Strategy
Locked and Loaded is an exceptionally powerful perk. It provides a free damage bonus, and drastically reduces the need to reload. As long as the player has useful weapons in both their primary and secondary slots, even if they have drastically different effective ranges. Note that switching weapons to get a kill and reload is occasionally inferior to reloading normally, especially if the player has reload speed bonuses or is using two weapons with drastically different effective ranges.
Ascending Strategy is a useful perk. Its damage bonus once an enemy is killed is significant. However, more methodical playstyles benefit less from it due to the requirement of chaining kills for the bulk of its damage bonus.
Harmonic Striker is a dubious perk. Although it provides a number of useful benefits, melees and grenades are relatively ineffective on higher difficulties. However, lower difficulties benefit greatly from it, especially with additional grenade and melee bonuses.
Mag Link is an exceptionally powerful perk. With proper play, it can completely remove the need to reload when paired with the base Locked and Loaded. Remember that the player can switch weapons back and forth before engaging an enemy to receive this benefit without waiting for the weapon switch animation.
FOURTH PERK NAME is a useful perk. It provides an overall sizeable damage output increase upon switching weapons, especially when paired with an Electric build to take advantage of the improved critical hits. As with Mag Link, remember that the player can switch weapons before engaging enemies to receive the bonus effectively for free.
