To activate the effects of the perks listed below, players need to kill enemies to get stacks of Cold Blood. One kill gives one stack of Cold Blood. Each stack lasts for 10 seconds.
The duration of the stack and its added buffs can be lengthened by killing enemies in succession. The effects of each stack will vary depending on the perks in this skill tree, so choose depending on your build.
| Perk | Attr. Level | Effect at Lv. 1 | Rating & Reason |
|---|---|---|---|
 Cold Blood |
3 | After defeating an enemy, gain Cold Blood for 10 sec. and increase movement speed by 2%. Stacks up to 1 time. |
With every enemy kill, it unlocks all of the bonuses afforded in this skill tree. |
 Will to Survive |
5 | Increases all Resistances by 2.5% per stack of Cold Blood. |
While the increase to all Resistances is useful, the very low percentage of increase makes this skill somewhat less useful. |
 Icy Veins |
5 | Reduces weapon recoil by 2.5% per stack of Cold Blood. |
Reducing recoil to all weapons is particularly useful but the increase itself is pretty small. |
 Frosty Synapses |
7 | Reduces quickhack cooldowns by 3% per stack of Cold Blood. |
The reduction of Quickhack cooldowns is useful but the Hacking skill tree has far more useful beneficial perks. |
 Critical Condition |
7 | Increases duration of Cold Blood by 5 sec. |
This allows the effects of the entire Cold Blood perks to last much longer. |
 Rapid Bloodflow |
9 | Increase Health regen inside and outside combat by 50% per stack of Cold Blood. |
Combined with the other defensive bonuses of the Cold Blood skill tree, this allows you to last much longer in battle. |
 Defensive Clotting |
9 | Increases Armor by 10% per stack of Cold Blood. |
The increase is armor is pretty significant especially in higher levels when you start having armors that increase your total armor by 100 points. |
 Coldest Blood |
11 | Increases max stack amount for Cold Blood by 1. |
This, in combination with Coolagulant, makes each Cold Blood last even much longer. |
 Frozen Precision |
11 | Increases headshot damage by 50%. |
This is one of the most useful perks in the Cold Blood tree, making headshots even more lethal. |
 Blood Brawl |
12 | While Cold Blood is active, increases damage with melee weapons by 5%. |
The damage increase is not significant enough to land deadlier blows using blades or blunt weapons but if paired with other perks in the Cold Blood tree such as Predator, then, this perk will be more noticeable. |
 Predator |
12 | Increases attack speed by 10% per stack of Cold Blood. |
The huge increase in attack speed is pretty significant especially with melee weapons. |
 Quick Transfer |
12 | Reduces quickhack upload time by 1% per stack of Cold Blood. |
The reduction in quickhack upload time is useful but the bonus is too insignificant. More useful bonuses can be found in the Hacking skill tree. |
 Cold and Calculating |
14 | Landing a Crit Hit has 25% chance of applying a stack of Cold Blood. |
While the added chance of applying Cold Blood on you is great, there are far better bonuses to be had such as Unbreakable and Coldest Blood. |
 Bloodswell |
14 | When your Health reaches 45%, a max stack of Cold Blood is automatically activated. |
This allows an emergency response when your health becomes low, allowing you to find a way to fight back. |
 Coolagulant |
16 | Stacks of Cold Blood are removed one by one, not all at once. |
This ensures that you maximize each stack of Cold Blood. |
 Unbreakable |
16 | Increases max stack amount for Cold Blood by 1. |
This allows you to have a maximum of 5 stacks of Cold Blood (alongside Coldest Blood and maxed out Cold Blood). This ensures maximum usage of all Cold Blood benefits. |
 Pain Is An Illusion |
18 | While Cold Blood is active, reduces damage taken by 5%. |
The damage decrease allows you to survive longer in battle and use the Cold Bood effects more. |
 Immunity |
20 | While Cold Blood is active, you are immune to Bleeding, Poison, Burn and Shock. |
This is particularly useful as this allows you to battle any kind of opponent without worrying to much about negative status effects. |
 Merciless |
Level 20 in Cold Blood | While Cold Blood is active, increases Crit Chance by 10% and Crit Damage by 25%. +1% Crit Chance and +3% Crit Damage per Perk level. |
This is a really useful perk to have as it allows critical hits to happen more often. |
| Perk | Attr. Level | Effect at Lv. 1 | Rating & Reason |
|---|---|---|---|
| Frozen Precision |
11 | Increases headshot damage by 50%. |
This is one of the most useful perks in the Cold Blood tree, making headshots even more lethal. |

In the crafting screen, would love to see a comparison between what I'm currently equipped with vs what I've selected to craft. In the Inventory screen, I have no idea where any extra weight is without going into each category (weapons, clothes, etc). Please add some sort of weight indicator next to each category so I know exactly where I seem to be overloaded. In the Map, please mark completed items (assault in progress, access points), grey out the icons or something similar?
