Overview

After selecting a Hunter or Monster and choosing the Monster abilities, a Perk is selected amongst the nine choices for each side. Your choice of Perk often comes down to your play style, but specific characters and game modes match up well with certain ones.

Perks are unlocked as a player advances through level progression. Each level opens up another Perk. The max level in Evolve is 40. Hunters begin the game with Tier 3 Jump Height, and Monsters get Tier 3 Climb Speed. Damage Bonus, Damage Resistance, and Movement Speed are shared between the Hunters and Monsters. The rest are unique to each side.

There are nine total Perks for each side. Taking away the two original Perks and counting the shared ones only once gives you 13 that require unlocking. Each one has three tiers; therefore, they must be unlocked three times. This means that 39 Perks get unlocked, which results in the max level of 40.
