How will Specialist Abilities work in Black Ops 7? Possibilites explored

Right now, we don't have confirmation of how the abilities will exactly work in Black Ops 7. However, based on how they functioned in Black Ops 3, we can make an assumption. Unlike Perks, Specialist Abilities require players to complete certain objectives, and each ability is tied to a specific objective in the game.

For instance, there might be one ability that reveals all enemies within a specific range. In Black Ops 3, this was called Vision Pulse. The objective could be killing 10 enemies in a row. After completing the objective, you'll be granted the abilities for a short period.

In Black Ops 3, there were specific Specialist operators with their unique sets of weapons and abilities. We are yet to discover if that will be the case in the upcoming title. However, given that Black Ops 7 is set in a futuristic timeline, we may see specific Specialists again.

That covers everything we know about the potential return of Specialist Abilities in Black Ops 7. Check out our other Call of Duty-related news and guides:
