How To Unlock The Slipstream Perk in Black Ops 6

Black Ops 6 is one of the fastest-paced Call of Duty titles to date, thanks to the game's Omnimovement system and the return of Tactical Sprint. First introduced in Modern Warfare 2019, Tactical Sprint provides players with faster movement speeds, but has faced criticism due to its increased sprint-out time. However, the arrival of a new Perk may have some fans excited due to its unique effect.

The Shadow Hunt Event has debuted in Black Ops 6, bringing a variety of free rewards for players to unlock. While the TR2 Marksman Rifle is a great addition, it's the Slipstream Perk that could shake up the Black Ops 6 Multiplayer meta. Here’s how to unlock the Slipstream Perk and whether it’s worth using.

How To Unlock The Slipstream Perk

all Shadow Hunt Event rewards in Black Ops 6

The Slipstream Perk is one of the many rewards available in the Shadow Hunt Event for Black Ops 6 and Warzone. To unlock all rewards for Shadow Hunt, players must complete challenges in either Black Ops 6 Multiplayer, Zombies, or Warzone. Each reward has three associated challenges, one for each mode, but players only need to complete one to claim their reward.

Here is a breakdown of the challenges available to complete in order to unlock the Slipstream Perk:

Multiplayer: Get five kills using melee weapons
Zombies: Get 200 kills using melee weapons
Warzone: Get one melee elimination

Upon unlocking the Slipstream Perk, players can equip it in their Perk 3 slot (or Perk Greed slot) for their Multiplayer loadouts. Players will also receive a 30-Minute Double Weapon XP Token along with the Slipstream Perk, allowing them to level up their weapons quickly.

The Shadow Hunt Event ends on February 20 at 10 AM PT. Once it ends, the Slipstream Perk will move over to the Armory for those who have not already unlocked it.

How Good Is The Slipstream Perk?

The Slipstream Perk offers the benefit of increasing the player's base sprint speed at the cost of removing the player's ability to Tactical Sprint. The player's base sprint speed is boosted by approximately 11% with Slipstream. However, this is notably much slower than the speed at which players move whilst Tactical Sprinting.

One of the main advantages of Slipstream—aside from the increased movement speed—is its improved sprint-out time. Since players are limited to regular sprinting instead of Tactical Sprinting, they will notice that their weapon is ready much sooner when coming out of a sprint, as Tactical Sprinting typically causes a notable sprint-out time delay.

For players who want to prioritize faster sprint-out times and a slight movement speed boost, Slipstream is a great choice. However, if players want to maximize their mobility, then Double Time may be the better option for the Perk 3 slot, as it extends Tactical Sprint duration rather than removing it.
