Perks play a vital role in enhancing your performance in Sker Ritual by providing valuable stat boosts and effects. While it's possible to navigate the game without perks, having one or two can significantly improve your gameplay.
If you're new to the game, you might initially find Sker Ritual's perks less impactful compared to those in other popular titles like COD Zombies. This is because perk strength evolves as you progress through the game. The more matches you play, the more potent your perks become.
Maximizing Perks in Sker Ritual
To enhance the effectiveness of your perks, you need to upgrade them before or after starting a match. Navigate to the Customise tab from the main menu and select Perk Upgrades. Here, you can view all available perks and their current levels. Utilize Blodwin Vitrol Samples to boost the effectiveness of your selected perks.
Blodwin Vitrol Samples are earned by participating in matches, completing objectives, and surviving as long as possible. Completing maps like Sker Ritual's Cursed Lands of Lavernock may yield additional samples per run. At the end of each match, you'll receive a summary of your rewards, which may include the samples required for perk upgrades.
Exploring Sker Ritual's Perks
Sker Ritual features five distinct perks, each available at predefined locations on the maps as vending machines mounted on walls. Upon purchase, your character injects themselves with a serum that enhances specific stats, akin to Bioshock's Plasmids. Here are the perks and their effects:
- Elixir of Life: Boosts maximum health by 33-100%.
- Shock 'N Load: Causes a burst of electricity upon reloading, dealing 20-70% of your weapon's damage.
- Stallion Juice: Increases movement speed by 5-15%.
- Swift Death: Enhances weapon fire rate by 8-33%.
- Fast Hands: Improves weapon reload speed by 10-30%.
These percentages represent the perks' effectiveness at ranks 1 and 5. Progressing a perk to its maximum level requires time and dedication. Sker Ritual also offers a free battle pass system, the Sker Pass, providing various cosmetics like masks and voice lines to enrich your gameplay experience.
