How do perks work

[Mejays]

Hey! I'm fairly new to the game and am still kinda confused as to how the perk system works
for me to unlock the ability to obtain a perk on one character do i have to prestige the character whos perk I want? example if I want kate denesons perk for my claire do I need to prestige kate?

If you want Kate Denson's perk on Claire, you need to prestige Kate Denson.

Then the perk has a chance to show up on the bloodweb when you level up Claire's bloodweb.

There is also a shrine of secrets on the store where 4 random perks are available each week so you can get perks available for all characters without having to prestige someone.

Prestige levels 1, 2, and 3 unlock each level of the respective perks on all other characters in the same role. So ideally you would get all your characters to prestige 3 to unlock their perks for all current and future content.

Every character has 3 unique perks that become available on every character as soon as you prestige them once.

Once you prestige a character you unlock Tier 1 (Yellow) of that characters perks on all characters. You can then find Tier's 2 (Green) and 3 (Purple) in the Blood Web. However if you continue to prestige the same character a second or even a third time the Green and Purple versions of the perks respectively will immediately unlock for every character.

There are also generic perks like Lightweight or Resilience. Those perks do not belong to any character and are only unlocked by leveling up any character through the Blood Web.
