Weapon & Trap Perks
There are three types of perks in Save the World. Weapon perks, Trap perks and Hero perks. Hero perks are covered in the hero section. Below you will find a list of all of the weapon & trap perks. As well as a few conversion calculators for some of the more confusing perks in the game that affect both heroes and weapons.
Perk Conversion Calculators
Currently we have two perk conversion calculators. Armor determines how much Damage Resistance you can achieve in the game. Critical Rating determines how much Critical Hit Chance Percentage you have in the game for various weapons. Both have some pretty harsh diminishing returns after reaching certain milestones.
Note: Diminishing returns are when the number you add stays the same but the level of return has lessened, sometimes quite dramatically. For example 30 Critical Rating gives you 28% Critical Hit Chance. 60 Critical Rating does NOT give you 56%, double the original value. Instead it gives you only 41%, 15% less than someone unknowingly might expect. Diminishing returns are not inherently bad but they can be. It all depends on the individual circumstances.
