Perks

Perks are minor buffs to the player.Two perks may be equiped at a single time. Each class unlocks two perks through their experience tree.

Initial Perks
These two perks are the initial perks:



Determination
+100 Health on spawn after no kills or flag touches, up to +300 health.

This is probably the best perk for begginer players, as it offers them some leeway when going for flag captures. Most players will want to grow out of this perk, since it will not trigger on a successful kill.

Goes well with: Any.

Rating 3/10



Extra Capacitor
+10 maximum energy

A simple perk that offers a little more flight time. Good for anyone who wants a bit more speed and manuverability.

Goes well with: Any.

Rating 4/10

The following are the unlockable perks as well as the class that is needed to unlock them.

Bounty Hunter
+200 credits awarded for enemy kills

Great if the player plans to be a big spender. These extra credits can lead to a lot more Orbital drop strikes, and more vehicle purchases. This is genrally a great perk for upgrading the base as well.

Goes well with: Air show, Wheel Deal, Barter.

Rating 9/10



Looter
50% more ammo from drops.

If you're going to be away from the base for a long time, you will certainly want this. Looter makes your kills provide you with enough ammo for yet another kill, and so on. Use with other looting perks to increase your staying power.

Goes well with: Explosive Looter, Survivalist.

Rating 6/10

Air Show
Reduces cost of air vehicles by 25%

Great for those who want to get a shrike ASAP. Having air support earlier on in the game can put the enemy team at a disadvantage. Players who want to specialize in aircraft will want this.

Goes well with: Stealthy, Trap Detection, Ejection Seat.

Rating 7/10



Survivalist
Heal 20% and Regain 20% energy from ammo drops.

Geat for going on a killing spree, especially in the enemy base. Also helps to keep you alive in encouters against more than one enemy at a time. Considering that happens almost constantly, this is a really helpful perk. Couple with other looting perks to increase your staying power.

Goes well with: Explosive Looter, Bounty Hunter, Looter.

Rating 10/10

Reach
Enlarges the proximity around the flag within which you can earn a pick up.

Great for giving yourself leeway in cutting around a Heavy on Flag or making up for slightly miscalculated trajectories while still letting you get away with the flag.

Goes well with: Squirrelly, Stealthy, Egocentric, Safe Fall.

Rating 7/10



Egocentric

If you plan on siletly killing lights and mediums in a single hit, this is the best perk to use.

A great way to help out your team by being the designated buyer. Better equipment at your base will make it much harder to destroy.

Squirrelly

Great if you rely on your off hand weapons, bringing more with you will help you to clear out rooms and defenses, as well as destroying that generator.

Ejection Seat
Take no damage from your own vehicle explosion.

Super Heavy
Substantially increases armor mass, reducing knockback from explosives.

If you don't want to be shoved around, this is a good way to stay in one place.

Goes well with: Smack Down, Slash Sheild.

Rating 3/10



Bulwark
Reduces damage from vehicle run-over by 80%.

Great for... honestly I don't really get why this is in the game. Don't take this. It's already pretty hard to get run over when you have a jetpack readily availible.

Goes well with: Nothing, Don't use this.

Rating 1/10

Armor of Legends
+25% Beowulf health.

Great for the Beowulf affectionado. Keeps your tank alive longer.

Goes well with: Wheel Deal, Ejection Seat.

Rating 6/10

Hoarder
+1 grenade/mine ammo carried.

Great for increasing your destructive power if you're a fan of grenades.

Goes well with: Demolitions, Explosive Looter.

Rating 7/10

Ultra Capacitor
+10 maximum energy.

Another energy cappacitor. They do stack, increasing your maximum energy pool by 20 total. If you weren't going to use this for the stacking mechanic, I don't know why you spent the time unlocking it.

Goes well with: Extra Cappacitor.

Rating 4/10



Smack Down
Melee causes flag drop on targets

If you can get up to them to punch them, odds are that you should have been shooting at them. Either that, or they are already dead, and they don't need to drop the flag a second time. Extra energy will help you to catch up to them so that you can actually use this perk.

Alternatively, use with Super Heavy as a Heavy class when defending the flag. The reduced knockback will allow you to stay planted on the flag and in melee range when taking fire from players attemping to grab the flag.

Goes well with: Extra Cappacitor, Backstab, Super Heavy.
