Introduction

Guide last updated 3rd of August, 2016.
Latest patch: 2.04

At the moment it's not possible to view how much perks are improved when purchasing upgrades. As such I created this basic guide in attempt to collect information on level 3 perk numbers. This guide will most likely become obsolete once the game client is updated to show all the perk details.

Monster Perk Details

Crippling Attack

Unclear if Crippling Attack and Paralyzing Attack stack.
The slow is refreshed on each new hit on a hunter.

Endurance

Traversal Regen charges your travel bar faster (Spacebar).

Mutated Claw

Stacks with Evolved Claw with both having their own separate ticks.
The damage over time effect is refreshed on each new hit on a hunter.

Hunter Perk Details

Extra Fuel Tank

Jetpack Flight Efficiency only affects how much fuel you use to hover with your jetpack. Dodge thrust always uses 1/4 of your jetpack fuel.

Infravision

Infravision and Ultravision do stack.

Regeneration

If you take damage there is a three second delay before the health regen starts ticking again. This perk does not stack with default health regen mechanic. Multiple Regeneration perks do stack.

All hunters have 1600 health. Here are comparisons how long it would take to regenerate to full health.
20 Health per second = 1 minute and 20 seconds
40 Health per second = 40 seconds
60 Health per second = 27 seconds

Energy

Capacity provides additional battery (ammo) for beam/energy weapons (Hank Laser Cutter), guns (Caira Grenade Launcher) and equipment (Hank Shield Projector).
Unclear if this works on Shield Drones (Sunny).

Poisonous Rounds

Confirmed to work with the following: Sentry Guns (Bucket) and Arc/Tesla Mines (Markov).
Stacks with Acidic Rounds with both having their own separate ticks.
Unclear if this perks stacks with multiple hunters taking it.
The damage over time effect is refreshed on each new hit on the monster.

Reloader

Anything that reloads aside from class abilities and jetpacks benefits from reload speed; such as support (Hank Shield Projector) and medic (Val MedGun) equipment.
Does not however make Plasma Lance (Lennox) fire faster.
Unclear if this works on Shield Drones (Sunny).

FAQ

How do I view character progression rewards?
Go into your profile and choose Characters.

Do perk stack across the three categories?
Yes, in most cases. All numbers stack in additive. If you pick +4% and +8% damage reduction perks total will be +12% damage reduction.

How do perks interact with Wildlife buffs?
Perks and Wildlife buffs do not stack, instead the higher value is only used.

Are perks shared between all characters?
Yes. If you unlock a perk with one hunter, all other hunters can use it. If that perk is already level 3 you instead get silver keys (Bronze 200, Silver 400, Gold 640).

How do I get missing level for perk X?
The monster and hunter unlockable lists are complete. For some perks you just need to purchase the last levels; and some perks you can't get at all from playing.

The only way to unlock the next rank on some perks is buy lvling monster/hunter. but there is a bigger porblem here just becus mk2 server are not the one that got activate means we don't have acces to the store or the silver we get from every match to buy the next rank for the perk u want. if u try to upgrade it i will not be upgrade becus of server failer. only way is to lvl up the char that has it. but we got allot of golden perks that in that problem....

allso if u try to upgrade a perk befor the match starts "monster/hunter selection" the perk will be upgrade up i wont work and will disable the hole perk and leave the perk slot with noting

@BMGxLT - no, the only way to play EvSt2 is to install it and then go back to Evolve Legacy. There are a few Mates who still playing it sometimes. But EV2 is dead. They shut down the server since a while.

Cheers
