how do perk decks work?

[lemons4sail]

I don't get how to earn more perk decks.

you earn perk points via completed heists. You spent said perk points to "buy" tiers within a perk deck. Each tier is exponentially more expensive than the next, but voila you can get them all with time!

You pick one and gain XP by completing heists. Then return to it and level up your selected deck.

Listen up, I'm only going to do this once.

1. Play a heist.
   
2. Complete heist.
   
3. Go to Skills page.
   
4. Select Perk Decks
   
5. Earn Perk Points
   
6. Spend to heart's desire. Or Armourer. Seriously.
   
7. ????
   
8. Profit!!!

They are pretty much the same as skilltrees, just horizontal rather than vertical.
I have no idea why so many people have issues with them...

You can level up any deck with your gained xp points, but you can only have one deck active.

Whenever you gain XP, go to the Perks menu. It'll convert any XP you gained since the last time into Perk Points. You then spend these on the cards in one at a time. Once you put enough points into a card, it unlocks and you can put points into the next one in that deck.

You can only equip one Perk deck at a time, so focus on the one that best suits your build and then branch out from there.

Complete heists. Exp is converted to perk points.
Spend those perk points in any perk deck of your choice.
You can only equip one deck at a time, and you get all the bonuses unlocked within the equipped deck.
You can't get points put in a deck back to put them in another, you'll just have to earn more points.
Going infamous doesn't affect your decks and your perk points.

Anything else?

My beef with them is that they are broken somewhat (walk-in closet for example is utterly broken with the crook deck and the 135% overrides fully loaded aced with all the decks, boning enforcers).

They also remove the value of infamy tier skill reductions somewhat as you don't have tier bonus skills anymore as well as hybrid builds of olden years.

But I do admit the decks HAVE grown on me, some of the decks are hilarious fun (hitman specifically).

Nope, my current build wouldn't work without my III-100 level. And now you don't have to waste skill points just for that stupid headshot bonus.

note: the "somewhat". Remember the use of "somewhat"

Plenty of bugs with skills too (Swan song for example I hear much about)... ;)

I have a perk deck question:

When you complete a deck and get that rare 10% bonus will the probability of getting weapon mods decrease??? PLS SAY YES

Praying for a patch when they remove the Halloween event.

Or the description will now say "You can fight for 3 seconds except when getting fall damage, grenade damage, tear gas damage, titandozer damage, and possibly more".

And another negative YipYap post... why the negativity?
