But that doesn’t stop the eager fanbase from finding new ways to dig into the data and mine valuable information about the upcoming game. Reality is a known credible leaker, and he shared a list of perks coming to Modern Warfare 2. The perks include the old perks as well as six new perks. https://twitter.com/r3al1tyuk/status/1545173614470766593 We still don’t know whether the returning perks will work exactly the same as Modern Warfare (2019), but we can assume those to work quite similarly. Although we don’t know what the new perks do, Reality did share the description of some of the returning and new perks. We cannot confirm whether this will be the exact functionality upon release, but the descriptions look promising. The returning perks include the following:

The six new perks coming to Modern Warfare 2 are as follows and don’t have the description for all of them:
Overwatch Overcharge Survivor Extra Tactical Focus Pitcher
Extra Tactical, as the name suggests, allows you to spawn with an extra piece of tactical equipment. Focus increases the time you can hold your breath when aiming down sights. It also reduces sway and increases flinch resistance. We’ve already seen the Focus as a perk attachment for weapons in Modern Wafare (2019) and Vanguard. This time it will be added as a “true” perk as part of your overall loadout setup. Reality’s tweets also included some new field upgrades that we will be getting in Modern Warfare 2:
Radiation Blocker: - Battle Rage: Experimental stimulant that gives you an adrenaline rush. Health regenerates quickly, Tactical Equipment is resisted, and Tactical Sprint is constantly refreshed. Tactical Camera: Remote-controlled camera that marks enemies. Press the Field Upgrade button to throw it, and press it again to activate it. If deactivated, the camera will automark until reactivated or destroyed. Portable Radar: Throw a decide that emites a periodic radar ping for a short time.
We will know the exact functionality of the perks and the field upgrades when the game releases globally for everyone on October 28, 2022.
