Official Call of Duty® Infinite Warfare – Combat Rig Overview

Combat Rigs (also known as simply Rigs) are customizable armor suits designed to enhance and withstand battles on land and in space in Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare. They are a set of weapon systems created by different manufactures and designed for certain factions. They are similar to the Specialists from Call of Duty: Black Ops III. They are customizable and the player can freely switch between Rigs during a match.

Infomation

Each Combat Rigs caters to different playstyles, and each has a set of three Payloads and three Traits, which are weapons, abillites, and persistent perks available to the player.

Unlike Call of Duty: Black Ops IIITemplate:'s personality driven Specialists, the human inside the Combat Rig suit doesn't speak at all unless they give out call-outs or scream. Players are given the option of choosing a Male or Female voice.

Outside of payloads and traits, gameplay is identical for all Rigs. Each Rig has customizable armor which is purely aesthetic.

Because there are no differences in Rig appearances by team nor are there any team based specalists, in order to make it easier for players to spot an enemy all hostile Rigs have a red-colored logo of their faction's insignia on each of their shoulders, while players on the user's team sees a blue insignia.
