With the right combinations of Perks and Gear, you can create different builds with different playstyles. You can be the fastest gunslinger, a cybernetic samurai, or a stealthy netrunner. With the right Perks, you can play the game however you want.
Phantom Liberty Updates
Perk UI Redesign
A redesign on the Perk system arrived with the Phantom Liberty expansion. The new system simplified the perk UI so it's easier to customize and understand.
New Phantom Liberty Perks
Phantom Liberty and the 2.0 update added new perks and changed a few as well.
All Phantom Liberty and 2.0 Perks
Old Skills Were Simplified Into Five New Ones
Previously, each Attribute has two or three Perk trees with corresponding Skill progression bars that track your proficiency in different weapons and playstyles.
Update 2.0 revamped these Skills (along with the Perk trees) and simplified them into five new ones, while keeping the progression mechanic and rewards for reaching certain Skill levels.
