Tips To Unlocking Perks

Cardio Fan - Unlock Tips

Unlocking May Take Longer Than Expected

Keep in mind that unlocking this perk might take some time, as the amount of stamina you need to expend seems to be quite high. Keep using your stamina to eventually unlock the perk - most people seem to get it via running around the map.

Reliable Friend - Unlock Tips

Connect With A Friend Online

Connect With A Friend Online

It's recommended to connect with a friend online to easily unlock this Perk! Take turns beating up and reviving each other. Five revives will unlock the first level of this perk, while the second level unlocks at fifteen revives!

Lil Fist - Unlock Tips

One way to easily unlock both the Lil Fist and Sharpshooter mutations are to follow a specific looping path that will pit you against groups of enemies. Defeating these enemies can quickly help you unlock both mutations!

Best Path To Follow

Patrol Path

The image above shows the recommended path to follow in order to quickly unlock the Lil Fist Perk!

Prioritize Fighting These Insects

  • Mite
  • Aphid
  • Weevil
  • Spiderling
  • Worker Ant

The enemies listed above are relatively easy to kill with your fists, making them easy targets to help you unlock the perk. With the exception of Mites, all these enemies will appear randomly. Make sure to avoid enemies not on the list, as they're simply too strong.

Sharpshooter - Unlock Tips

Just like the Lil Fist perk, you will be able to easily unlock this perk by following the following patrol path and taking out weak enemies with your bow.

Best Path To Follow

Patrol Path

The image above shows the recommended path to follow in order to quickly unlock the Sharpshooter Perk!

Prioritize Fighting These Insects

  • Mite
  • Weevil
  • Spiderling
  • Worker Ant

As the bow can be rather frustrating to use due to its poor accuracy, following the path above and targeting weaker insects will make it easier for you to unlock this perk! Don't waste your time hunting Aphids with the bow, as they run away too fast. Focus on enemies that approach you or move slowly!
