Strategy
Deadshot is a powerful perk. It provides a sizeable increase in damage and effective magazine size for a minimal cost. It is especially useful on Miniguns, which can only be fired while aiming, and Scoped Weapons, which are significantly more effective than aiming. However, its benefits can be applied to any gun. Note that although these benefits are potent, the player should not always be aiming due to the reduced FoV and larger view model.
Piercing Shot is a middling perk. By the time the player gets it, the player has completed Floor 1. Enemies line up significantly less frequently on later Floors due to their lower enemy count. Additionally, this perk is detrimental when fighting groups of Mindless due to its ability to enrage them.
Ranger's Focus is a useful perk. 10 metres is fairly easy to be on either side of, meaning that the sizeable damage boost is pretty accessible.
Shatterpoint is a useful perk. Its large damage bonus particularly rewards good aim with Scoped Weapons. Its Stagger chance should not be relied on, as it appears to be fairly infrequent. It is less useful with automatic weapons, which tend to have worse accuracy, but weakpoint shots can still be reliably made with them in close range.
Quickscope is a useful perk. It gives a sizeable damage bonus with a slight mobility bonus.
