Revisit the perk tree

[sour bough]

It's clear that the game has some more useful perks (Double-Time) and less.. useful ones (Drones' Friend).
Especially on the 3rd perk slot uselessness seems to accumulate.

• Merge both Device Detection and Hacker. Make Hacker possible to hack S-Mines as well (if it doesn't already).
• Add to Blast Protection reduced cool-down to flash, stun and tear gas effects.
• Either buff base HP regen or buff Quick Recovery.
• Remake Drones' Friend into giving you 10-20% bonus points instead of reducing the required amount of points. Optional: You also activate kill streaks faster (like Quick Switch).
• Add "Restock" to 3rd slot; every 25s/15s you get your lethal/tactical restocked. (Active Claymores and S-Mines are capped by 2, deploying a 3rd will have the 1st despawn)

In the 1st Slot Nimble Hands, Quick Reload and Quick Switch all have their place even though the nerf to Nimble Hands was regrettable imo. However Quick Aim and Balance seems lacking, which I would solve by merging both into a single perk.

And 2nd Slot... Double-Time. Actually let that skill be as it is, but buff the alternatives.

• Make Marathon also increase Stamina regen.
• Have Feather Steps also muffle or completely silence jumps.
• Move Ammo Supply to 3rd Perk Slot
• Gear Pouch also carries an extra mag for both Primary and Secondary

Just saying these would be massive changes, I don't expect them to do any of it much less this entire wall of text. These are just my thoughts on the current perks and how you could make them a bit more useful so you don't have the obvious Quick Reload/Nimble Hands -> Double Time -> Stealth/Quick Recovery/Long Ears choice, but instead each perk fulfills at least a niche big enough to actually get considered.

I am in no way calling for nerfs for the meta and I do not particularly wish for a power creep, I just want a wider variety of viable perks to choose from.

i doubt they even have the capacity to change their game much at all nowadays, but well, they missed an opportunity by not giving purple skins to bren and qbz 🤷‍♂️

[livid temple]

If they just add this prolly game would feel new and fun again not just the same sht over and over

And they are giving us skins on bad guns XD

I made a post a while ago saying Feather Steps should muffle your footsteps when sprinting and jumping because the default footsteps sound too loud. Maybe not make it completely silent but at least make them quieter.

[drifting onyx]

Restock every 25 seconds? Hell no, I have enough smines already

[livid temple]

You gonna swap double time tho if you have the new restock and you have hacker combined with detection perk
In the 3rd slot which is mostly not needed

He suggested it as a whole this suggestion so the perks will balance itself

[acoustic yoke]

It would be nice to have more variety with the perks.

This is supposed to be a collection of ideas compressed into one post. Most people will agree but disagree on another parts, I am aware. Regarding "too many S-Mines" I do not have the average time of a public and average life span of a player so I cannot say for sure if 25s is too short. But I repeat, the deployed S-Mine/Claymore will despawn if you redeploy the newly restocked one. @drifting onyx

Fuse/add the effekts of Quick Reload and Quick Switch to Nimble Hands, thanks 💅 🐐

[drifting onyx]

doesnt really matter is it going to despawn or not. just imagine a guy pushing with smg and smines: he pushed the position, deploys smine, 1 guy explodes on it, he runs away, deploys second mine, etcetera. ofc its just an ideal scenario and yet the thing itself of having almost infinity mines feels bad. U placed smine on b site, and then go to a site, and if enemy is just pushing a site(so ur deployed mines on b site becomes useless - bam u just plant another mine on A site in front of guy just cos u have a perk of infinity mines? bruh

[smoky drift]

Drones' Friend is useless at it's current state . Either make it to reduce 10-20% or reduce the drones like zeus and metal reaper to the requirement of hellbird for example

[fast hearth]

Quick recovery is good enough. To merge blast protection with reduce flash time and stuff is way to overpowered. Just say “add new perk to reduce flash time and stuff”.

[swift copper]

Buff blast protection to reduce flash time

[sour bough]

fair enough

[livid temple]

Quick aim should have 25% scope in speed or merge it with nimble hands

This perk is so underpowered
It doesn't even get use ever except in LMGs for me at least XD

[fast hearth]

Easy quick scope everyone + throw everything I want in seconds
