Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 beta for PS4 begins on August 3 at 10:30pm IST. While Activision or Treyarch is yet to officially comment on the Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 beta download size, it has however, highlighted what Specialists you can play as when the beta goes live. Specialists are playable characters each with their own abilities, personality, and backstory. Since this is a beta designed to test the game in specific ways, Treyarch has stated it "will have gated progression caps as you level up through the multiplayer experience." This is what you need to know about each specialist.
