Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Open Beta allows players to explore a variety of features, including the new gameplay, Gunsmith 2.0, weapons, maps, and game modes. Another core mechanic that has received a major upgrade with the new game is the perks. Here are all the perks you can equip in Modern Warfare 2 Open Beta.

All Perks available in Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 Beta

Moving away from the traditional three perk slot system, Modern Warfare 2 does something entirely new with this core mechanic. Players now have three perk divisions: Basic, Bonus, and Ultimate. While you spawn in a match with two selected Basic Perks, your selected Bonus and Ultimate perk are granted to you as you progress through the match.
