Perk Resources[]
Replacing or Upgrading Perks costs three new resources:
- RE-PERK! is available throughout all zones starting in Plankerton and above.
- It is used to change or modify a Perk.
- PERK-UP! is also available throughout all zones starting in Plankerton and above, but also has different rarity levels only found in later Zones of the game.
- It is used to upgrade the rarity of a Perk.
- Core RE-PERK! is only available from Ventures Level-Up rewards and Quests, Weekly 160s Quest and certain Ventures Questlines like Imposter!.
In addition, you’ll be able to choose which element you want on your weapon. This modification requires elemental resources:
Legacies
Legacies[]
Weapons and Traps that haven't been converted to the new Perk System are considered Legacies. They have outdated and some unobtainable Perks. Perks on a Legacy Item cannot be changed unless it is converted to the new system.
- When players attempt to modify the perks of a Legacy Item, they will first be prompted to opt-into converting the Legacy item into the new system.
- Before opting to convert the item, the system presents you with a before-and-after preview of any changes that may occur to the item.
- In some cases, there will be no change, and in others the perk loadout may be altered.
- Sometimes, a ‘Free’ slot may appear. Free slots allow players to choose what goes into that slot for free after the conversion is accepted.
- In all cases, the Conversion process is free, and on a per-item basis. This means that each Legacy item must be converted to work with the Perk Recombobulator, one-at-a-time. Once the process is performed on an item, you’re free to begin customizing that item’s perks!
Perk Slots
Perk Slots[]
- Elemental items now have a dedicated perk slot.
- Perks have five levels of power; (Common, Uncommon, Rare, Epic, Legendary)
- If you want your Legacy item to reach its full potential, you’ll have to convert it using the Perk Recombobulator.
- Each perk slot has a range of possible perk types that it can contain.
- Players can choose to replace a perk in a given slot, but the list of perks that a slot can be changed to is limited in scope, and varies from slot to slot.
- Some perks cannot be changed at all.
