These are the 8 (or 6 if Skilled) regular, leveling perks you choose as your Character levels up. Not to be confused with Weapon Perks or Support Perks.
Key Perks
Notice below that no matter which build type you choose, a few Perks are considered nearly mandatory for all characters. They include:
- At least one Lifegiver because Hit Points are that important.
- Even Tougher for tanks. Even some snipers use this one.
- Bonus Rate of Attack so you shoot (and punch) faster.
Avoid These Perks
- Weapon Handling. ST-related penalties to Hit Chance are offset with higher gun skill.
- Gambler (not documented) because Gambling is not working yet.
- Ghost except for a dedicated sneak/spy/scout
- All of the AC perks, unless you really want an Armor Class specialist: Livewire, Dodger
For Tanky Characters
For treasure hunters and other PvE explorers, or even some PvP fighters:
- Level 3: Adrenaline Rush or Quick Pockets
- Level 6: Toughness or Quick Pockets
- Level 9: Even Tougher
- Level 12: Lifegiver
- Level 15: Lifegiver or Man of Steel
- Level 18: Bonus Rate of Attack
- Level 21: Action Boy or Bonus Ranged Damage
- Level 24: Stonewall or More Ranged Damage
For Snipers
For a proper sniper, you should decide which gun you'll mainly use, check the weapon's range, and plan your snipers Sight accordingly. At the bare minimum, this means being able to see at least as far as your gun shoots, but it is advised to have Sight 1 or 2 hexes beyond that. Remember to account for Drugs when planning builds with such precision. Typical perks might be:
- Level 3: More Critical
- Level 6: Even More Criticals
- Level 9: Sharpshooter
- Level 12: Better Criticals
- Level 15: Gain Luck from 8 to 10
- Level 18: Bonus Rate of Attack
Other Fun Perks
Not mentioned above are some perks for builds that can be fun, like Sneakers, Pyromaniacs, Turn-Based builds, Throwers, Rocketeers, etc. Some are:
- Heave Ho! and Heave Ho!!
- Burn everything to ashes with Pyromaniac and an Incinerator
- Punch it with In Your Face! and Close Combat Master
- Assassins choose Silent Death, Silent Running, and Ghost
- If you like a little role-play, consider a combat medic and try Medic and Field Medic.
