Perks and Traits Explained

Stat Boost Modifiers for Weapons

Stat Boost Modifiers

Perks and Traits are small stat boosts that all weapons possess in the game. These range from Intrinsic Traits, Origin Traits, and random Perks which improve a weapon's usage or stats.

List of All Weapons

Rare to Mythic Weapons Have Random Perks

Different Perks Per Weapon

Rare, Legendary, and Mythic weapons can get two random Perks upon acquiring them. The Perks you can get for a weapon are selected from a pool, which are different per individual weapon.

This means that two weapons of the same name and type can have different perks, so their performance in combat may differ.
