Well hello there. If you are reading this then you are interested or need to know about the perks in COD4 (Call of Duty 4). In this guide I will explain the uses of each perk and how they can be put to use. After you have obtained lvl 03, you will be allowed to create your own soldier. I will also mention some perks that can go together make your perfect fighting machine/soldier.

Explanation of Perks

Perk 1 is known as the explosive perks.

1 Flash grenades are really useful grenades. They can be used to disorient the enemy, so they can be killed easily or to make a quick getaway.

2 Bomb squad allows you to find and diffuse bombs. When using this skill you will not be taken off guard from the C4 or claymores set up for you.

3 C4s are used as deadly explosives that stick on any surface. Basically they are used as traps and camp until you find a victim BOOM! Goes the other guy

4 Claymores are much better then C4. they are trip activated mines. Meaning, you just stick the claymore bomb to the wall (recommend for best performance) and leave or watch the enemy die

5 RPG-7 is a rocket launcher. You are given two shots to begin with. A rocket launcher

Can be used as a weapon to 1) take down a helicopter 2) hit a far person and kill them without the use of a sniper rifle

6 Special grenades are a new set of grenades. They are flash and stun grenades. They have there uses also similar to a smoke grenade but a little different. You are allowed to choose 3 smoke or 3 flash. Stun is unavailable for this perk.

7 Frag X3 gives you three more grenades with no special grenades. If you want to take the enemy head on then this perk is for you.

8 Bandolier is a perk that allows you to have more ammo in a clip. I'm not familiar in this skill but this perk is good for long matches or survivalists.

Perk 2 can be known as the combat perks.

1 Juggernaut is a perk that gives the player more health. This perks allows the player to take more damage then a normal person. This perk is useful for people who are survivalists or intend to play one game with one life.

2 Sleight of hand is a useful perk in many different ways. If you are carrying weapons that have a long reloading time, make sure you have the sleight of hand perk. Sleight of hand decreases the time for reloading and allows the player to engage into combat once again after reloading.

3 Stopping power is a perk that allows the player to kill his enemies faster. The bullets

from stopping power deal more damage than without the perk. With this perk requires

less bullets to kill the enemy thus saving you ammo from your gun.

4 UAV Jammer is one deadly, useful perk if used correctly. This perk makes you undetectable on the radar. You can not be seen by the enemy radar. Every time you shoot your position is revealed on the radar. With this skill you position on radar is not revealed when you fire and can keep on shooting without being revealed.

5Sonic boom is a useful perk for only experienced players or players that use explosives in the game. This perk gives a grenade/C4/claymore/ (maybe RPG-7) more damage. The damage range is increased slightly. For smoke/flash/stun grenades, the range of its use is increased slightly.

Decent article. I didn't think there needed to be lists like 3 times. The perks should have been listed but right under the perk on the list should be the description. Otherwise we're looking through the list once, then copied exactly plus a definition/reason for it. Just add them together. Anyways nice work.

try a p90 with silencer
Perk1- ur choice of style if u camp/ play S&D try claymore or 3 frags spec or non spec both are good
"2- uav ( with a silencer undetectable good for S&D)
-or double tap (witha p90 unbelievable)
"3- dead silence (this makes u unheard so easier sneaking)
- or extreme conditiong (helps alot when outflanking people)

Last notes: when u through flash grenade it makes ur foes completly unable to fight unless they have an lmg to keep shooting lol, But stun grenades when they work on ur target it shows as a hit on ur indicator i dont think flash's do so very helpfull if u storm in and find ur enemy waiting! but ur targets can fight back slightly more effectively unless they r facing another way LOL! try em out =] i find em much more effective as work when it hits em from behind! try em out!

They need to nerf martyrdom as well as the N00b Tube.
They should also allow you to control the speed of your crouch/prone... I always get capped after ghosting in front of a sniper because my head pops up too fast.....

#19 by mike, Jul 16, 2008
UAV Jammer does NOT hide you on radar when you shoot. It only hides you from UAV scans. You need a silenced weapon to be entirely undetectable.

#27 by SintacksError, Sep 13, 2008
This article sucks. It was poorly written and a lot of the info is wrong or biased.
#28 by StrikingShadow, Oct 30, 2008
Great article, thanks for the info, most stuff I already knew from expirience, but I really wish I had read this when i was new :) My most prefered "Ninja" classes are P90/Mp5 (doesnt really matter) silenced, Bandolier, UAV Jammer and Dead Silence. And no, dead silence is not "useless" at all. It is extremely effective when used right, for Eg. When flanking. Anyone who says its useless is most likely using it wrong. The perk doesnt make you invisable, so running head on at people will still get you killed rather fast. Steady aim is also rather useful, the only time I can think of that it wouldnt be is on an LMG, in which case the larger bullet spread would come in handier more often, as Jazzbran said.
