Perks in Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus Wolfenstein II Guide
Last update: 30 November 2017
Your hero has access to various passive perks that offer different bonuses - increased number of carried grenades, greater movement speed while crouching or ability to carry more ammo. Leveling up these perks was done in an interesting way - to increase their level you must complete an action connected to a particular ability.
