Perks

Perks are equip-able items in The Pyre Games. There are currently 16 perks in the game, each with their own unique effect. Players can equip up to 4 perks at once, and are limited by the amount of levels they have accumulated.

General
Perks are gained by purchasing them with gold, through the shop. Perks are only active and usable in the games they are available to purchase in, The Pyre Games and The Pyre Games: Awakening. They are equipped in the inventory menu.

Only one perk slot is available to players who have joined the game for the first time. Additional perk slots may be gained as the player progresses, up to 4 slots. Additional Perk slots are unlocked at Level 5, 10 and 15.

Perks come in 3 tiers,  Tier 1,  Tier 2 and  Tier 3. For most perks, the effect becomes stronger through each tier earned, though there are exceptions. Each perk can be purchased in the shop until it has reached Tier 3, after which it is maxed out and does not require additional purchases.

During a match, Perks are displayed alongside the Inventory, Settings, Status and Crafting (Classic only) buttons. Perks, by default, have two states: Active and Inactive. Most perks remain active while the player is alive, but some may change in their status during the match. For example:
 * Perseverance defaults to inactive except when a player is below 50% of their maximum health.
 * Last Stand deactivates for the rest of the match after being used.
 * Unyielding Strike disables for 60 seconds after use.

Deactivated perks can be identified by their icon being darkened, while active perks have bright icons.

Trivia

 * If equipped and active at the same time, Adrenaline and Perseverance will stack to make Stamina recover at 100% of the normal rate while running.
 * In Classic, if Alert is equipped and the finale has begun, the player will be able to see all other players' auras while outside the Pyre radius.
 * Up until the 05/19/2021 update or "One Year Anniversary" update, Healer's Hand increased healing speed to near-instant with an Advanced Aid medkit.
