What Are Specialties in Black Ops 7?

Specialties are extra effects that can be applied to your loadout by combining certain types of Perks in your loadout.

Perks are split into three types, represented by their colour:

• Offense Perks – Red
• Support Perks – Green
• Stealth Perks – Blue

Specialties, on the other hand, have two types: Core Specialties and Hybrid Specialties.

Core Specialties are earned when all of your equipped Perks are of matching colours. Hybrid Specialties are earned by matching two specific colours together.

See the list below to find all Specialties in Black Ops 7, and the required combo to unlock each one.
