Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare — 6 Combat Rigs Revealed
Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare introduces a new Combat Rigs system, which is 6 special characters that feature different abilities for players to use. Combat Rigs offer Payloads and Traits.
Payloads are similar to Call of Duty: Black Ops 3’s Specialist Weapons and abilities, in which the character gets a certain weapon or ability to use for a limited period of time. It’s exactly the same as Black Ops 3 to activate — press L1 + R1 once the meter in the bottom right has filled.
Here’s the six Combat Rigs:

Payloads:
- Erasers
- FTL Jump (traverse a space)
