Increases Damage, Reduces Recoil & Reload Times
The perks under the Assault category mainly increase weapon damage while reducing recoil and reload times. Eagle Eye is a perk that you can take if you have extra perk points, but is a must if you mainly use rifles and SMGs.
Best Spend Perk Points Elsewhere
Assault Rifles and Submachine Guns are great weapons during the early phases of the game. However, if you compare the bonuses and benefits from other perks, Assault Perks are a bit lacking. Get these perks only if you plan on using SMGs and ARs for the whole course of the game.
Best Handguns Perks
| Perk Name | Effect |
|---|---|
| Desperado | Passive Increases damage with Pistols and Revolvers by 3% |
| Gunslinger | Passive Reduces reload time for Pistols and Revolvers by 10% |
| Steady Hand | Passive Reduces Pistol and Revolver recoil by 30% |
| Rio Bravo | Passive Increases headshot damage multiplier with Pistols and Revolvers by 10% |
Increases Damage & Reduces Reload Times
With increased damage and fast reload times, single-shot weapons like pistols and revolvers become more effective. Add in the reduced recoil and you'll find yourself taking down foes in no time.
Pistols & Revolvers Are Great Weapons
Compared to ARs and SMGs, pistols and revolvers are easier to use and consume less ammo. They also deal better damage and are easily available in the game world. If you don't have any particular weapon you want to specialize in, best try out this perk tree.

Mainly Buffs The User
Alongside increasing your damage, the Blades Perk Tree also adds buffs like bleeding effects and increased armor. Blades themselves already have an innately high damage, so getting these effects are recommended.
Upgrade Once You Get A Strong Blade
You can get exceptional Blade weapons during the second half of the game. Once you get one, getting perks under this tree is a must as you can use it to deal with melee threats. Compared to ranged weapons, melee weapons have a very high attack speed, and you can use that damage output to take down heavier foes.
