Warzone has 18 Perks when MW4 Season 1 arrives on November 6, 2026. Fifteen are loadout Perks, and you pick one from each of three categories. The other three are new Elite Perks, Athleticism, Phantom and Fieldcraft, which you can only find during a match at Buy Stations or from Supply Run Contracts, and you can hold one at a time.
The full list comes from Activision’s Warzone Season 1 overview of November 2. Season 1 also resets Player Level across Multiplayer, DMZ and Warzone, and our MW4 boosting page covers leveling if you want your loadouts back quickly.
When the new Warzone Perks go live
Activision says Warzone Season 1 goes live at 0000 ET on November 6 (2100 PT on November 5) on all platforms. By our conversion, that is 05:00 UTC on November 6. The Perk list below applies from that point.
All 15 Warzone loadout Perks
Each loadout takes one Perk from each category. These are Activision’s descriptions in short form:
| Category | Perk | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Perk 1 | Field Medic | Revive allies to full health quickly and get the same benefit; more health while downed |
| Perk 1 | Hunter | See enemy footprints, sense nearby enemies, get alerted when aimed at; enemies you shoot are outlined for a time |
| Perk 1 | Stocked | Extra Lethal and Tactical with a visible trajectory; more explosive damage from equipment and launchers; full ammo reserves when you grab a loadout |
| Perk 1 | Incognito | Shorter reveal on radar and from Hunter; you can only be danger pinged; you delay triggered traps |
| Perk 1 | Surveyor | On kill, briefly reveal the nearby squad and highlight enemies in last stand; enemies show on radar when they use a Buy Station or Contract |
| Perk 2 | Mountaineer | Less fall damage, avoids landing stun, faster climbing; combat roll to cut fall damage further |
| Perk 2 | Adaptive | Faster sprint to fire with full plates, faster movement when missing plates |
| Perk 2 | Scavenger | Enemies you kill drop ammo, equipment, plates and cash for your squad |
| Perk 2 | Drill Instructor | Faster squad sprint speed (does not stack); long sprints start health regen |
| Perk 2 | Deft Hands | Faster plating, equipment use and crate capture; a burst of speed when you plate |
| Perk 3 | Berserker | On kill, briefly faster ADS, weapon swap and reload |
| Perk 3 | Quick Fix | Kills or plating start health regen immediately |
| Perk 3 | Survivor | Faster health regen; resists Flash, Concussion and Shock; less non-killstreak explosive damage; no knockdown |
| Perk 3 | Tempered | Refill armor with two plates instead of three |
| Perk 3 | Wingman | Cheaper buybacks for allies; your redeploys do not fire a flare for enemies |

Multiplayer uses a different perk setup. For that list, see our MW4 Multiplayer perks guide.
Elite Perks: Athleticism, Phantom and Fieldcraft
Elite Perks add a fourth Perk slot. Activision says they are only found during a match: at Buy Stations, with more from Supply Run Contracts. You can equip only one Elite Perk at a time.
- Athleticism: more agile when strafing, crouching and aiming down sights, with smaller ADS penalties for jumping and sliding.
- Phantom: undetectable by enemy recon killstreaks, equipment and Perks.
- Fieldcraft: rapidly regenerates armor and equipment for sustained fights.
Activision has not published Buy Station prices for Elite Perks or how often they appear. The new Perk Supply Box field upgrade is a separate item: it gives you and your team a random perk, and Activision does not say whether that can be an Elite Perk.
Weapon Augments: the other in-match upgrade
Season 1 adds a second way to power up during a match. After drones fly across the map, they drop portable “Fly Buy” Buy Stations. These sell Weapon Augments, which give your weapon big bonuses for the rest of that match. Activision says they come in limited quantities.
| Augment | Bonuses |
|---|---|
| CQC | Faster ADS and sprint to fire, less hipfire recoil, faster ADS movement |
| Marksman | Higher bullet velocity and damage range, less horizontal recoil, less idle sway when aiming |
| Handling | Faster reload, rechamber and slide to fire; less first-shot recoil, weapon bob and flinch |
For the equipment that goes with these Perks, see our Warzone killstreaks and field upgrades list. The maps are in our Warzone Hajin map guide.
