Call of Duty Leaker Claims Controversial Perk Returning in Next Game

A Call of Duty dataminer has claimed that the Last Stand perk, now called Survivor, could return in Call of Duty 2024 after finding evidence of it. The Call of Duty leaker also claimed to reveal many of the weapons and killstreaks in Treyarch's next title.

CoD 2024, heavily rumored to be titled Black Ops Gulf War, is set to release later this year and will likely be revealed within the next few months, based on previous Call of Duty marketing campaigns.

The dataminer revealed some usual Call of Duty perks like Dexterity, Scavenger, and others, but also shared another interesting perk in Operative, which allows users to briefly see enemies through walls upon respawning, and Ante Up, which gives users 200 points towards scorestreaks at the start of each life. These two perks and Survivor sound particularly powerful, so if the leaks are true, it's possible that Call of Duty
