Call of Duty: WWII Basic Training Skills
How to use Basic Training skills in Call of Duty: WWII
Like Perks from previous Call of Duty games, Basic Training skills are perks you can select to give your soldier enhanced abilities or advantages to assist you on the battlefield. Unlike Perks, each class can only equip one Basic Training skill at a time. However, some Basic Training skills offer more than one attribute to augment your soldier.
Basic Training skills tend to offer more benefit depending on your Division, loadout, or playstyle. For example, you might choose the Lookout skill if you're a sniper. If you like blowing stuff up—particularly enemy Recon Aircraft—Launched might be the Basic Training skill for you.
When you begin the game at Rank 1, Espionage, Launched, and Requisitions are unlocked and available to use. The remaining Basic Training skills must be unlocked with an Unlock Token.
