==Key Perks==
Notice below that no matter which build type you choose, a few Perks are considered nearly mandatory for all characters. They include:
* At least one [[Lifegiver]] because [[Hit Points]] are that important.
* [[Even Tougher]] for tanks. Even some snipers use this one.
* [[Bonus Rate of Fire]] (or [[Bonus HtH Attacks]]) so you shoot (or punch) faster.

==Avoid These Perks==
* All medical perks, unless you're trying a Role-Play character.
* Except in [[TB]], [[Earlier Sequence]] is not usually preferred in [[RT]] over [[Adrenaline Rush]].
* [[Weapon Handling]]. [[ST]]-related penalties to [[Hit Chance]] are offset with higher gun skill.
* [[Gambler]] because [[Gambling]] is not working yet.
* [[Tree Trunk Thighs]]
* All of the GAIN perks
* [[Ghost]]
* [[Iron Grip]]
* All of the [[AC]] perks, unless you really want an [[Armor Class]] specialist, but remember that [[AC]] only works when your character is running: [[Livewire]], [[Dodger]], [[Dodger+]], [[HtH Evade]]

==For Tanky Characters==
For treasure hunters and other [[PvE]] explorers, or even some [[PvP]] fighters:
* Level 3: [[Adrenaline Rush]] or [[Quick Recovery]]
* Level 6: [[Toughness]] or [[Quick Pockets]]
* Level 9: [[Even Tougher]]
* Level 12: [[Lifegiver]]
* Level 15: [[Lifegiver]] or [[Man of Steel]]
* Level 18: [[Bonus Rate of Fire]]
* Level 21: [[Action Boy]] or [[Bonus Ranged Damage]]
* Level 24: [[Stonewall]] or [[More Ranged Damage]]

==For Snipers==
For a proper sniper, you should decide which gun you'll mainly use, check the weapon's range, and plan your snipers [[Sight]] accordingly. At the bare minimum, this means being able to see at least as far as your gun shoots, but it is advised to have Sight 1 or 2 hexes beyond that. Remember to account for [[Drugs]] when planning builds with such precision. Typical perks might be:
* Level 3: [[More Critical]]
* Level 6: [[Even More Criticals]]
* Level 9: [[Sharpshooter]]
* Level 12: [[Better Criticals]]
* Level 15: [[Right Between the Eyes]]
* Level 18: [[Bonus Rate of Fire]]
* Level 21: [[Action Boy]] or [[Lifegiver]]
* Level 24: [[Action Boy]] or [[Hit the Gaps]]

==Other Fun Perks==
Not mentioned above are some perks for builds that can be fun, like Sneakers, Pyromaniacs, Turn-Based builds, Throwers, Rocketeers, etc. Some are:
* [[Heave Ho!]] and [[Heave Ho!!]]
* Both [[Pyromaniac]] perks
* [[In Your Face!]] and all of the HtH perks
* [[Silent Death]] and [[Silent Running]]

This guide won't cover everything - there are many thing you can experiment with later.
