Rolling Perks

Rolling perks in Friday the 13th: The Game is a very straightforward process. From the customization screen for counselors just click on the perks section and navigate to ‘Roll Perk’. It will cost 500 CP every time you want to roll a counselor perk. CP is earned naturally when playing the game. Upon rolling a perk you will be presented with an animated screen showing what perk was rolled, the positive effect and amount, and the negative effect and amount. Perks come in Poor, Common, Uncommon, Rare and Epic qualities. Higher quality perks provide greater positive effects and lower negative effects.

Rolling perks is a very random process and almost every attempt will result in something different. When you receive a perk you wish to use simply head to the counselor customization screen and equip it. You can have the same perk equipped on as many counselors as you like so there is no need for duplicate perks.
