Here are the strongest Perks to use in each slot
Trying to figure out the very best Perks to use in Call Of Duty: Vanguard?Perks may not seem like a terribly important decision at first, but the benefits your Perks can bestow inCall Of Duty: Vanguardcan turn you into a far deadlier force on the battlefield. As with previous Call Of Duty titles, you can only use three Perks at once in a loadout, and you can only put specific Perks in each of your Perk slots, which means you have to be careful when deciding which Perks you’ll forego in favour of others.
If you’re looking for advice on which Perks to use in your custom class setup, or if you’re not really sure how the Perk system works in general, you’ve come to the right place. Below we’ll walk you through the very best Perks to use, and how each Perk benefits you so that you can make the most informed decision possible.

Perks are just one aspect of thebest Call Of Duty: Vanguard loadouts, and so you might think that your choice of Perks depends on the guns you’re using and the general playstyle you want to use. That’s true, to an extent, but there’s also no denying that certain Perks are just so much more useful than others in the current state of Call Of Duty: Vanguard.
Perks in Vanguard are split across three categories, and you can only pick one Perk per category. Below we’ll walk you through each set of Perks and the best Perks to choose for each category for almost any class setup.
The best Perks in Call Of Duty: Vanguard
Perk 1:
Staying off of the enemy’s radar is incredibly important in Call Of Duty: Vanguard, which is why our top Perk choice for slot 1 is Ghost - a Perk which renders you invisible to Spy Planes and all other forms of minimap detection while you’re moving.
Perk 2:
Coming up in second place is a newcomer to Call Of Duty perks: Piercing Vision. This interesting Perk allows you to see suppressed enemies through walls for a short time, essentially giving you a very limited and time-constrained wallhack. Very useful for chaotic close-range maps like Das Haus when going around with aCombat Shotgun, so you can perfectly time your next shot just as the enemy peeks around the corner!
Perk 3:
No surprises here: the best Perk to use in slot three is Overkill, probably the most game-changing Perk in Call Of Duty Vanguard. The ability to carry two primary weapons is just too powerful to ignore no matter what game mode you’re playing.
It’s a shame really, because Lightweight is also a great Perk to use, giving you a passive increase to your movement speed. That’s a very useful thing to have in fast-paced Vanguard matches. But it’s a toss-up whether you should pick Lightweight or the similar Double Time Perk, which increases specifically your crouched movement speed, and doubles the duration of your Tactical Sprint, allowing you to remain at top speed for longer.
But it doesn’t matter, because we both know you’re already going to pick Overkill for 99% of your custom classes.
