Perks

Perks are permanent character upgrades purchased with Skill Points earned through levelling. They are different from Skills, which improve by performing related actions.

Spending Skill Points

Later perk levels can cost more than early levels, so spreading Skill Points and specialising have different trade-offs. Before confirming a purchase, consider whether your current bottleneck is resource capacity, survivability, combat effectiveness, or loot quality.

Perk changes may be restricted or costly. Treat the in-game confirmation as authoritative for the current cost and effect.
