Call Of Duty: Infinite Warfare has a new trailer heading into its beta, and it explains how the game’s Combat Rigs system works. Between several classes with unique styles, we know which character is best suited for all players.
In the words of Activision promotion, Combat Rigs are “wearable, customizable weapon systems using top-of-the-line tech built for extreme military applications.” In layman’s terms, as we described in a recent feature, Rigs are essentially another name for the Specialist system that debuted in Call Of Duty: Black Ops 3. There are six Combat Rigs available with three different payloads and persistent traits each.
The trailer then goes into the specifics of how each Rig can be used during Infinite Warfare’s multiplayer gameplay. Warfighter is a good all-around, mid-range choice, Stryker is tactical support, Phantom is for snipers, Merc is built for defense and heavy artillery, FTL is tuned for close-quarters stealth and Synaptic is best in melee and SMG firefights. The clip doesn’t discuss payloads or traits, but our linked feature above has a lot more info on that.
This news arrives just days before the Call Of Duty: Infinite Warfare PS4 beta begins on Oct. 14. A second beta for PS4 and Xbox One players is also expected to start on Oct. 24. Initially the testing period will be restricted to those that pre-ordered the game, but it’s possible that it might open up to the public towards the end of each cycle. With this informational trailer, players won’t be totally in the dark once the battles commence.
Call Of Duty: Infinite Warfare releases Nov. 4 on PS4, Xbox One and PC.
