Poll: Perk Popularity

#1

I thought this information might be interesting for both the Developers and Community, to get an idea of which Perks are the most and least used.

I would like to keep this post as constructive as possible.
Feel free to comment on why you tend to use or NOT use certain perks.

I hope the developers could use this information to assist in balancing. (They may already be logging this data though, I don’t know).

Note: Much to my frustration, Polls only allow 20 options. So I’ve needed to make TWO polls for each, as there are 25 perks.

Gearhead & large pouch are just flat out better because of the extra on demand heals for both sides. Unless you want to limit yourself to 2 engagements assuming you can end the game in 5 mins.
Whereas impenetrable is like a 5% difference and no one realizes it.

I never have enough space for Gearhead, if it was 4pts I’d be using it.

Heavy hitter PERK is a must for ASSAULT or DUTCH.

#5

I didn’t see that one of the polls said “Least used” so I really thought that a majority of Pred players were using Resourceful. I thought that it explained a lot lmao.

#6

I rarely use Heavy Hitter… if Dutch had more perk points for use I’d have it on him.

I’m using: Double Time, Dexterous & Sixth Sense on my main Dutch build.

Recon best class ever. Can use whatever gear and perks it wants. Takes true skill to use recon.

I think you’re weakening him

#9

With DUTCH i use only Heavy hitter, owlf trained, and boby armor for AI. Tough perks for the Tough guy.

#10

with impenetrable… its a worthless perk. 15 percent total dmg reduction… with 40 rnd hammer head or ak can still 100-0

#11

Disagree with the large pouch part. Unless you need other extra gear, impenetrable is far better for managing hp imo. Slightly longer more confident engagements/less risk of rapid death if you get yourself in a bad situation. 10% is nice for anything above scout; an extra heal is kinda useless, there’s bacon for that

Or scout since they have the same health but the scout has less gear points by 2, and less perks too

#13

Recon has 125 scout has a 100 no? Idk i have only played the other class a hand full of times

#14

With one of the patches my scout starts at 125 just like my recon. You made me double check, and fast pickup is handy
