Relics appear in Call of Duty: Ghosts, mode Extinction. They are first unlocked when the player prestiges in Extinction; upon reaching Prestige 1, Rank 1, the player will then be able to equip any one Relic in the Loadout menu. Each time the player Prestiges, up to Prestige 5, they can equip an additional Relic. Each Relic equipped increases the score by 20%.
Relics
- Take More Damage - Players take more damage when injured. (Approximately 15% increased damage)
- Pistols Only - Weapon purchases are not allowed.
- Smaller Wallet - Earn and carry less cash. ($3000 Maximum cash and 75% money earned from Cryptids)
- Mortal - No Class selection available.
- Do Less Damage - Inflict less damage against the aliens. (Approximately 20% less damage dealt to all aliens)
Note that all Relics only affect the player with the Relic equiped. For example, if the Smaller Wallet Relic is in play, only the player with the Relic will earn and carry less cash. All the other players in the session will have $6000 maximum, unless they too are using the Smaller Wallet Relic.
Trivia
- The icons for each Relic resemble alien glyphs. What they exactly mean is unknown.
- Despite the Pistols Only Relic stating that "weapon purchases are not allowed," the player(s) are also prohibited from taking free weapons out of lockers or take the Venom-X.
