‘Friday the 13th: The Game’ Updating Perks System and Adding Legendary Perks
Gun Media just recently updated Friday the 13th: The Game to make Jason both scarier and deadlier, but their next update is all about surviving as a counselor.
More specifically, as detailed today on the forums, it’s about perks.
Direct from Gun Media…
The first thing we want to talk about is a slight reworking of the UI which is designed to help players who live with certain types of color blindness. Each perk, as well as the Perk Legend, will include a numerical value of 1 through 6 as a visual indicator of Perk rarity. 1 being for Poor Perks, while 6 will denote Legendary Perks.
Next up, let’s share some value changes that we are making to Perks.
Easy Listening – Radio proximity recharge rate boost:
- Old Value: 1-10%
- New Value: 10-40%
Motorboating – Boat movement speed increase
- Old Value: 1-15%
- New Value: 5-35%
Man at Arms – Weapon durability increase
- Old Value: 5-25%
- New Value: 5-15%
My Dads a Cop – Cop arrival time reduction
- Old Value: -5 – -30%
- New Value: -5 – -25%
Quiet Swimmer – Sense detection chance reduction
- Old Value: 1-25%
- New Value: 5-20%
Lead Foot – Car speed increase
- Old Value: 1-10%
- New Value: 5-20%
Aquanaut – Swimming speed increase
- Old Value: 1-15%
- New Value: 5-35%
Finally, we would like to introduce Legendary Perks. Legendary Perks have all the benefits of the Perks that you know and love, but they also include a Legendary Stat Bonus. A Legendary Stat Bonus is a small value increase to a predetermined stat.
For example: You could roll a Legendary Lead Foot Perk with +19 Car Driving Speed, -2 Boat Driving Speed, with a bonus of +4 Car Start Speed.
Or:
You could roll a Legendary Medic Perk with 2 Med Spray uses, an +8 Health Increase, +5 incoming attack damage, with a +3 to Repair Speed.
Moon Studios dropped a new trailer during the Sony State of Play for their dark action-RPG No Rest for the Wicked, while also hinting at the long-awaited launch window for the full 1.0 release. The game, which has been in Early Access on Steam since April 2024, will be launching this October in full for PlayStation 5 and PC via Steam, while versions for the Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch 2 will arrive at a later date.
As a token of appreciation for supporters new and old, Moon Studios is offering an exclusive Early Access Founder’s Pack, a free limited edition bundle available for anyone who purchases the game on Steam prior to July 10, with rewards unlocking when 1.0 officially launches. PlayStation 5 users can receive the Early Access Founder’s Pack by pre-ordering the game once available, any time before launch day.
The Founder’s Pack includes:
- A New Secret Hideout: Spirit Cavern – The legacy of Moon Studios now lives inside No Rest for the Wicked, exclusively for Founders. A hand-crafted home that bridges both worlds.
- Sayer’s Vow: An all new Sword in the stone reserved just for the founders that only early adopters can extract in the game world.
- A Custom Founders Tag ensures players are clearly identified as early adopters.
- As a Founder member, players will get access to an exclusive Public Beta Test Realm reserved just for them, even after the 1.0 game launch.
As for the full 1.0 release, it will be a massive expansion of the core experience, introducing a staggering 60+ hours of new content, a new horde mode, powerful new weapons, bosses and enemies, new areas and a completely reimagined class system.
In No Rest for the Wicked, players take on the role of a “Cerim,” a member of a holy order imbued with mysterious powers, tasked with destroying the Pestilence, an ancient plague that has begun to consume the island Isola Sacra, itself already the site of great political upheaval and death.
