List of Contents
Investing in certain Reflexes and Cool perks will make any Smart weapon a force to be reckoned with, as there will be no running or hiding from these high-tech killing machines.
Reflexes is the foundation of this build. Some Smart weapons have a low DPS, so acquiring Assault perks will increase your damage against enemies.
| Reflexes determine your maneuverability. In addition to increasing your overall movement speed, each level in Reflexes will: - Increase your passive Evasion from enemy attacks by 1% - Increase Crit Chance by 1% - Increase damage from Mantis Blades by 3 |
Cool is needed to unlock Cold Blood, which will give your attacks potency. Increasing the level of this attribute will unlock additional Cold Blood perks, making you more unstoppable.
| Cool determines your resilience, composure and effectiveness in operating from stealth. Each level of Cool will: - Increase Crit Damage by 2% - Increase all Resistances by 1% - Increase stealth damage by 10% - Reduce the speed at which enemies detect you in stealth by 0.5% - Increase monowire damage by 3 |

| Skill Tree | Reflexes | Assault |
| Required Attribute Lv. | 7 |
| Effect (Lv. 1) | Deal 25% more damage with Rifles and Submachine Guns to enemies whose Health is above 50%. |

| Skill Tree | Reflexes | Assault |
| Required Attribute Lv. | 14 |
| Effect (Lv. 1) | Increases Crit Damage with Rifles and Submachine Guns by 35%. |
This perk takes advantage of the Smart weapons' homing technology, raking in higher critical damage with any Smart rifle and submachine gun.
| Perk | Long Shot |
|---|---|
| Skill Tree | Reflexes | Assault |
| Required Attribute Lv. | 18 |
| Effect (Lv. 1) | Rifle and Submachine Gun damage increases the farther you are located from enemies. |
Similar to Named Bullets, this perk also benefits from any Smart weapon's self-guided micro-projectiles by increasing your damage the farther you are from enemies.
| Perk | Cold Blood |
|---|---|
| Skill Tree | Cool | Cold Blood |
| Required Attribute Lv. | 3 |
| Effect (Lv. 1) | After defeating an enemy, gain Cold Blood for 10 sec. and increase movement speed by 2%. Stacks up to 1 time. |
This perk gives you a 10 second speed buff after defeating an enemy. A single kill will also automatically grant you all of the Cold Blood perk tree bonuses.
| Perk | Critical Condition |
|---|---|
| Skill Tree | Cool | Cold Blood |
| Required Attribute Lv. | 7 |

| Skill Tree | Cool | Cold Blood |
| Required Attribute Lv. | 9 |
| Effect (Lv. 1) | Increases Armor by 10% per stack of Cold Blood. |
This perk will allow you to survive longer in battle, allowing you to maximize further the effects of Cold Blood.

|---|---|
| Skill Tree | Cool | Cold Blood |
| Required Attribute Lv. | 14 |
| Effect (Lv. 1) | Landing a Crit Hit has 25% chance of applying a stack of Cold Blood. |
Together with Named Bullets, this will increase your chance of applying a stack of Cold Blood whenever you land a Critical Hit.
The best weapons to use for this build are those that give you a high chance of killing an opponent quickly. However, any Smart weapon can still benefit from this build.

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?
When i get called I get the gun guy from the beginning stuck inside of the person who is calling me. I have this with every call. It started after v was speaking with 2 people at once during a call
