Perks
The gene tree/perk tree enables users to upgrade their capabilities at the cost of perk points. Players have a perk point for every level (Ascension Rank, not to be confused with METEM Favor Level), starting with 1 point at level 0 and ending with 31 points at level 30. Each active ability has a cooldown of 120 seconds, except for grappling hook.
To make use of perk points, players should head to the Personal Loadout Terminal located within the Metem Command Hub. This terminal allows players to invest their points into a class ability and across four distinct skill trees. Certain perks require a level of investment in the class tree before they can be accessed.
The four available skill trees in Void Crew represent the game's primary role archetypes:
