A Call of Duty dataminer has suggested that the Last Stand perk, now rebranded as Survivor, might resurface in Call of Duty 2024 based on recent findings. The same dataminer has also hinted at the inclusion of various weapons and killstreaks in the upcoming Treyarch title.

The highly anticipated CoD 2024, potentially known as Black Ops Gulf War, is scheduled for release later this year and is expected to be officially announced in the coming months, following patterns from previous Call of Duty marketing strategies. Earlier this year, a dataminer disclosed the initial lineup of weapons for Black Ops Gulf War, featuring several iconic firearms from the early 1990s Gulf War era. This same dataminer now claims to have more details about the upcoming game.

Vondyispog, a prominent Twitter user and dataminer, shared a comprehensive thread outlining numerous in-game elements expected in the next Call of Duty. However, it's crucial to remember that this information remains unofficial and could change pending an official confirmation during a potential reveal event. Among the revelations, the dataminer highlighted the presence of Survivor, formerly known as Last Stand, within the files related to Call of Duty's Black Ops Gulf War. For those unfamiliar, the Last Stand perk, present in the original Modern Warfare titles, allowed players to enter a last stand mode before succumbing to defeat, where they could use a pistol and required additional damage to be eliminated entirely. The revised Survivor perk description indicates a similar function with the addition of a self-revive capability.

The Potential Resurgence of the Last Stand Perk in Call of Duty

Alongside the classic Call of Duty perks like Dexterity and Scavenger, the dataminer introduced new intriguing perks such as Operative, granting players a momentary advantage of spotting enemies through walls upon respawn, and Ante Up, offering an initial 200 points towards scorestreaks at the beginning of each life. These perks, together with Survivor, appear notably potent. If the leaks hold true, Call of Duty 2024 may adopt a pick 10 system or a perk tier setup that accentuates the game's most formidable perks, though this remains speculative.

Expanding on the killstreaks introduced in Modern Warfare 3, the dataminer also purportedly revealed the upcoming CoD killstreaks. These additions feature intriguing options like the Grim Reaper rocket launcher, firing four explosive shells last seen in the original Black Ops, and the Handcannon revolver, unleashing high-caliber rounds, previously seen in Black Ops Cold War.

While these leaks lack official verification, this period often marks the emergence of accurate multiplayer information from dataminers or insiders regarding the next Call of Duty. The anticipated release window for Call of Duty 2024 was rumored for October, with a probable unveiling expected by late June or potentially sooner.
