What Specialist Mode Does

To expand on the above, activating the Specialist mode will take away your ability to earn killstreaks in exchange for the ability to equip more perks.

Six perks, to be precise, three of which are active right from the start of each new game. The next three will then unlock at two, four, and six killstreaks.

How to Activate Specialist in Call of Duty Modern Warfare.

Specialist can be activated for any create-a-class character. To do so, follow these steps:

  1. Open Custom Loadouts.

  2. Cycle to the perks menu and open it.

  3. Beside your three selected perks, you will see the option “Activate Specialist.” Select this option and you’ll then notice you have twice as many perks available.

  4. Add your new perks and apply.

And that’s all there is to it. Obviously, if you want to deactivate this mode then just re-enter the perks menu and uncheck the Activate Specialist option.
