In Black Ops 3 Treyarch introduced nine elite Specialists to choose from in multiplayer – each with their own look, personality, voice and battle-hardened weapons and abilities.
The nine Specialists have their own challenge-based unlock progression system, offering a new way to level up alongside global XP and weapons XP.
The Specialists system changes the way players engage in combat at key points throughout a match, as each weapon and ability is designed to make the Specialist a unique force on the field. When using Specialists, players will unlock cosmetic personalization items, further adding to the ability to customize each experience.
