Changes: Cold-Blooded

Revision as of 13:21, 31 October 2019

For the camouflage featured in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered, see Cold Blooded Camouflage.

Cold-Blooded is a Tier 2 Perk featured in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, Call of Duty: Black Ops II, Call of Duty: Black Ops: Declassified, Call of Duty: Black Ops III, Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare, and Call of Duty: Black Ops 4, and is a Tier 1 Perk in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. It prevents the player from being highlighted by thermal scopes, and has several other benefits which vary by game.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

Cold-Blooded's primary ability is used for the avoidance of killstreak rewards - it allows the user to be invisible to all forms of air support. The vision for Chopper Gunners, AC-130s and Predator Missiles show players with the Perk active, but does not highlight them with a red outline square. Cold-Blooded users can also be killed by collateral damage from other killstreaks, for instance standing between a user of a different tier 2 Perk while a Sentry Gun is firing upon them.

Instead of appearing as bright white silhouettes through a Thermal Scope, Cold-Blooded players will appear as shades of gray similar to the environment, either friends or foes. This may actually cause the player to be at a disadvantage on snow maps, as the gray has more contrast with the environment, whereas the white-hot silhouette of non-Cold-Blooded players is much harder to spot against the white snow (of course, for this reason, most players choose not to use Thermal Scopes on winter maps, so the issue is often resolved). As they are not truly invisible, moving Cold-Blooded players are much easier to spot through Thermal Scopes than stationary ones. As most Thermal Scope users are more accustomed to bright white silhouettes on the map, it is easy for them to pass right over a Cold-Blooded user.

The Pro version prevents the red name and cross-hairs from appearing on an enemy's screen when they are targeting the user. It is unlocked by destroying 40 enemy killstreak rewards while using this perk. The perk is essential for the "ghosting" tactic, and the Pro version can assist in doing so.

Experienced players use the Pro version in order to play dead, often for "Ninja Defusing", or just to fool enemies who may have hurt them. By going prone, and repeatedly pressing the weapon swap or "cooking" a Stun, Flash, Smoke or Semtex grenade, it will appear as if the player is dead to others.

Call of Duty: Black Ops II

"Resistant to targeting systems including: Dual Band, Target Finder, Sensor Grenade, MMS, and player controlled aircraft. No name or red crosshair when targeted."

— Create-a-Class Description

Cold Blooded appears in Call of Duty: Black Ops II. It prevents the player from appearing on the Dual Band Scope, Target Finder, Sensor Grenade, Millimeter Scanner, and player-controlled aircraft. It also prevents the red name and crosshairs from appearing on an enemy's screen when they are targeting the user.

Call of Duty: Black Ops: Declassified

"No name when targetted."

— In-game description.

Cold Blooded returns in Call of Duty: Black Ops: Declassified.

Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare

"Immune to thermal, target enhancer, threat grenades and enemy call outs. No name displayed or reticle color change when enemies aim at you."

— In-game description.

Cold Blooded returns in Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare as a tier 2 perk. It renders the player immune to thermal, target enhancer, threat grenades, and enemy callouts. No red name or reticle color changes when targeted.

Call of Duty: Black Ops III

"Not targeted by ground-based AI Scorestreaks. Immune to Thermal Optics."

— Create-A-Class Description.

Cold Blooded re-appears in Call of Duty: Black Ops III, preventing players from appearing on the Thermal Optic, BOA 3 and player-controlled aircraft. It will also prevent the player from being targeted by Sentry Guns, Cerberus (scorestreak), GI Units, and R.A.P.S. in Ai-controlled mode.

Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare

"Invisible to thermal detection systems. Enemies cannot see your nameplate."

— Create-A-Class Description.

Cold-Blooded returns in Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare. It lets the user be invisible to thermal detection systems and for the nameplate not to appear when targeted. It is unlocked at level 22.

This perk counters Thermal Sights and the Personal Radar. It also counters FTL's Perception trait and Marksman.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 4

"AI Scorestreaks and Hawk tagging will be delayed when targeting you. Player-controlled Scorestreaks will not highlight you with a target reticle. Immune to Thermal. K-9 and Seeker have reduced detection range against you."

— In-game description.

Cold-Blooded returns in Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 as a perk in the second slot.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019)

"Undetectable by AI targeting systems and thermal optics. Does not trigger High Alert warnings."

— In-game description

Cold-Blooded returns in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare as a Tier 1 perk. Cold-Blooded users will not be highlighted by thermal optics and will be ignored by Sentry Guns, VTOL Jets and Support Helos, similar to Blind Eye from previous games, and will not trigger High Alert. It is unlocked at level 29.

Players with the Cold-Blooded perk are still visible on Recon Drones, but cannot be marked.

Trivia

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

The perk picture shows a lizard surrounded by snowflakes, referencing that lizards are often called cold-blooded creatures.
When killed by a controllable killstreak (Predator Missile, AC-130, Chopper Gunner) the killcam will depict players being killed incorrectly, as it shows a red square around the player's body, even though they would not appear with the square on their monitor normally.
Team members using the Cold-Blooded Perk will not appear white on a friendly thermal scope.
If the player shoots down two Harriers with one Stinger missile and is still going for Cold-Blooded Pro, the two Harrier kills will only count as one.

-=== Tips ===
-*Cold-Blooded is extremely useful for anti-air classes, where it is usually used in conjunction with [[Scavenger]] and a [[Stinger]]. The only perk that really does compete for the slot would be [[Danger Close]], if a player wishes to use either the AC-130/Predator Missile killstreaks, or a rocket launcher such as the AT4 or RPG, which are somewhat ideal for anti infantry usage, along with [[Claymores]] or [[C4]].
-*With this Perk, it is not safe to stand next to someone without it during an enemy killstreak. They will be targeted and the player may be killed with them when they are hit. However, in friendly fire games, the player may be safer, as the average player will not attack players without red boxes since they will assume that the player is friendly. Because of this, players trying to shoot down enemy aircraft with Cold-Blooded should stand away from team-mates.
-*Some players prefer to use Cold-Blooded on knifing classes instead of [[Lightweight]], as stealth is an important part of survival.
-*Cold-Blooded is useful for "Ninja Defusing" as well. Since Cold-Blooded hides the player from any form of detection besides physical contact, or through a heartbeat sensor if the player is not using Ninja, even if the enemy has called in a UAV recon, the player will not show up on radar (though the player will show up on the map when firing their weapon unless a [[Silencer]] is equipped). In addition to being hidden from radar, the Pro version of Cold-Blooded hides the players name and red crosshair if the enemy is looking at the player, making it easy to hide in shadows around the map.
-*Destroying air support, disabling Sentry Guns, and shooting down [[UAV]]s will count towards Cold-Blooded Pro.
-*To be undetectable, use Cold-Blooded, Ninja, a Silencer and any Tier 1 Perk.
-*The Pro effect is very beneficial to snipers wearing [[ghillie suits]] as they can blend in very well with the environment.
-*Cold-Blooded is a bit harder to use on snowy maps, as if a player's adversary has a thermal scope, and the player has the perk active, they will stand out even if they are prone as grey, instead of white, but inexperienced users of the thermal scope may disregard this still. A player who uses said scope may initially disregard the player with the perk, until either the gun's sight slows down significantly over the body, or the other player using the perk opens fire without using a silencer and is caught on the radar.
-*Cold-Blooded is potentially useful for [[Free-For-All]] game mode, where UAVs and AC-130/Predator missile killstreaks seem to be very much useful.

+==Trivia==
 ===Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2===
 *The perk picture shows a lizard surrounded by snowflakes, referencing that lizards are often called cold-blooded creatures.
-*There are three ways of obtaining the Pro version of this perk: by shooting down enemy air support with a launcher, stealing enemy care packages, or by destroying enemy sentry guns.
-*Using this perk in conjunction with Ninja pro makes the player undetectable to all electronic systems (Thermal, Heartbeat Sensors, UAVs, Radar, Killstreak Rewards), and only detectable by players through sight.
 *When killed by a controllable killstreak (Predator Missile, AC-130, Chopper Gunner) the killcam will depict players being killed incorrectly, as it shows a red square around the player's body, even though they would not appear with the square on their monitor normally.
 *Team members using the Cold-Blooded Perk will not appear white on a friendly thermal scope.
-*If a player moves his or her cursor over a player that has the Pro version of this Perk, and they have [[aim assist]] active the player's cursor will slow down when moving over a player regardless of Cold-Blooded Pro, potentially negating the Pro effects of this Perk to the experienced player.
-*There is a glitch that allows a player to receive Cold-Blooded Pro very quickly. If an enemy helicopter is shot down and spinning out of control, every bullet that a player shoots at the helicopter counts as a killstreak destroyed. It is very effective to use a fast-firing [[light machine gun]] to attempt this, as there is the opportunity to fire potentially hundreds of bullets (even more with [[Extended Mags]]) into the helicopter without needing to reload. The experience points the player gains through destroying the helicopter has been patched, but it can still be used to gain Cold-Blooded Pro quickly.
 *If the player shoots down two [[Harriers]] with one [[FIM-92 Stinger|Stinger]] missile and is still going for Cold-Blooded Pro, the two Harrier kills will only count as one.
-===Call of Duty: Black Ops II===
-*Originally, players using Cold-Blooded were still partially susceptible to the [[Target Finder]], as the reticle turned red when aiming at them. This has been since been patched via an update.
