‘Dead Silence,’ ‘Scavenger’ returning as a Perks in Black Ops 3; ‘Toughness’ will not return
UPDATE: Vonderhaar has also confirmed on Twitter (due note: the game is currently in pre-pre-Alpha stage and everything mentioned is subject to change) that Scavenger perk will be returning, while the Toughness perk will not.
However, Vahn has stated that flinch in Black Ops 3 is in between using Toughness and not using Toughness (Black Ops 2 versions).
Original Story:
David Vonderhaar has confirmed on Twitter that the Dead Silence Perk will be returning in Black Ops 3 multiplayer. His tweet also mentions that the perk is currently in the Perk 3 slot, but the slot could change before launch. Dead Silence allows silenced movement while moving across the maps in multiplayer.
Dead Silence wasn’t made available as a perk in Advanced Warfare; Sledgehammer Games changed it into an Ability with limited time use only.
