In the grim world of Warhammer 40k, you play as a criminal, heretic, or miscreant conscripted by the Imperial Inquisition to fight and redeem yourself — or die trying. Fortunately, there is no shortage of weapons to help you achieve your goals. But Warhammer 40k: Darktide also offers plays a little of versatility with their instruments of destruction with the added passives of perks.
Weapons can have between zero and two perks. Perks are modifiers that enhance your weapons, making the waves of decaying denizens of Nurgle easier to handle. These perks can do all manner of things, including boosting your ranged damage, reload time, and damage against specific enemies.
Unfortunately, these perks are randomly generated. There’s no way to choose precisely what perk you want, making it difficult to get your ideal roll on your ideal weapon.
Here’s every possible perk you can find.

If you find that the perks on your gun of choice aren’t serving you, you can always refine your weapon perks. Once you’ve returned to Mourningstar, head over to Hadron at the Shrine of the Omnissiah. There, you can reroll one of the minor perks of your item. But don’t expect this reroll to come without costs. Whatever perk you choose to reroll is the only perk on that weapon you can reroll, locking all the other perks into place.
