The Zombies mode in Modern Warfare 3 has been met with widespread praise, despite initial concerns from players over how it would work. But one question many of you are asking is what exactly are all the perks in Modern Warfare Zombies, and what do they do?

Treyarch developed Zombies for Modern Warfare 3, taking a completely different spin on the once-popular mode to give it a new lease of life, and it has paid off so far, despite its departure from the round-based gameplay fans are used to.

The mode also gives players their first look at the new Urzikstan map coming to Warzone when that launches in Season 1, making the excitement even more palpable for Zombies.

So if you’re looking to stay ahead of the game and fully figure out all the perks to find out what’s best for you, here they are.
