Providing a pseudo-realistic first-person-shooter experience, Warzone is the epitome of what makes battle royale as a genre so fun.

This guide aims to illustrate to players what perks they should aim to unlock or to have in their respective classes. Each of these perks will improve a player's success dramatically.
The Best Perks in Call of Duty Warzone
While every perk provides some degree of influence on a player's success during a match of Warzone, some perks are simply superior compared to others.
Arguably, the most important perk to have on your class in Call of Duty Warzone is the powerful EOD. This perk reduces the damage taken from explosive weaponry such as C4, Semtex, RPG Rockets, Grenades, Claymores, and others. As the meta of the game has shifted and developed the rise of explosive weaponry has dominated the competitive landscape of the title. So being able to combat these dominant weapons is a must. Thankfully, this perk is provided to all players at level 1.
Another powerful perk, and is considered by most players to be the strongest in the game, is the Ghost perk. This removes your character from being seen on radar items such as heartbeat sensors or UAVs. Considering the prevalence of these items during a match, having Ghost can ensure you remain hidden from enemy players. To unlock Ghost, players much reach Level 24, by gaining experience through playing matches.
