One of the most controversial topics surrounding WWII right now is Sledgehammer Games’ decision to replace the classic perk system with basic training abilities.

In previous Call of Duty titles, the create-a-class system allowed players to select multiple perks—or in-game abilities—from separate tiers to help improve their in-game soldier. In WWII, however, it appears that each class can only equip one basic training ability—the ones that are replacing perks.

In the WWII private multiplayer beta, there were 14 total basic training abilities. Others were revealed in an older Reddit post, but this list will only feature the basic training abilities that were available in the WWII beta.
