Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Open Beta allows players to explore a variety of features, including the new gameplay, Gunsmith 2.0, weapons, maps, and game modes. Another core mechanic that has received a major upgrade with the new game is the perks. Here are all the perks you can equip in Modern Warfare 2 Open Beta.
All Perks available in Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 Beta
Moving away from the traditional three perk slot system, Modern Warfare 2 does something entirely new with this core mechanic. Players now have three perk divisions: Basic, Bonus, and Ultimate. While you spawn in a match with two selected Basic Perks, your selected Bonus and Ultimate perk are granted to you as you progress through the match. This increases the total perk count in Modern Warfare 2 to four at the end of a game.
