'''Perks''' is a gameplay mechanic associated with the level up system of player's mercenaries. With each new character level reached by your mercenary he will gain 1 Perk point in addition to [[Attributes]] stats points.

There is a total of 7 Perk rows. To unlock the second perk row, you need to spend one perk point. To unlock the third row you need to spend two perk points. These points can be allocated in any of the unlocked perk rows. So, a player is somewhat forced to pick several perks in the early level up rows till all seven perk rows are unlocked. If a player decides to make some adjustment to perks already chosen, he can reset selected character's perks with a [[File:Potion_08.png|25px|bottom]] [[Potion of Oblivion]].

Upon reaching the veteran character level a regular mercenary brother will gain 10 perk points. An extra perk point can only be gained upon using a [[File:Jug_01.png|25px|bottom]] [[Mysterious Jug]].

Every player, who would like to broaden and deepen their knowledge of Perks, is recommended to read the [https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2001196860 '''In-Depth Perks Guide'''] by '''turtle225''' and '''Abel'''. It provides "an up to date guide that deep dives into each perk to help you make educated decisions when building your bros".

After you read about what each perk does, you can use the [http://tumult.cc/bb-calc.html '''Battle Brothers Perk Calculator'''] tool made by '''EveryCrime''' or the [http://www.bbplanner.xyz/ '''Battle Brothers Planner'''] tool made by '''Unislash'''. They let you visually calculate how you can spend your perk points on a character with a certain level or how you have to progress in order to achieve the perk combinations you want.
