Best Warzone perk packages, ranked

Warzone’s Perk Packages system offers two options: Preset Packages and Custom Packages. The four presets are there to assist you in aligning with your playstyle, but if you’re aiming for the ultimate Warzone perks, the Custom Packages are your playground. We’ll guide you through the best Warzone perk combinations, giving you the power to craft your own strategies.

8. Commander

  • Perk Slot 1: Spotter
  • Perk Slot 2: E.O.D.
  • Perk Slot 3: Survivor
  • Perk Slot 4: Combat Scout

If you thrive in playing support, the Commander will certainly suit your style. It works best for team players, as its Spotter and Combat Scout abilities mark equipment, Killstreaks, and the enemy. Spotter also offers a way to hack into the opposing side’s system, including Claymores, Proximity Mines, C4, and Trophy Systems.

Any time a teammate’s down, you’ll have the Survivor perk to rely on, bringing faster revive speed and reduced health generation delays. And, if the enemy tries to throw out an explosive while you’re reviving, the E.O.D. skill can reduce the damage taken from it. But, since it heavily caters to the support role, the Commander Perk Package doesn’t provide many offensive tactics. So, those who prefer to go guns blazing may want to steer clear of this choice.

7. Resistor

  • Perk Slot 1: Battle Hardened
  • Perk Slot 2: Irradiated
  • Perk Slot 3: Escapist
  • Perk Slot 4: Shrouded

While the Commander focuses on support, the Resistor is all about defense. It may not be the most offensive choice, but it certainly increases your chances of survival in Warzone. The Battle Hardened perk, for instance, makes you immune to various Tacticals, from Snapshot Grenades to Shock Sticks, ensuring your safety in the battlefield.

Even when the going gets tough, you’ll have some advantages when you’re in the poisonous circle or downed. The Irradiated perk, in particular, gives you free rein to perform actions in the circle, including better movement speed and gas damage reduction. If you’re unlucky with being down, the Escapist and Shrouded allow you to throw a Smoke Grenade and increase your overall speed while in this position.

6. Huntsman

  • Perk Slot 1: Irradiated
  • Perk Slot 2: Mountaineer
  • Perk Slot 3: Tracker
  • Perk Slot 4: Ghost

Since Warzone maps are known for their extensive size, you can utilize the Huntsman Preset Package to track your enemies with ease. You’ll be able to follow enemies with the Tracker ability, making them easily recognizable with their footprints and death marks. What’s more, the Perk Package keeps you off the opponent’s radar through the classic Ghost Perk.

Like Resistor, the Huntsman offers the Irradiated skill to improve your movement all-around. The last perk, the Mountaineer, negates fall damage when falling up high. These four perks allow you to become a stealth master, just like a typical hunter.

5. Deputy

  • Perk Slot 1: Double Time
  • Perk Slot 2: Focus
  • Perk Slot 3: Primed
  • Perk Slot 4: Resolute

The Deputy, the final Preset Package, is designed for those who thrive in mobility. With this ability, it’s best to use lightweight weapons, such as Pistols and SMGs. The Double Time perk is a must-have, increasing the Tac Sprint duration and decreasing its refresh time. Deputy’s ADS buffs are the true highlights, enhancing your flinching and accuracy rates when jumping.

In addition to these mobility perks, the Resolute gives you another speed boost whenever you get hit by enemy gunfire. This Preset Package will make it pretty challenging to target you as you move around swiftly.

4. Speed Enthusiast (Custom Package)

  • Perk Slot 1: Double Time
  • Perk Slot 2: Sleight of Hand
  • Perk Slot 3: Quick Fix
  • Perk Slot 4: High Alert

To further the speed aspect, combine the four perks above. Double Time makes an appearance, once again, and it certainly won’t be the last time you see it on this list. You’ll also reload much faster with the Sleight of Hand, giving you extra bullets when you need it most. However, there has been many player feedback where some have noted that it doesn’t reload quicker than the default version. So, if it’s not quite living up to its potential, sub in another Perk of your choosing.

High Alert from this Warzone perk combination is one of my personal favorites. This ability displays vision pulses when you’re in the enemy’s line of sight, reducing the risk of a surprise attack. Health regeneration will be covered, too, any time you kill other players or insert an armor plate with the Quick Fix active.

3. The Last Stand (Custom Package)

  • Perk Slot 1: Mountaineer
  • Perk Slot 2: Irradiated
  • Perk Slot 3: Quick Fix
  • Perk Slot 4: Resolute

While other players are your primary adversaries, the gas circle is a formidable foe in its own right. Its deadly nature necessitates a strategic build for your last stand. The inclusion of Irradiated and Quick Fix, two of the most crucial perks in Warzone, will significantly extend your health within the gas circle, enhancing your chances of survival.

The circle also forces your hand in regards to movement, which is where the Resolute and Mountaineer come into play. Take advantage of these skills to last longer during the ending stages, and you may turn out to be the victor of your Warzone round.

2. The Survivalist (Custom Package)

  • Perk Slot 1: Double Time
  • Perk Slot 2: Mountaineer
  • Perk Slot 3: Tempered
  • Perk Slot 4: Flex

This Custom Package combines survivability with mobility. Considering that you’ll be jumping and sprinting a lot in Warzone’s many maps, Double Time and Mountaineer will make this process much more accessible.

Besides these mobility buffs, Tempered and Flex keep you in the match for longer. Tempered is one of the best Warzone perks you can utilize, replenishing your armor to the fullest with two plates. The final slot, Flex, delays a foe’s explosions when sprinting, resulting in fewer downtimes from Lethals. The skill also has two extra buffs of enemy equipment warnings and reduced combat noise.

1. Well-Balanced build (Custom Package)

  • Perk Slot 1: Mountaineer
  • Perk Slot 2: Double Time
  • Perk Slot 3: Cold-Blooded
  • Perk Slot 4: High Alert

The four perks listed above are considered to be the best Warzone perks, and for good reason. Their robust bonuses make them a staple in most builds. Mountaineer, for example, practically grants you immunity from fall damage. And then there’s High Alert, a perk that almost feels too OP to be in Warzone.

Double Time is a versatile choice, regardless of your play style. Just like the other builds, it continues to improve your running capabilities, a crucial aspect of any Warzone playthrough. Last but not least is Cold-Blooded, a perk that shields you from detection by thermal optics, Tactical Cameras, and Recon Drones. This stealthy ability completes the best Warzone perk combination, offering you flexibility and adaptability throughout the match.
