Best Perks and Loadouts to Dominate

These perks and equipment options form the foundation for almost every meta loadout. They’re consistent, reliable, and effective across all playstyles.

Equipment

Smokes have long been the top tactical choice, but Season 6 nerfed them so you can now carry only one. This means you’ll need to be more strategic when deploying it for rotations or revives. Alternatives like stun grenades, flashbangs, and concussions have become viable for pushing enemies. For lethal options, impact grenades, frags, knives (great for small maps), and thermites all perform well depending on your mode and map preference.

Perks

  • Survivor: Faster health regeneration, ideal for aggressive players.
  • Bomb Squad: Reduces explosive damage, great against RPGs and explosives.
  • Instincts: Detects nearby traps and mines, saving you from sneaky setups.
  • Gung Ho: Reload while sprinting or tactical sprinting for better mobility.
  • Overkill: Allows carrying two primary weapons for flexibility in all ranges.

Once you’ve locked in these core perks and equipment, you can build around your preferred weapon combinations.
