Perception

Perception is the measure of your sensory awareness. Increasing Perception raises the headshot bonus and dismemberment chance with spears, rifles, explosive weapons and tools.

The Survivor starts with Level One of this perk, giving 200% headshot damage to spears, rifles and explosive weapons. Levels 2-8 increase headshot damage by 10% and chance to dismember by 5%. Levels 9 and 10 increase headshot damage by 15% and dismember chance by 5%. It's split into three subcategories with various perks related to weapons, general perception and scavenging.
