Perks

Perks are player-chosen modifiers that affect their skills and stats during the game. There is a wide range of perks, such as extending the duration of wounds, increasing sprint speed, and even some that let the contestant start with certain items. Perks help to bring more variety to the game by allowing contestants to choose their own play style, keeping every match different and interesting.

Each contestant can choose 3 different perks to start each match with. Some perks are better for the early minutes of the match, while others are geared towards the end of the match. A lot of perks offer better synergies with your airdrop as well. Therefore, it is important to be aware of what each perk can bring to your personal play style, as perks can't be changed during a match in any way.

There are 6 perk categories to choose from: Melee Weapons, General Offense, Health/Stamina, Utility, Ranged Weapons, and General Defense. Unlike with airdrops, all perks are available to players from the start so there is no need to unlock any.
