  • Inspirational - Players on your team gain XP boosts - Level 2
  • Bodyguards - Gain damage and energy resistance for each member of your party - Level 5
  • Magnetic Personality - Gain Charisma for each member of your party - Level 13
  • Team Medic - Stimpacks also heal nearby teammates - Level 20
  • Anti-Epidemic - Curing your diseases also cures nearby teammates - Level 34

Sorry solo players, there's really only one Perk Card that gives you a benefit for playing without a group. The good thing with this is, you can shift focus away from the Perk Cards mentioned above! Anyway, here's the one for you, which is also a Charisma Perk Card:

  • Lone Wanderer - take less damage and gain AP quicker when playing solo - Level 4
