With Verdansk coming back in Season 3, Warzone needs to add this meta movement Perk from Black Ops 6 to help the OG map recapture the magic.

Although Warzone has fully integrated with BO6, meaning all of its weapons are available in the BR, not everything is shared. Certain features remain exclusive to one game or the other, since the two look and play very differently.

This means that there are a few powerful loadout options that only multiplayer fans get to enjoy, while those who stick to the free-to-play option miss out. But with Verdansk making its long-awaited return in the Season 3 update, there’s one Black Ops 6 Perk that would be perfect if it moved over to Warzone too.

Slipstream Perk could change Warzone for the better

Slipstream was added to Black Ops 6 with Season 2 as a new Perk 3 option. Its effect is simple, it buffs your regular sprint speed and removes that Tac Sprint option altogether. Tac Sprint has become a core part of Call of Duty over the years, offering an extra burst of speed that’s ideal for getting around the map, but it’s also proved controversial.

Many players don’t like the need of an extra input to achieve fast movement, especially on controller where it requires an extra click of the right stick. It also comes with a sprint-to-fire penalty, making it tougher to react if an enemy suddenly rears their head.

Fans had been calling for a change for some time and Splitstream provided the answer in Black Ops 6, pairing perfectly with omnimovement and making gunfights feel snappier. Given that movement has been an ongoing concern in Warzone since the launch of Caldera, this Perk would be a welcome addition to give Verdansk that fluid feeling we all remember.

CoD expert WhosImmortal broke down the stats of how Splitstream affects sprinting in BO6 and how it might look in Warzone. He found that overall, your general sprinting is slightly slower than Tac Sprinting, especially when using Double Time which extends the duration.

However, the benefits elsewhere more than make up for this lack of speed. Without the delay forced on you by Tac Sprint, you’re able to react much quicker by aiming or chaining together another movement ability, making the whole experience much smoother.

WhosImmortal also agreed and called for the devs to add the Perk in Season 3.

“From sprinting into ADS, sliding, or diving, whatever the case is, it’s not nearly as clunky as with Double Time,” he said in his video. “So, Warzone not having this, I feel like is kind of an L.”

The devs have no doubt been tracking how Splitstream performs in multiplayer and they have nearly an entire season’s worth of data to analyze. So, if their findings match the general feeling within the community, don’t be surprised to see Slipstream introduced to Warzone alongside Verdansk.
