The specialist bonus in Warzone is the best pick-up in the game. It’s so strong that its effects will surprise you. Whether you’re looking to dominate the battlefield or have some fun, the specialist bonus is something that you should try and get your hands on. Here’s how to do it.

What Is the Specialist Bonus Perk in Warzone

The specialist bonus is not your regular Warzone buff. It’s so strong that many players want it out of the game. Although incredibly rare, it gives the ones lucky enough to get it the effects of every perk in the game simultaneously.

That’s right. When you acquire the Specialist Bonus, you instantly become the most powerful player on the map. Powerful perks like Ghost and Double Time will tremendously increase your chances of winning the match.

The bonus can be found in the game as a token. It is very similar to the dog tags from the kill confirmed game mode. It displays a fist and three stars on it as a legendary item.

Although it got nerfed in Vanguard, the bonus is still quite strong.

Here’s a list of all the perks that the Specialist bonus activates:

  • Battle Hardened
  • Overkill
  • E.O.D
  • Scavenger
  • Cold-Blooded
  • Tracker
  • Quick Fix
  • Restock
  • Double Time
  • Hardline
  • Tempered
  • Shrapnel
  • Pointman
  • High Alert
  • Ghost
  • Tune-Up
  • Amped
  • Spotter
  • Combat Scout
  • Kill Chain

Specialist Bonus Perk Warzone Where To Find and How To Get

Even though such a strong buff would make for an exciting contention point for players, there is no definite way to get it. The specialist bonus is a random drop from crates. It has a much higher chance of dropping from orange crates.

Most orange crates are held up in points of interest to encourage players to fight. This means that the specialist bonus will be contested almost every game. Although many players will forget about the possibility of finding the bonus in the heat of battle, it’s always good to keep an eye out for it.

Try to go around the weapon trade stations to find some legendary crates.

As good as the bonus is, its rarity heavily outweighs the positives, and the possibility of not getting one in a match is relatively high. Try not to focus too much on getting the perk, especially early on.

It’s much better to go for this bonus after getting your loadout and a good number of supplies. Additionally, you should not compromise your position in a match just for a chance of getting the specialist bonus. If you pair the Specialist with a powerful weapon like the Grau, you’ll be unstoppable.
