The gist is that Modern Warfare II grants you four Perks in total: two Base, one Bonus, and one Ultimate. You can choose from pre-made Perk packages or create up to five. As for the Bonus and the Ultimate Perk, you’ll earn them every four and eight minutes, respectively. However, you can speed up your timers by killing enemies, getting assists, and completing objectives, among others. For example, you take one second off of your timer every ten points you get. The more enemies that you’ll kill, the faster you’ll activate Bonus and Ultimate Perks. In other Call of Duty news, Activision Blizzard and Infinity Ward finally revealed the release date for Warzone 2. Also, PlayStation owners who pre-order Modern Warfare 2 will get exclusive content. Finally, Modern Warfare 2 will be getting new modes, including a third-person perspective mode, among others.
