With the arrival of a new Call of Duty game, many fans are just waiting to jump into the game and experience all the exciting new stuff. The game has just launched, so there are plenty of things players don’t know about yet.

What are covenants and are how to get them?

One of the latest features arriving in the game is Covenants. As this is something that we haven’t heard about in the previous Call of Duty games, many fans are wondering what it actually is. Well, here is what Activision states about Covenants

Earn a Sacrificial Heart to spend at the Altar of Covenants each time you successfully complete an objective. Equip up to three Covenants at a time — for example, Unholy Ground to boost your damage when stationary, Ammo Gremlin to reload non-equipped weapons over time, and Cryofreeze for a chance to slow enemies when shooting them. 

There are plenty of Covenants to choose from, allowing you to change up your gameplay and craft powerful new builds from match to match. The selection of Covenants will change after each objective completed, and Covenant rarities will increase the longer you survive into the match, so you’ll always have new strategies available at your disposal

So basically Covenants are a new kind of skill or perks that players can equip for their operators. These will allow them to tweak their build for different playstyles, and at the same time provide them with more flexibility. Covenants can only be bought using Sacrificial Heart, which in turn can be obtained by completing objectives.

There is a cap on the number of Covenants you can equip. There is a maximum of three, so you need to choose the best ones according to your playstyle.
