Perks is a community-created Arena map. It is set in a medieval town at night.

The map takes its name from its perks system: during the setup time of 30 seconds, the teams receive different sets of three randomly selected perks, which last until the end of the match. To vote, a player has to be near the desired perk when the setup timer reaches 0. The chosen perks are then displayed in a glass case before players are sent into the main portion of the map after 7 seconds. If no players in a team vote for a perk, the game randomly selects one for that team.

The perks are:

• Ammo Reserve: +50% clip size and ammo and metal regeneration.
• Bloodlust: on kill, grants 2 seconds of mini-crits.
• Cloaking: on round start, grants 15 seconds of invisibility (ends prematurely if they attack).
• Conversion: mini-crits become full crits.
• Extra Provisions: +40% health restored on all heals.
• Gravedigging: on death, summons a friendly skeleton.
• Haste: +10% movement speed.
• Haunting: on death, the killer is marked for death for 6 seconds.
• Honorable Combat: double melee damage.
• Precision: +50% projectile speed and reduced spread.
• Quickdraw: +15% faster firing, reloading, and weapon switching speed.
• Resistance: +10% damage resistance.
• Reveal: on kill, reveals the three closest enemies for 5 seconds.
• Second Chance: once per round, players can be revived by a Medic.
• Stronghold: once the point unlocks, +1 capture rate and +20% damage resistance.

Perks was contributed to the Steam Workshop.

Update history

October 9, 2023 Patch #1 (Scream Fortress XV)

• Added Perks to the game.

October 19, 2023 Patch

• Replaced the Cloaking perk with the Patience perk (gain up to 7 health/sec).
• Fixed missing barricades in the voting area.
• Fixed certain items having missing textures on the map.
• Removed crumpkins (with help from LizardOfOz).
• Fixed stalemates causing extra rounds where no perks would appear.

Bugs

• As a Heavy, if the Conversion perk is chosen, consuming the Buffalo Steak Sandvich whilst having the Holiday Punch equipped causes the converted crits to deal critical damage instead of forcing the victim to laugh. However, non-converted crits still force the victim to laugh.
• Using the Eureka Effect to teleport to the base after the round has started kills the player.
