Winning in this new mode isn’t just about aiming, as it also depends on how effectively you use perks, equipment, field upgrades, and killstreaks. Here’s a complete look at all the tools available in Warzone Black Ops Royale.

All Perks in Black Ops Royale and their effects
Perks are temporary, consumable boosts in Warzone Black Ops Royale, and can be found as ground loot, in supply boxes, or as rewards. They can be activated whenever you choose. Your main and Inventory HUDs show the perks you’re carrying, those active, and those queued.
You can carry up to five perks at once, and each can be saved for later. Timing is key here, as perk effects have set durations:
- Short – Around 2 minutes
- Medium – Between 2½ to 3½ minutes
- Long – Around 4 minutes
| Perk | Duration | Effects |
|---|---|---|
| Awareness | Short | Increases the volume of enemy footsteps by a modest amount. You also gain the ability to track enemy footprints. |
| Brawler | Long | Gain a small amount of additional health when engaged in melee attacks. Provides bonus to your health if you are fully healed. Strong increase in melee damage. Adds the Tactical Sprint ability. |
| Engineer | Medium | Allows you to see enemy equipment, killstreaks, and vehicles through walls. When you’re a driver or a passenger in a vehicle, it will repair itself over time. |

| Reinforced | Long | Explosive and fire-based damage is reduced by a sizable amount and cannot down you if you’re struck while at full health. You gain resistance to Flashbangs and Stuns, and suffer reduced damage from the Hand Cannon, War Machine, and Death Machine. |
| Skulker | Long | Increases your movement speed by a minor amount. Increases your crouch and prone speed by a modest amount. Increases your swimming speed by an impressive amount. |
