Perks in Call of Duty: Vanguard heightens your soldier’s abilities. Want to be immune from gas after many hours of survival training? You can do that. Want to reduce your damage from those pesky explosives? You can do that too. Here’s a deep dive on all the perks of Call of Duty: Vanguard.
So far in the game, there are 18 perks to choose from, which are divided into three sections. Many of the perks in Call of Duty: Vanguard have to be unlocked by gaining experience levels. Below is a detailed list of what level you need to acquire the perk and what each of them provides you. You can find your perks in the loadout menu. It’s under the secondary weapon placement.
Perk 1

- This perks reduces damage and health regen delay from being hit by explosives. Your damage reduction is also increased while mounted, crouched, or prone. .
- Survival Training
- You’ll gain a maximized resistance to stun effects and you’ll be immune to gas.
- Ninja (unlocked at Level 15)

- Dauntless (unlocked at Level 24)
- Movement reducing effects will not stop you.
- Ghost (unlocked at Level 36)
- A classic perk is back in Call of Duty: Vanguard. Ghost lets you be undetectable from spy planes, enemy intel, and field mics. This is what we recommend to equip at all times, especially if you’re a sniper or like to camp (we see you).
- Cold Blooded (unlocked at Level 46)
