Call of Duty WW2 Guide: Basic Training All Perks Explained

Recommended Videos

The class system in Call of Duty WW2 has changed significantly from previous games in the series.  Upon firing up the competitive multiplayer mode for the first time you’ll need to select one of five Divisions. Each has their own special unlockable perks, but you can also choose a Basic Training perk that offers you additional customization to your playstyle.

The Basic Training perks are unlocked as you progress through the game’s normal XP system and achieve a higher rank.

Basic Training Perks List

  • Espionage – Enemy Scorestreaks and enemies you damage appear on mini-map.
  • Launched – Take Launcher as Secondary, and resupply it from enemies killed without explosives.

  • Rifleman – Take two primary weapons and swap faster.

Some of the Basic Training Perks overlap with existing perks from your Division.  If this is the case, the game will warn you that you are choosing a perk that overlaps with perks from your Division.  Each Basic Training Perk can complement a different type of playstyle whether you like to play run and gun, stealthy, sniper, or heavy.
