Best perks to get?

[kaMMakaZZi9]

Got 200% hearing first, then the 120% health. Unsure what to get next but thinking health or hearing again.

Weapon sway.

I always get tier 1 of Shiv upgrade first so they get more than one use. Then health upgrade tier 1 and then weapon sway tier 1

Don't forget your shivs

[kaMMakaZZi9]

My shivs have 2 charges and I never updated anything related to them… how?

I killed 4 clickers with 2 shivs in the graveyard area in bills town section.

Upgrading your shiv (Shiv Master) only makes you survive a Clicker grab attempt, it doesn't increase durability. What increases durability and charges are the field manuals.

[kaMMakaZZi9]

Is Shiv master even worth it? I hardly get grabbed by them, and sometimes I just realize there was a better way to sneak/deal with them anyway.

[Protoman]

It's not worth it. If you get grabbed by a Clicker you have bigger problems and a Shiv isn't going to solve it.
(You should never get grabbed)

Edit: kind of a rant, but I believe perks were only added late in development, because most of them don't synergize well with alternative playstyles (=stealth), and you can basically plow through the game on Standard with no perks. Also, most of them only become more and more useless in higher difficulties, until they disappear completely (sound perk on Grounded difficulty).

I used the hearing for like maybe 10 secs in the whole game, if you don't run around like an idiot, you don't really need that.

Health Increase and Weapon Sway Reduction all the way.

You can't upgrade everything to the max in one play through. When done, start New Game+ and select the option to keep upgraded weapons.

[WeirdScienceX]

Weapon sway is the first I always get, it makes a big difference. Shiv master I never bother with, I would much rather use an upgraded bow, avoiding getting grabbed is simple.

[kaMMakaZZi9]

Weapon sway maxed or x1?

[Eltia]

Weapon sway to help with stealth and to save ammo.

How does weapon sway help with stealth?

Easier to headshot with the bow.
