How to Unlock Class Perks

Level Up Classes

Class Perks are gained by unlocking them at certain levels. All classes have a starting Perk tied to their unique ability and have 24 more that are unlocked by level. You can gain levels by taking on co-op Operations.

Spend Requisition

Once you've leveled up, you'll also need to use Requisition gained by completing Operations to unlock the perks for use.

How Class Perks Work

Select One Perk Per Column

You can only select one perk for every column per class. This means you can equip up to 3 Gear perks, 3 Core perks, a Team perk, and a Signature perk.

Only Available in Operations Mode

Class Perks are only active during Operations, the 3-player PvE mode. These perks aren't available in the PvP Eternal War for balance purposes.
