- Tracker – An interesting perk that gives you the ability to see the digital imprint of enemy footsteps for a few seconds.
- Ante Up – This perk operates similarly to the Hardline perk only rather than earning points faster you simply start off with more points each life.

Slot 3 Perks
- Engineer – Reveals enemy equipment on the map when close enough.
