Modern Warfare 4 offers an abundance of Perks to unlock, all of which are unlocked via level progression as you get deeper into the game.

The first batch of Perks unlocks at level 4, which is when the Create-A-Class option is available, with the initial batch featuring six perks across the three different slots.

The table below shows all Perks in MW4, the slot they fall into, a description, and the level you gain access.

How Many Perks in Modern Warfare 4?

There are a total of 18 Perks to choose from in Modern Warfare 4, split across three Perk Slots, with one equippable from each slot.

That leaves a loadout featuring three Perks, which you can mix and match as you see fit to create your ultimate set-up, albeit with some restrictions.

You can’t select more than one Perk from the same slot, which does reduce the total number of combinations available, but players should be used to that, as it’s always been the Call of Duty formula.

Later down the line, Infinity Ward could add additional Perks through seasonal updates, though this remains to be seen.
