Perk points have a limit

Are you limited to perk points because none of my squads are getting anymore, playing rank 2 Americans. Do you have to upgrade to a tier 2 or 3 soldier to get full perks.

each soldiers have stars

let’s take the basic rifleman.

The base stats of a rifleman, are 3/3/3. but your soldier can get random starting stats from -1 to +1 (2/2/2 which are worst possible up to 4/4/4 which are perfect stats)
Then, you add the class bonus points, for the basic rifleman, it’s +1 to all. which makes a perfect stats one star rifleman effectively 5/5/5.

A perfect stats basic rifleman. Note the lil stars beside the 5

A really poor stats rifleman. canon fodder, really. he got -2 to his stats (worst is -3)

Now the important part.

every star level, will give your soldiers 2 points to every category (“boots, heart and fist”)
BUT the last, fifth star gives 6 points.

So a perfect stats soldiers who had 5/5/5, will in the end have 17/17/17

(5+2=7 7+2=9 9+2=11 then 11+6=17)

A soldier having 17/17/17 can choose the top dog perks costing 16 points. (note, you must waste a precious 6 points in tier 1 perks to access tier 2 and 3 perks first…)

Once you understand all this, know that there’s also soldiers tiers. you feel tier 1 doesnt give you enough perk points? That’s when higher tier soldiers come in. all their points are calculated the same way. they just have a higher bonus point total from their class.

Here’s a perfect tier 3 maxed rifleman. he’s at 19/19/19. He can waste 6 points in starter perks AND STILL choose all 3 16 points top dog perks if he so desire.

You’re welcome!

Ppl usually bicker a lot on the forums about factions balance and other stuff, but when someone needs help it’s always the good place to ask.

You need to unlock red upgrades in squad that’s related to the soldier’s class.

You need to do it everytime you get a better tier of soldier.
