Mountaineer I’ve been using since the games start, most slept on perk by far. There’s not just the reduced fall damage. When you fall, you get slightly stunned. With mountaineer you don’t get stunned, which makes it really useful when getting chased.
Escapist and Shrouded needs to be combined into one perk. You move way too slow when downed so faster movement speed in tandem with a smoke grenade would really get you out of some sticky situations imo
@@Grumpisaurusyea this is common in a lot of games though for sake of variety I guess. Perks etc that help after being downed. It feels quite backwards. Like you should never make your build around being downed because you're literally setting yourself up for failure. Other perks that would help prevent you from getting downed in the first place are far more valuable. In saying that, I doubt they'd just delete them so combining is the best idea.
Was just a suggestion to improve the perk. I don’t use either perks because once I’m downed, I expect to be finished. But we’ve all had games where you get downed and have the ability to self revive and get back in the game and even clutch a win. So some people may be interested if it was a better perk
I’m actually enjoying the game again. The only thing I’m really really hoping they change is the ping system. The ping system in WZ1 was perfect and didn’t need to be changed whatsoever and not only that they ruined it and now I can’t see anything my teammates or I ping. Even live pings are ruined in this game now. They really need to change that and they really need to change the random aim sway and scope sway on the guns making shooting the guns feel so off now. Also think they should put back in the floating loot. Those aspects of the game felt good and the changes just weren’t needed
Like trying to ping a target and it's confirming your teammates ping 100meters off from it? Or ping a spot and it keeps pinging a lootbox you aren't even looking at.
Not forgetting the terrible buy stations, backpacks, horrendous lag (Can’t be fixed unfortunately, this is due to the IW 9.0 Engine, water physics being one of the main culprits), Disgraceful audio (Again this is the IW 9.0 Engine), lifeless guns, the worst UI of all time, etc etc.
@@Phillipmamowfwifharts I love that I’ll live ping an enemy and you hear the noise like you got a live ping but the indicator won’t come up and your teammates won’t get the benefit of the mark. Just another example of them taking elements that worked in the old game, making them worse and then calling it a sequel.
I think Tempered is too valuable to hope you find a vest for it,just plating twice allows you to get back into the fight way faster and escape situations
I think it's the fact that you *can* find one that decreases the value, I find one at least 1 in 3 games which means tempered would be a wasted peek in that situation.
Tempered is an absolute waste, if you are good and getting to endgame you only need 3 plates on reserve, killing people will get you more, tempered can be found on the ground at least 50% of the time its such a waste of a valuable perk slot
Cold Blooded is pretty strong, because everyone and their dog is pretty much using High Alert, which puts some sort of evasive reaction into their muscle memory when spotted, so if you use Cold Blooded to bypass it, you might be picking up a lot of easy kills. But Quick Fix, Tracker and Resupply put up a lot of competition for that Perk 3 slot for sure. Great video JGOD, have a great day!
The issue I have with birdseye is that you cannot tell if the enemies are on a higher or lower floor than yourself, unless I just dont understand what im looking at. Similar to advanced UAVs
Agreed. I always find myself going for the other two vests. It's nice that you can see ghosted players, but the elevation indicator is just too good to pass up
You could argue the Birdseye UAV does scan faster since the ping radius travels a greater distance in the same amount of time, but the number of scans per second doesn't change.
I feel you move really slow when downed, I wish they would add Escapist as a core/default perk (as realisticlly, no one is choosing Escapsit for the Perk 3 slot..)
The payout perk is so helpful in plunder for my fellow players who don't have multiplayer and want to level up guns fast this actually gives you good amount of cash to but stuff for xp pair it with the 10% discount card and you get a good value
I never realized that sleight of hand gives a different bonus to different guns. I would love a breakdown on which guns it affects the most and the least. Maybe for the most popular guns?
Flex is op. I can hear footsteps so clearly. It helps big time when fighting around buildings and cover. I think high alert while it's good, It'll become obsolete as more people like myself start running cold blooded.
The one thing that has me shaky on Birdseye is the lack of an elevation indicator. But that's basically it. Pretty nice to know if someone is above or below you when in a multistory building. I really don't care which way their looking. Edit: Since we have some individuals apparently getting upset and feeling the need to respond with a hint of "You're an idiot", allow me to clarify: Its use in team's can be nice at the same time, I personally prefer to know elevation as that can be important on a multistory building, which is quite plentiful on Urzikstan, especially when playing alone. It is literally my own opinion. Use what you want to use. I don't care. This isn't my preference and I simply state why. Doesn't mean it's an awful perk... They even have a vest that gives it to you, should you find it necessary while wishing to have a different Perk 4 equipped... Not everyone is playing hyper sweaty all the time in teams or solos...
thats why he mentions it working better in a team, if 1 runs Birds for direction and another runs something else, they still get the elevation marker...
I feel ya. I always ignore comms vest because of how annoying is not knowing at which height your enemy is. It makes you doubt about pushing buildings because you only know that they are inside, but can't know if they are above in the roof or below waiting in a corner
I always run sleight of hands, double time, tempured, and high alert. However after playing numerous games I’ve noticed that I get a speed boost when shot at/hit with enemy fired. I don’t know if it’s a bug but was wondering if anyone else noticed this…basically having the resolute perk active without actually choosing it.
You’re def sleeping on resolute; the out okay potential in practice is crazy mixed with double time and quick fix or temp when solo taking on duos or more but 1v1 /solos : double/mount/quick/res (or high alert lol)
Thing is, Resolute won't save you from a snipe to the head unlike High Alert. I would run Resolute because it reminds me of Serpentine, but it's really only a 10% boost to movement.
The game is feeling great the only thing needed now is server improvement these “12 tick servers” lead to some sketchy situations. Weird hit reg and 50/50 coin flip gunfights where whoever gets the connection gets the win. Can be frustrating in a competitive game where things are on the line. This company has made a lot of money and some of that needs to go to infrastructure. That and continue to address audio. It’s alot better now but still enemy footsteps need prioritized. This has potential to be up there as one of the best cods ever! Having a blast so far
It is baffling that their ui has perks running off the screen when they could fit everything vertically or in a grid so easily. I didn’t even know they existed😂
Think youre wrong on the EOD. Semtex grenades are really heavily used and they have a big range. Since Im running EOD I dont have to worry nearly as much about this
Fr I was so confused when he said eod ain’t worth like bro they literally got bomb drones and they buffed the cluster some like using breacher drones too
Yes, @jgod missed this. I tracked footsteps in a duo recently and peeked out the door to start engaging close range and dude was 30m away when I pinged! 30 meters for footsteps! Suuuper OP.
MOST of the time IF an enemy is near you AND they use a UAV, they won’t have their custom load out AND have Birdseye equipped, so you might as well use Ghost.
Niche perk set, but if you run irriated, double time, any 3rd perk (i choose resuppy for reasons im soon to mention), and then resolute. Then run stems and the combat knife. Stems have a new movement speed boost. With these combined, upon being hit and stemming or runing in gas and steming or both. You have a increase movement speed that is nearly a 30-40% speed increase. Very very fun build.
Yeah man irritated is a useful perk I won a game yesterday because when I ran out of my gas mask and self revived I was able out last my opponent in the gas . I’m have try out your set up with double time and stims.
Would have loved to see the vests included in this video, great information regardless! I've heard that the stealth vest ignores birdseye and was wondering if the comms vest marks ghosted players since it gives you the directional information as well and what the interaction of stealth vest vs comms vest is.
In the first Warzone patch notes it states that the vests literally give you the associated perk with it. So the stealth vest is just ghost. You will be seen. He even states it in the video that nothing in the game counters birdseye
Ghost vest will counter normal and advanced uav, Birdseye and comms vest. You don't need to stack it with the Ghost perk for these benefits to work. The only way you can appear in the radar is either by shooting your gun, or the scanner event in ashika and vondel.
I have found birdseye to be extremely useful in in more situations than just using UAVs. When an enemy shoots unsuppressed weapons, it shows their direction which is really useful for seeing what direction they are actively shooting. Also, when using the portable radar, which I come across very often. Do we know if birdseye allows you to see ghosted players on the heartbeat sensor?
Hearthbeat sensor is not tied to ghost, its tied to cold blooded. If ur ghosted, ur still visible on heartbeat sensor, and if u took cold blooded, you are not visible on it, but you are on uav.
Primed would be cool for a #1 or #2 perk, I was wondering about it only because I don't run back pads on controller atm, and I'm just in a habit of jumping rather then dropping. I don't think I could sacrifice cold blooded.
I'm always waiting to hear them, but now that you mentioned it, I don't hear them ever. I'll usually prepare for random encounters when I do, but that definitely explains some of these people being fixed on my position.
You say there's no counter for Birdseye, but a Counter UAV blocks and/or disrupts it. Granted, the disrupted area shows up on the map, but it still counters Birdseye. Thanks for the breakdown on all the perks.
I love Shrapnel. This is one of those perks that works better in a team comp. I run an RPG in one of my loadouts, and when I clip someone with it, it makes shots easier for the squad. The bonus to explosive damage can be seen. RPG into a building and nades to follow up is more effective than one might think. I think it's good as long as you got the right squad. Many of the lethals feel better too. That 'Almost' factor gets better.
Keep in mind that high alert triggers in some parts of different maps when the enemy is seeing you through a wall that can be wallbanged. High alert in its current bugged state is OP.
Cold blooded in terms of countering high alert is useless unless everyone on the team uses it. You might not trigger high alert but you teammate will look at the enemy and render your cold blooded useless
I think tempered is a must have, you use less plate you save time and your plate heals you for more health so if you only have enough time to put one plate on that plate is giving you more of a chance to survive.. I rarely find a tempered vest maybe 1 a game and normally my teammates want it becuz they don't have it on.. so I run tempered and always pick up the cct vest which is almost like having birds eye. Even the medic vest is nice. You can self res faster and get your teammates up super fast. I just feel like tempered with playing a fast playstyle is a must have
With resolute when I’m solo trio or duo there’s many engagements where I would have otherwise died without resolute. Since I’m a more aggressive player I lean towards it. I hope they buff stalker I love the idea of the perk it’s unfortunate it’s not very good.
I like to flank and maneuver a lot particularly when the zone is small by going through the gas. Irradiated fulfills that role of mine and there'd be games where my team and i would have gotten top 10 without it but with it on, we would get more top 5s and even top 2s. Will get a win soon if i can get my team to run the perk as well or play better lol. Love the speed boost and the ever so slightly reduce gas damage. With a gas mask or even a durable, it is godly in some people's hand, including mine.
Weird and completely unrelated but I haven’t been in this channel since the 2019/2021 WZ during the pandemic. Idk why but it feels so good hearing JGOD tips all over again ❤
Sleight of hand is a lazy perk on Activision’s part. In Warzone, we’re warfighters right? The deadliest soldiers. And with sleight of hand on - the perk that should make you amazing at that thing - we aren’t able to do Keena Reeves’ John Wick reload. Activating perks shouldn’t just cut frames out. It should totally change the animation. It’d make perks so much more interesting.
I get why people dont want to sacrifice movement but the swarm with 100 mag is absolutely insane. Not having to reload makes you not break your flow while downing several enemies, can wipe teams easily.
Tempered are better when you can get a better effect from Stims, Having to put on one less plate in the heat of combat is bigger than you think. This perk is a must for solo players.
I've seen a lot of people running Cold Blooded in MP to counter the thermal scopes. It seems like a viable counter for H.A in Warzone for sure, I'll definitely try this one out.
I try to run it in mp but for a long time it didnt work with the engineer vest until recently. Now it works, but before it would overwrite and glitch out your entire class.
For my rat class, i like Focus for sniping like a rat, double time for running away when im sniffed out, cold blooded so they cant tell they're getting ratted on, and high alert so i can tell when im getting ratted on. Stay ratty, friends 👍🏼
JGOD this video was really helpful. I know you're kind of throwing EOD under the bus, but you can SURVIVE a semtex and thermite being DIRECTLY STUCK on you with EOD equipped. That would be an insta-down without EOD. It's saved my life countless times!
I think resolute is bugged I'll shoot someone get them one shot and then 3-5 of these resolute markers pop up. It's like they have extra health from this perk. To recap you break plates then get 3 hit markers of no plates meaning one shot left then another 3-5 hit markers of the resolute perk.
Can you do another review of these perks? It seems like some are broken or changed. Primed shows hipfire reticles moving when jumping still, stalker doesn't appear to be faster at all etc etc
@@JGOD oh good to know its not placebo! Do you think its worth it though the trade of for highlight? I like that the perk system is now hard to decide which is better.
For some yeah it makes it varied, but I think they need to do another pass over to really make it hard to choose. Some are just not good enough or in the wrong category.
Hey won my first solo on the new map and using jgods perks . Make sense to use the mountaineer. The second player had to parachute down. I didn't have too 👍👍👍
Of course with MWIII you also get the equipment slots which contain similar actions so you need to look at your perks with the other equipment to optimise. No need having faster reload via both (unless they are stackable but wouldn't have thought so).
i have stopped using ghost because you can just find it as a vest and it is very likely you find one if you do a scavenger contract for example. so i have birdseye in my loadout and get ghost with the vest. you can do it the other way around as well of course.
You are literally a god 🙏🏼 I was tempting to try out the Mountaineer, def gonna do it now. Would love to run Cold Blooded but I love Quick Fix too much 😅
It's more for resetting fights. You get broken, you plate, and the enemy pushes. With quick fix you are full health, without quick fix you are full plates but your health is still regenerating so you essentially only have the 150hp instead of the 300hp you would have with quick fix. They would expect you to be hurt so when you chall them at full hp you will probably win that fight
Quite a good bit of info in this, had no idea Slight of Hand didn't give a flat benefit and only really gives meaningful benefits to slow reload gun types like LMGs and Snipers. Will definitely try out other perks like mountaineer to have more options to finess in tall buildings and Vondel rather than defaulting to Slight of Hand
Why isn't anyone talking about the bug where if you are putting on plates while going down and you have self revive you get stuck in an endless loop of putting on plates but can't use your selfie ?
The flex perk should be a default perk, at least the reduction of combat noices. It makes it a lot easier to hear footsteps in certain situations, and footsteps should always be loud unless wearing those silent boots. It doesn't make sense that people can sprint and slide cancels on a floor below you, mantle metal things on the side of the building, mantle the floor you are on, and then shoot you in the back because there's no audio.
I have to check and see if you made a Perk tier list on Twitter yet, but if not that would be cool. I know that you mentioned their rankings for a few.
Escapist should do the same as apex and give you a shield to avoid the thirst. A small deployable from your forearm and not a door sized riot shield. Only because it's in a slot with so many better perks
I personally run eradicator as the movement speed in the gas is extremely useful and noticeable. I’ve been able to hit buys in the gad without a mask so easily and make it back with barely any damage taken. Also if you play it right, you can do big flanks in gas with it
I'm hoping everyone starts using Cold Blooded. I'm so sick of high alert. Such a crutch perk. There's a reason it was never included in competitive cod. Every pubstomping/ PR video you find with wz3 will have high alert being used.
Thanks for the video and the work you put in especially diving deep into the perks❤️ Here's a thought would you test out making an ads and movement speed smg with double time and stalker with resolute? I know theirs a billion attachments but I'm sure there is some broken things that we've yet to find.
I run dbl time SOH tempered (cause I can never seem to find a tempered vest) and High Alert. I hate birdseye. I'd rather know if they are above or below me rather than what direction they're headed
Feel like shrouded could be a great perk... Imagine if everyone is running this on your squad and you always get smoke cover to revive teammates. Could help carry your team to victory more often than not. Could also be great for solos when you get sniped. Gives you time to self revive. This way you dont need to run smokes anymore and can start running stuns, or stims since the health regen timer is so long now.
Back in mw2 wz I ran cold blooded every time. Great for executions. U can run right up on someone. Usually they'd be surprised cuz i don't think pepl run that one. But it's definitely great for solos.
Mountaineer I’ve been using since the games start, most slept on perk by far. There’s not just the reduced fall damage. When you fall, you get slightly stunned. With mountaineer you don’t get stunned, which makes it really useful when getting chased.
Oh didn't know that I think I will try it now

@@thomasc6127but not in the normal distance at which you would get stunned. 13m I believe
Imagine; Mountaineer in Rebirth Island (if it returns).
@@dinges8561 When* it returns. Pretty sure it was confirmed early 2024
Escapist and Shrouded needs to be combined into one perk. You move way too slow when downed so faster movement speed in tandem with a smoke grenade would really get you out of some sticky situations imo
It would still be a bad perk. A perk that only activates when you get downed is a waste of a slot
@@GrumpisaurusAgreed, anything that requires you to basically get killed first is pointless.

I want more reloads that’s as fast as an operator with a sense of urgency. Like the EBR from MW19 or the FAMAS from MW19.
Despite the nerf to Ghost, I still love to pair it with Cold Blooded and remain relatively stealthy. It makes it easier to push teams.
MOST of the time IF an enemy is near you AND they use a UAV, they won’t have their custom load out AND have Birdseye equipped, so you might as well use Ghost.
Niche perk set, but if you run irriated, double time, any 3rd perk (i choose resuppy for reasons im soon to mention), and then resolute. Then run stems and the combat knife. Stems have a new movement speed boost. With these combined, upon being hit and stemming or runing in gas and steming or both. You have a increase movement speed that is nearly a 30-40% speed increase. Very very fun build.
Yeah man irritated is a useful perk I won a game yesterday because when I ran out of my gas mask and self revived I was able out last my opponent in the gas . I’m have try out your set up with double time and stims.
Mountaineer on Rebirth.....you can take the zips and land on higher elevations when rotating zones, don't have to pull your parachute in most cases.
Would have loved to see the vests included in this video, great information regardless! I've heard that the stealth vest ignores birdseye and was wondering if the comms vest marks ghosted players since it gives you the directional information as well and what the interaction of stealth vest vs comms vest is.
In the first Warzone patch notes it states that the vests literally give you the associated perk with it. So the stealth vest is just ghost. You will be seen. He even states it in the video that nothing in the game counters birdseye
I was told that double stacking ghost with a stealth vest will counter birds eye
@@tophmalone1324 ghost perk+ghost vest= full ghosted. Birdseye cant track it
Ghost vest will counter normal and advanced uav, Birdseye and comms vest. You don't need to stack it with the Ghost perk for these benefits to work. The only way you can appear in the radar is either by shooting your gun, or the scanner event in ashika and vondel.
Sleight of hand is particularly useful in the current meta where light machine guns are dominant
I have found birdseye to be extremely useful in in more situations than just using UAVs. When an enemy shoots unsuppressed weapons, it shows their direction which is really useful for seeing what direction they are actively shooting. Also, when using the portable radar, which I come across very often.
Do we know if birdseye allows you to see ghosted players on the heartbeat sensor?
Hearthbeat sensor is not tied to ghost, its tied to cold blooded. If ur ghosted, ur still visible on heartbeat sensor, and if u took cold blooded, you are not visible on it, but you are on uav.
@@dukisa8791 the description of ghost says you are off heartbeat sensor....
@@dukisa8791it is tied to ghost not cold blooded, always has been
I don’t find it useful at all? You can’t tell if someone is above you or below you like regular uav. Huge disadvantage if you ask me.
I love cold blooded , everyone runs high alert and it’s nice to look at someone without them knowing
You should mentioned Flex perk is muting all the environmental audio in the game, which is good for hearing footsteps
been wondering this for a minute is it worth ditching high alert considering i use that for when i can’t hear a thing
@@blackbartsimps0n560honestly, yeah
Primed would be cool for a #1 or #2 perk, I was wondering about it only because I don't run back pads on controller atm, and I'm just in a habit of jumping rather then dropping. I don't think I could sacrifice cold blooded.
Jgod can you be the one to bring up that there isn’t any enemy uav notifications since launch? Thanks!
I'm always waiting to hear them, but now that you mentioned it, I don't hear them ever. I'll usually prepare for random encounters when I do, but that definitely explains some of these people being fixed on my position.
You say there's no counter for Birdseye, but a Counter UAV blocks and/or disrupts it. Granted, the disrupted area shows up on the map, but it still counters Birdseye.
Thanks for the breakdown on all the perks.
Great info! Thank you, J! I was just blindly using SoH, but now will do some testing before, to make sure it’s actually effective
I love Shrapnel. This is one of those perks that works better in a team comp. I run an RPG in one of my loadouts, and when I clip someone with it, it makes shots easier for the squad. The bonus to explosive damage can be seen. RPG into a building and nades to follow up is more effective than one might think. I think it's good as long as you got the right squad. Many of the lethals feel better too. That 'Almost' factor gets better.
Keep in mind that high alert triggers in some parts of different maps when the enemy is seeing you through a wall that can be wallbanged. High alert in its current bugged state is OP.
I thought high alert only triggered when someone manually pings you. You just need to be in the FOV of someone and it will go off?
Cold blooded in terms of countering high alert is useless unless everyone on the team uses it. You might not trigger high alert but you teammate will look at the enemy and render your cold blooded useless
true, I run cold blooded in solos.
@jgod Quick fix is 100% bugged. Sometimes works and sometimes doesn’t
They should really move the resolute perk to a different slot, its good but not as useful as high alert or ghost.
I think tempered is a must have, you use less plate you save time and your plate heals you for more health so if you only have enough time to put one plate on that plate is giving you more of a chance to survive.. I rarely find a tempered vest maybe 1 a game and normally my teammates want it becuz they don't have it on.. so I run tempered and always pick up the cct vest which is almost like having birds eye. Even the medic vest is nice. You can self res faster and get your teammates up super fast. I just feel like tempered with playing a fast playstyle is a must have
Flex is actually really good I mean high alert is goated to but being able to hear audio is critical
With resolute when I’m solo trio or duo there’s many engagements where I would have otherwise died without resolute. Since I’m a more aggressive player I lean towards it. I hope they buff stalker I love the idea of the perk it’s unfortunate it’s not very good.
I agreebro it's the best perk in that slot
I like to flank and maneuver a lot particularly when the zone is small by going through the gas. Irradiated fulfills that role of mine and there'd be games where my team and i would have gotten top 10 without it but with it on, we would get more top 5s and even top 2s. Will get a win soon if i can get my team to run the perk as well or play better lol. Love the speed boost and the ever so slightly reduce gas damage. With a gas mask or even a durable, it is godly in some people's hand, including mine.
Weird and completely unrelated but I haven’t been in this channel since the 2019/2021 WZ during the pandemic. Idk why but it feels so good hearing JGOD tips all over again ❤
Sleight of hand is a lazy perk on Activision’s part. In Warzone, we’re warfighters right? The deadliest soldiers. And with sleight of hand on - the perk that should make you amazing at that thing - we aren’t able to do Keena Reeves’ John Wick reload. Activating perks shouldn’t just cut frames out. It should totally change the animation. It’d make perks so much more interesting.
I get why people dont want to sacrifice movement but the swarm with 100 mag is absolutely insane. Not having to reload makes you not break your flow while downing several enemies, can wipe teams easily.
Lols jgod giggling with Escapist perk 😂😂😂 7:50
Mountainier and tempered are a really good combo being able to escape by jumping of a building to plate up is really handy
Tempered are better when you can get a better effect from Stims, Having to put on one less plate in the heat of combat is bigger than you think. This perk is a must for solo players.
I've seen a lot of people running Cold Blooded in MP to counter the thermal scopes.
It seems like a viable counter for H.A in Warzone for sure, I'll definitely try this one out.
I try to run it in mp but for a long time it didnt work with the engineer vest until recently. Now it works, but before it would overwrite and glitch out your entire class.
For my rat class, i like Focus for sniping like a rat, double time for running away when im sniffed out, cold blooded so they cant tell they're getting ratted on, and high alert so i can tell when im getting ratted on. Stay ratty, friends 👍🏼
JGOD this video was really helpful. I know you're kind of throwing EOD under the bus, but you can SURVIVE a semtex and thermite being DIRECTLY STUCK on you with EOD equipped. That would be an insta-down without EOD. It's saved my life countless times!
Why are you getting stuck so much? lol
Probably repeaking the same angle a bunch so they toss a semtex and it sticks him on his next peak
@@harmzyz0682 it's happened like 4 times out of the 100's of games I've played yall needa chill
Sleight of hand needs an overall buff
I think resolute is bugged I'll shoot someone get them one shot and then 3-5 of these resolute markers pop up. It's like they have extra health from this perk. To recap you break plates then get 3 hit markers of no plates meaning one shot left then another 3-5 hit markers of the resolute perk.
Can you do another review of these perks? It seems like some are broken or changed. Primed shows hipfire reticles moving when jumping still, stalker doesn't appear to be faster at all etc etc
resupply is massively slept on. Getting unlimited smokes and sems is a huge advantage, especially late game.
Do stems give you a speed boost still?
Do you just cycle between the two to have at least one of each in inventory?
Shrouded is pretty useful in solo IMHO, when there is no-one to save you. It saved my life a few times when sniped from the distance.
I use the Shrapnel perk. Does it apply to proximity mines and or grenades, semtex etc.?
Jgod seems to skim over the Flex perk but has anyone else been testing the audio of "Reduces combat noise"? I don't know if it is placebo or not
It does
@@JGOD oh good to know its not placebo! Do you think its worth it though the trade of for highlight? I like that the perk system is now hard to decide which is better.
For some yeah it makes it varied, but I think they need to do another pass over to really make it hard to choose. Some are just not good enough or in the wrong category.
Hey won my first solo on the new map and using jgods perks . Make sense to use the mountaineer. The second player had to parachute down. I didn't have too 👍👍👍
Thats awesome
To me the value in irradiated is being able to plate in the gas which, if you are fighting your way out of the gas, is huge.
Def just gonna start using mountaineer, sleight of hand and cold blooded especially for resurgence almost everyone I run into has high alert
Of course with MWIII you also get the equipment slots which contain similar actions so you need to look at your perks with the other equipment to optimise. No need having faster reload via both (unless they are stackable but wouldn't have thought so).
Yo, you might be totally wrong about Irradiated... That Perk is VERY good Final Circles for movement and rotation in and out the storm
ive used shrouded, and ive been able to self revive a couple times in solos. thanks for explaining the perks though!
Literally changed my whole gameplay, mountaineer is a mega perk and quick fix is awesome when you taking on multiple people,
I use scavenger personally for the extra cash, extra cash is very helpful for getting those uavs.
Try the broadside with the sharpnel perk and explosive rounds. :)
I swear the medic vest disables quickfix. Am I crazy or is that something happening to everyone?
i have stopped using ghost because you can just find it as a vest and it is very likely you find one if you do a scavenger contract for example. so i have birdseye in my loadout and get ghost with the vest. you can do it the other way around as well of course.
Which vest is ghost if u don't mind me asking
@@hadhutch88 the stealth vest has the same effect like the ghost perk
@BegbieMusic Sweet thank you !!
Ghost is useless these days bro
You are literally a god 🙏🏼 I was tempting to try out the Mountaineer, def gonna do it now. Would love to run Cold Blooded but I love Quick Fix too much 😅
Is Quick Fix really that good? I dont feel like the regual health without plates is that important, is it?
No because when you get shot your plates break before your health is affected. I don’t see a purpose in it in my opinion
It's more for resetting fights. You get broken, you plate, and the enemy pushes. With quick fix you are full health, without quick fix you are full plates but your health is still regenerating so you essentially only have the 150hp instead of the 300hp you would have with quick fix. They would expect you to be hurt so when you chall them at full hp you will probably win that fight
Quite a good bit of info in this, had no idea Slight of Hand didn't give a flat benefit and only really gives meaningful benefits to slow reload gun types like LMGs and Snipers. Will definitely try out other perks like mountaineer to have more options to finess in tall buildings and Vondel rather than defaulting to Slight of Hand
Why isn't anyone talking about the bug where if you are putting on plates while going down and you have self revive you get stuck in an endless loop of putting on plates but can't use your selfie ?
does survivor stack with the vest?
The flex perk should be a default perk, at least the reduction of combat noices. It makes it a lot easier to hear footsteps in certain situations, and footsteps should always be loud unless wearing those silent boots. It doesn't make sense that people can sprint and slide cancels on a floor below you, mantle metal things on the side of the building, mantle the floor you are on, and then shoot you in the back because there's no audio.
if you depend on audio youre just bad
@@matthewloscar2893 in a BR game? More likely im just not walling
I was telling my friends that Ghost was useless because of birdeye. Especially in quads.
Every good team should have at least 1 person running it.
I have to check and see if you made a Perk tier list on Twitter yet, but if not that would be cool. I know that you mentioned their rankings for a few.
So I stumbled onto this video, tried the perk package recommended and got a solo win. This dude knows what he's talking about!
Escapist should do the same as apex and give you a shield to avoid the thirst. A small deployable from your forearm and not a door sized riot shield. Only because it's in a slot with so many better perks
I personally run eradicator as the movement speed in the gas is extremely useful and noticeable. I’ve been able to hit buys in the gad without a mask so easily and make it back with barely any damage taken. Also if you play it right, you can do big flanks in gas with it
can only be in the gas for 2 ticks longer
Yes but your movement speed is increased
@@QuesoSlime yeah but your movement speed is drastically increased. You can cover double the distance very easily with this perk.
Combat scout sucks in this game
I'm hoping everyone starts using Cold Blooded. I'm so sick of high alert. Such a crutch perk. There's a reason it was never included in competitive cod. Every pubstomping/ PR video you find with wz3 will have high alert being used.
Does high alert only trigger when you get aimed at? Or whenever enemy sees you?
Reduced flinch isn't being valued properly, guess ppl forgot how big of a deal that actually is. This perk WILL help you win more gun fights
Thanks for the video and the work you put in especially diving deep into the perks❤️
Here's a thought would you test out making an ads and movement speed smg with double time and stalker with resolute? I know theirs a billion attachments but I'm sure there is some broken things that we've yet to find.
Love the video you legend!
Great vid, I’d love something similar for tacticals/lethals. I’ve had a feeling since update that stuns might’ve been nerfed.
I run dbl time SOH tempered (cause I can never seem to find a tempered vest) and High Alert. I hate birdseye. I'd rather know if they are above or below me rather than what direction they're headed
Same
Feel like shrouded could be a great perk... Imagine if everyone is running this on your squad and you always get smoke cover to revive teammates. Could help carry your team to victory more often than not. Could also be great for solos when you get sniped. Gives you time to self revive. This way you dont need to run smokes anymore and can start running stuns, or stims since the health regen timer is so long now.
Personally:
Sleight of hand
E.O.D - (helps massively with grenade damage or so it seems)
Tracker - helpful in so many situations
High alert
Back in mw2 wz I ran cold blooded every time. Great for executions. U can run right up on someone. Usually they'd be surprised cuz i don't think pepl run that one. But it's definitely great for solos.
