Call of Duty: Black Ops 6has a lot of different moving parts in it, and loadouts are no different in that regard. There are 11 different aspects of your loadout that you can customize, not to mention how much you can change on each weapon, in the Gunsmith.
The final part of your loadout that you’re able to customize is the Wildcard slot. These Wildcards can drastically alter your gear, changing either what you can put in a certain section of your loadout, or allowing you to equip something extra into your loadout entirely.
What Are Wildcards?
Wildcards act as, essentially, a fourth, extra-powerful perk slot. But where perks generally change how your character functions,Wildcards change what exactly you can bring with you into the fight.
Wildcards also have no bearing on your Combat Specialty, like perks do. While they function in similar ways, you’re able to feel free toequip whatever Wildcard you’d like, and it’s not going to disallow you from using the Combat Specialty that you have equipped.
