For all of the aggressive players out there, Black Ops 6 introduced the perfect Perk in Season 2 Reloaded.

In addition to the 21 Perks included at launch, BO6 added three new options in seasonal updates. Shrapnel Radar and Shadow were the first to join the lineup, but neither became top choices.

Shadow makes you undetectable to traps and mines, while Shrapnel Radar reveals enemies on the minimap when they are impacted by tacticals, lethals, and field upgrades. Both are incredibly situational and fail to offer as broad of benefits as other Perks in their slot.

Season 2 finally introduced a Perk worth talking about. Slipstream raises your base sprint speed at the cost of removing Tac-Sprint. The ability makes it easier for aggressive players to fly around the map without being slowed down by Tac-Sprint’s slow sprint-to-fire speed, and Hunter’s Instinct is an ideal ability to partner it with.

What is Hunter’s Instinct in Black Ops 6?

Hunter’s Instinct briefly marks the next closest enemy on your mini-map after an elimination. The Perk also shows the general direction of your next nearest foe.

The Perk is red, making it an Enforcer type under the second perk slot.

How to unlock Hunter’s Instinct in BO6

Dexerto | Activision

Players unlock Hunter’s Instinct through the Armory. Here is everything you need to know about finding the feature.

1. Open the main menu and head to the Barracks tab
2. Navigate to the ‘Challenges‘ page
3. From here, select the Armony.

In the Armory, you must select Hunter’s Instinct to activate it as your next unlock. From there, you need 100,000 XP to unlock the Perk. The fastest way to earn XP in multiplayer is to activate a Double XP token and play the small-map or 24-7 Bullet playlist because it’s easier to get high-elimination matches and earn more XP on smaller maps since there is more action.

Is Hunter’s Instinct worth using?

Hunter’s Instinct is the best Perk 2 option and is worth using, regardless of your playstyle. You could argue for Tracker because it reveals the footprints of enemies or Fast Hands since it improves how fast you switch to your secondary weapon.

Despite that, Hunter’s Instinct is more beneficial because knowing where the next closest enemy is, and their direction allows you to prepare for the subsequent gunfight or catch them off-guard.

The Perk is even better when paired with Slipstream and Dexterity because you get reduced weapon motion while jumping, sliding, and diving, and you sprint faster and aim quicker without getting caught in the awkward animation caused by tactical sprinting.

On top of that, using three red Perks activates the Enforcer Wildcard, meaning Killing enemies grants a temporary buff to movement speed and health regen rate.
