Class perks
Class perks are FOnline 3's unique take on character classes.
Any given character can only have one class perk, but three of the classes (Alien, Cyborg, and Robot) have flexibility in the role they fulfil.
With the exception of the three "flex" classes, all class perks assign the character that picked them a specific role.
There are six roles available: tank, semi-tank, utility, DPS, sniper, and sneaker.
Each of the six roles gives you a different baseline, influencing the number of action points you start with, your initial health pool, how much damage you output, and more; see the table below for details.

Class roles
- Tanks survive to support the team, whether through buffs (Leader), healing (Priest), or simply being a huge bullet sponge holding the front line (Super Mutant). They have great defensive capabilities but their damage is significantly reduced and they constantly find themselves out of action points.
- Semi-tanks are versatile front-line fighters with both a significant health pool and decent damage. They all have a unique ace up their sleeve, be it a couple extra perks (Chosen One), sheer luck (Randomboy), or an evil twin (Clone).
- Utility classes focus on taking full advantage of their unique ability to take a specific combat mechanic to a level unachievable by any other class; they may have access to nearly limitless action points (Raider), superpowered traits (Regulator), or the ability to rapidly close distance with their opponent (Combat Master).
- DPS classes have one purpose: providing a high sustained damage output. They start with a high damage multiplier (1.1x) and gain deadly abilities, such as doubled lethal damage (Wrecker) or improved item perks (Hubologist), at the cost of their already limited defensive capabilities.
- Snipers are the glass cannons of FOnline 3, deadly at long range but completely helpless otherwise. Their unique abilities, such as heavy sniper rifles never missing (Sniper) or significantly increased critical power (Robobrain) are focused on long-range combat and nothing else.
- Sneakers are fragile but lethal ambush predators. They may be able to attack without de-sneaking (Assassin) or deal massive additional damage to characters low on health (Scout) but stand little chance in open combat.
Class perks
Class perk selection defines your character's core identity and their place in the six-role system.
Each class perk grants a unique set of abilities, limitations, bonuses, and penalties that fundamentally change your gameplay experience.
As of Patch 6.4.1, twenty-three unique class perks are available.
Alien

Deathclaw
|
Deathclaws receive a wide range of melee-focused bonuses:
Deathclaws don't wear body armor. They get their resistances from Natural Armor, which scales with their stats and the tier of the helmet they wear. If the helmet is tier 1, base Natural Armor values get multiplied by 33%; if it's tier 2: 66%; tier 3: 100%; tier 4: 115%; tier 5: 125%; tier 6: 133%.
Deathclaws gain access to armor perks based on the tier and specific perks of their weapon. The number of armor perks that a Deathclaw can have is equal to the tier of their weapon. For example, a T3 weapon will give you 3 armor perks. The specific armor perks that get unlocked depend on what perks your weapon has, see the table below for details. Note: Heavy Handed protection effects, such as those granted by Thwart Block, Mutie, or Jinxed will counter Slow Aura. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
