Call Of Duty: WW2 - 10 Tips & Tricks The Game Doesn't Tell You

3. The 'Primed' Basic Training Ribbon Is Pretty Much Essential

Call of Duty games have always struggled with balancing the severity of "flinch" in their multiplayer suites, but the problem in WW2 is even more pronounced than usual.

The first person to get hit in a firefight is almost certainly destined to be the loser, as the way damage throws off your aim in this latest title is so extreme that you virtually can't return fire accurately once you've been hit.

Fortunately, the Primed basic training ribbon comes in handy here, reducing the amount your character flinches when fired upon (while also giving you another attachment slot for your primary weapon as an added bonus).

Sadly, the perk isn't available until well past rank 30, which means that you'll have to play a while without it first. Still, once you have levelled up enough to unlock it, you can save yourself a world of pain by equipping it straight away.
