The Overkill perk allows you to equip two different primary weapons in your loadout. This helps you create more versatile loadouts to ready yourself for several different combat situations and get more kills!
Keep Yourself Stocked
Nothing is more frustrating than running out of ammos during heated fights! The Scavenger perk resupplies your ammos from fallen players, allowing you to get more kills, and earn better killstreaks!
Complement Overkill With Amped
If you have the Overkill perk equipped, you can also opt to choose the Amped perk in order to allow for faster weapon swaps. Since swapping between two primary weapons is slow, Amped allows you to get to your next weapon faster.

Tracker is a must-have perk if you are playing aggressively. You will be able to track down enemies and rack up the kill count to earn more killstreaks!
