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.

Soldier
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.

Rating 6/10

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.

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.
