as it can keep you on your toes.
Acer’s Predator Atlas 8 finally has a US release date and price, several months after the company first showed off the handheld in May. The highlight is the Intel Arc G3 Extreme chip inside, which has been adopted by only a couple of other consoles besides the Atlas 8. This version will go on sale exclusively at Best Buy on November 1 for $1,299.99.
Acer originally said the Atlas 8 would arrive in North America in October, but left pricing open at the time. The launch came amid the ongoing DRAM crunch, which has made memory more expensive across the PC industry and complicated pricing for hardware makers.
Gaming laptops and I have a complicated relationship. One of my first gaming rigs was an Acer Predator that was already outdated when I bought it. I was a broke college kid, and that was the best I could afford. So trying out high-end gaming laptops is always fun. But ASUS' ROG Zephyrus G14 is a lot more than a laptop that can run AAA games. It is portable, so you're not lugging around a 2.5kg machine everywhere you go. It is built well, none of that plastic chassis, and can even function as a normal laptop outside of just gaming.
Google Play is borrowing one of the Nintendo Switch’s most useful little tricks. A new Sidekick tool called Playbacks captures a short clip after something interesting has already happened, sparing players from running a screen recorder throughout an entire game.
Playbacks is part of Google Play Store v53.8 and keeps saved clips on the phone. Google first announced it earlier this month, but the new Play Store update marks its arrival for players. Anyone who has watched a perfect win vanish because the record button came too late already understands the appeal.
