History of Weapon perk

Weapon perks are the traits that modify how a Weapon performs. Each weapon has designated perk columns that adjust stats beyond its base stats (Shattered Vault).

Columns

• Optics/Barrel/Magazine: adjust range, scope, ammo capacity, handling and stability.
• Traits: two random perks with unique combat effects, such as Subsistence, Explosive Payload and Hatchling.
• Origin traits: innate buffs depending on source activity or manufacturer, on weapons from Season 16 onward; see Origin Trait.

Enhanced perks

Craftable weapons unlock enhanced versions of perks that improve the original's capabilities; they unlock last and cost more resources.
