Atomic Picnic – Perks Ranked Guide

Guide to Perks Ranking

Must Have

Untamed Whistle

• Liberates the hidden potential of your Weapon (Lv1: Damage & Fire Rate / Lv2 Damage +15%)

Tied with Secretary’s Glasses for #1: You will want this perk alongside Secretary’s Glasses.

Secretary’s Glasses

• Increases the efficiency of your Weapon (Lv1: +Magazine Size and +Fire Rate / Lv2: Fire Rate +10%)

Tied with Untamed Whistle for #1: You will want this perk alongside Untamed Whistle.

Lover’s Nails

• Adds piercing to your shots (+1 Pierce)

This is something you will want if you are using Assault Rifle or Shotgun. Avoid it if you are using Grenade Launcher as it is useless on this weapon.

Blood Bag

• Small chance to Recover Health when you defeat an enemy

This perk will help keep you alive, even during boss fights.

Good to Have

Alarm

• Adds a chance to deal Critical Damage with each hit

This is the best to have in this tier as the damage added when it procs is pretty good.

Slugger

• Chance to fire a powerful secondary bullet

This can up your base DPS a little bit.

Mr. Pinball

• Bullets have a chance to Ricocheting to nearby enemies on hit

Same thing as Slugger. More DPS.

Pick If You Have No Other Good Choices

Battleground’s Pan

• Increases damage the longer you hold fire (Lv2: Max Damage +15%)

Holding fire isn’t something you want to do too often unless you have mobs massed up. The damage gained from this is small and not worth the perk.

Gomu Gum

• Bullets have a chance to explode on hit

Doesn’t do a whole lot but it is extra damage to masses. Low proc chance.

Archer’s Keychain

• Chance to shoot volley of bullets towards nearby enemies (Lv:2 Proc Chance +1% / Range +5)

This doesn’t do a lot and has a low proc chance.

Teddy Bear

• Creates an aura sphere around you that deals damage to enemies within the aura

This is a decent passive perk that all around damages enemies as well as Gem Nodes. Can be a useful utility perk.

Walkypod

• Creates a Damaging Sound Wave around you when you Quick Reload

Quick Reloading isn’t reliable in tense situations and you will want as much distance between you and the enemy in this game.

Lightning In A Bottle

• Shock enemies when you Quick Reload

This doesn’t shock a lot of enemies around you. Hit or miss.

Tennis Ball

• Faster Bullets with ability to Bounce

Bullets being faster or having the ability to bounce isn’t needed nor useful.

Whey

• Increases Damage while at Max Health

This is going to be more of a skill gap thing but you aren’t going to be at max health all to often in this game.

Avoid These

Savior’s Mask

• Increases Damage while at Low Health

The last thing you will want to be in this game is low on health. Avoid this.

Trul’s Tag

• Changes weapon fire mode to work like a Minigun (Lv2: Charge Time -20%)

There are no positives to this perk as far as I can see. It’s just a hinderance and should be avoided at all costs.
