Idea Perk Ideas and Reworks

As of now the only viable perks are Lightweight, Marathon, Scavenger, Steady Aim, Stopping power, and cold blooded and maybe maytrdom. The rest aren’t very good such as eavesdrop or bomb squad here are a few ideas to replace these or buff them.

ICU: Who even uses this? Sure a 40% regeneration bonus may seem nice but it only makes it so you regenerate when out of combat. Basically this perk just allows you to get back in combat quicker.
Rework: ICU now provides regeneration 1 so now you get healed in combat and it may even let you tank an extra bullet.

Eavesdrop: complete and utter trash get rid of this immediately.
Replacement perk: Comando: As a comando proficent in hand to hand combat you deal increased melee damage allowing for a 2 hit knife kill.

Lightweight: I did say this was viable but it isn’t as used as marathon due to the fact that it isn’t active when you first spawn. This perk now reduces fall damage in addition to the speed buff. Now, even if it doesn’t activate when you spawn in you at least have the fall damage reduction so you aren’t a player that is crippled by losing a perk.

Bandolier + Grenadier: on their own these perks are too weak compared to other perks like stopping power marathon or steady aim. Combining them makes it worth using. Also Bandolier is changed so instead of giving 3 extra clips it gives 50% of your total ammo. This is a nerf for some guns but a buff to others. Now the MSR will get 23 extra ammo instead of 15 when starting the ranger will get 32 extra ammo instead of just 6 overall this change will be more balanced for guns with small mags.

Juggernaut: Ideally this perk should let you tank an extra bullet but that movement speed rebuff guarantees you will get hit by that extra bullet. Why even use this when people who run stopping power completely negate your perk while being able to move faster than you. Just get rid of that speed debuff.

Sleight of Hand: “Remember, switching to your side arm is always faster than reloading” yep very true especially when in brawl the switch is instant, so why use this perk? honestly I don't know a suitable rework for this one.

 

Well you have to sacrifice a perk slot for comando would you rather deal with a 2 hit knifer or a stopping power gunner or prehaps a steady aim shotgunner.

Ice Bear asks what you are suggesting then?

 

Still you have to give up a perk slot to use it so you have to sacrifice potential mobility or damage just for increased melee lethality.

 

Well then you lose perk diversity.

 

The thing is when making a perk it has to be able to be as viable as other perks to be usuable so far the main perks used are marathon lightweight scavenger and stopping power and maybe a few others. More perks to use allows for a greater variety of builds this is the reason I'm reworking perks, to make them good enough to use so when making a loadout you have more choices

 

So your giving level 70s free xray hacks essentially and making it so it takes less skill to play? Ice Bear says this is extremely unfair. The enhanced zoom can't help with player rendering so thats out of the option.

 

How about this Commando: as a master of covert operations and highly trained in hand to hand combat you can backstab players and effectively hit people with your rifle. Basically you can one stab a player from behind and 3 hit players meleeing with your gun.

 

As of now it decreases your reload speed by 35% swapping to sidearms are instantaneous so no matter what switching is faster. Besides, you reload weapons even if you aren’t holding them by the time you’re done using your pistol you already reloaded your primary.

Ice Bear says actually this would be worse in most cases for snipers because it would make you very slow when scopes so your mobility is worse even when quickscoping also a larger zoom probably will throw your aim off more because the transition between scoping and unscoping will be too big this one is hard to explain.
