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 (Random Boy), 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.

- +50 to the Crafting skill cap.
- When using the Learning skill to boost Crafting, the increased cap is filled immediately
without requiring additional skill points (e.g., 250/250 goes to 260/260 rather than 250/260).
- 66% chance to apply a critical effect (such as crippling) on a critical hit, instead of the standard 33%.
- Ability to craft and use Alien-exclusive weapons. Regular weapons can also be crafted by Aliens, they just can't use them.

- +16 Stealth when the battle timer is active.
Note: The extra critical chance equal to the distance to your target (in hexes) from Assassin's favorite weapon bonus can push your critical chance above 100% and is not reduced by the target's critical chance resistance.

| Bounty Power Calculation
|
|
Bounty power determines how many bounty stacks Bounty Hunter applies per hit. It is calculated as follows:
Step 1: Add up the ranks of your Weapon Perks, keeping in mind that rank F = 1, rank E = 2, rank D = 3, rank C = 4, rank B = 5, rank A = 6, rank S = 7, rank S+ = 8, then find your result's corresponding value in the bounty power bonus column of the table below.

Step 3: Apply miscellaneous bonuses and penalties.
- +1 if your weapon's tier is above 3.
- +1 if your attack's damage is above 350.
Step 4: Apply the lower cap (0) and the upper cap (7).
Step 5: You now know your bounty power! Use the table below to find out how many bounty stacks it will allow you to apply to your target.

- Bounty Hunter is a PvP-focused DPS class with a powerful debuffing ability.
- For base stats, see the above table.
Being a Bounty Hunter has many benefits.
- Critical roll bonuses scaling with your and your target's combined base crit chance (bonuses from weapons and perks do not apply).
- +1% critical power for each 10 points of sight range.
- +0.5 sight range per point of critical chance.
- Automatically marking targets for 4 seconds.
- Access to the unique "bounty stacking" mechanic.
- Bounty Hunter applies "bounty" stacks on hit that reduce the target's damage by 1% per stack.
- Bounty stacks can only be applied to players.
- Bounty Power determines the number of bounty stacks per hit; the cap on stacks from bounty power is 8.
- Strike applies 10 additional Bounty stacks to the target.
- Bounty Hunters can see everyone's bounty stacks.
- Bounty stacks trigger additional effects at certain thresholds: at 33 stacks, the usual rule that all incoming damage in PvP must be halved if it's above 350, and then halved again if it's still above 300, no longer applies to Bounty Hunter's damage; at 66 stacks, Bounty Hunter ignores the target's crit chance/power resistance; at 100 stacks, the target's current hit points are set to -100.
- In War Events and New Reno Wars, killing players with bounty stacks rewards Bounty Hunters with a currency bonus of 10% for each of the target's bounty stacks.
- Bounty Hunter's bounty power is reduced by 1 if they have the Quick Fingers Perk Synergy.

- Clone is a semi‑tank with the ability to summon an AI‑controlled doppelganger.
- For base stats, see the above table.
The clone-summoning ability works as follows:
- You spawn your clone using the command
~clone.
- Cloning has a base cooldown of 9 minutes; each point of Speech reduces it by 1s, but it can never go below 15s, which requires the Good Natured trait and Speech = 500.
- Your cloned companion's stats and gear mirror your own, with some exceptions.
- PvE perks (such as Mini Toughness and Quick Dodger) protect you but do not affect the clone.
- The clone cannot use grenades, or any other stackable weapons.
- The clone does not consume ammunition.
- The clone cannot carry additional gear.
- Both the player and the clone are immune to knockouts, knockbacks, knockdowns, and the Heavy Handed effect.
- If your clone is alive when you are killed by another player, you are instantly revived, effectively killing the clone to take its place.
- You deal 50% more damage when your clone is dead.
- The clone provides vision in a 15-hex radius even when dead.
- The clone’s stats get adjusted based on how the target is marked:
- Red (aggressive): +50% damage, -20% DR
- Purple (defensive): -50% damage, +20% DR
- Blue/unmarked: No changes
- When directing the clone with alt‑click commands the neutral "Command Move" is recommended to avoid aggroing non-hostile NPCs.

- Combat Master is a melee-focused utility class with exceptional mobility.
- For base stats, see the above table.
Combat Master has many advantages in close combat:
- +30 melee damage.
- +125% melee critical chance.
- Using the 2-handed weapon critical table when wielding melee weapons, resulting in significantly better criticals.
- Strike instantly moving you next to the target and allowing you to ignore their melee protection for 10 seconds. This "engagement jump" has a range of 20 hexes unless you're using a hammer in which case the range is increased to 40 hexes
- 90% shorter battle timer after being hit. This doesn't affect the battle timer when you are doing the hitting.

- Cyborg is a flex class focused on taking full advantage of implants.
- For base stats, see the above table.
- As a Cyborg, your role is determined by the combination of combat implants you have installed. Each one grants points towards one or more roles, see the table to the right for a complete breakdown. You assume the role that has the most points once all of your desired combat implants are in place. If two or more roles are tied for highest, you are assigned the third; for example, if Tank = DPS > Sniper, you become a Sniper. If there's a three-way tie, your baseline (no implants) role as a utility class remains unchanged. Your class designation displayed on mouse hover changes based on your role: if you're a tank, you're "Cyborg MKII;" if you're DPS, you're "Terminator;" if you're a Sniper, you're "C-54." Otherwise, you're just a "Prototype."
- Being half-man, half-machine fundamentally changes several aspects of gameplay:
- Your base implant installation limit is set to 12 SPECIAL implants and 12 combat implants. You Charisma does not interact with this limit in any way.
- Three copies of the same combat implant can be installed to trigger a powerful tier 3 bonus, see the Implants article for details.
- Implants can be freely (un)installed at any time using the
~cmd menu which also lets you recycle implants for cyborg points that can be spent to craft EMP Shield once you have 1000.
- You become immune to bleeding but vulnerable to EMP damage.
- First Aid no longer works but you can heal yourself using the Repair skill with a tool; Mr. Fixit is your version of Healer. Drugs, including stimpaks, work normally. To fix broken limbs, you can use
~cmd with a Science-based cooldown (none at 200), or use Science on yourself with a screwdriver equipped (120s cooldown). Others can use Repair and Science on you without any tools.
Important note: Don't install implants via a doctor NPC as Cyborg or you will get no free installation tokens when you next reroll.

- Deathclaw is a melee tank with complex SPECIAL scaling.
- For base stats, see the above table.
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.
| Weapon perk to armor perk mapping
|
|
|
Note: Heavy Handed protection effects, such as those granted by Thwart Block, Mutie, or Jinxed will counter Slow Aura.
Note: Deathclaw is able to scale off of bonuses it got as a result of other scaling; for example, normal DR scaling with crit chance will benefit from crit chance received via SPECIAL scaling.

- Infantry is a tank class able to gain complete immunity to one chosen damage type.
- For base stats, see the above table.
Enlisting as an infantryman comes with several benefits:
- +5% to all DR caps
- +7% to all DRs
- +30% character size
- Your Strikes ignore the target’s damage protection.
- Using the
~infantry command allows you to select one damage type that you will become immune to for one minute. Being "immune" to a damage type means that all incoming damage of that type will be reduced to 0. You cannot choose the same damage type twice in a row. Every time your immunity absorbs damage from an attack, its remaining duration goes down by 15 seconds. Damage immunity does not protect you from status effects.
Note: In practical terms, Infantry's favorite weapon bonus adds (4% + 4% x Distance) to Shotguns' regular damage multiplier.

- For base stats, see the above table.
Choosing the Killer life grants several powerful advantages:
- +5% Lethality (your attacks automatically kill any target at or below 5% of their max HP)
- Whenever you kill a player, you become immune to all damage for 3s and fully recover your health and action points.
- Strike applies 6 stacks of Confusion and Fury to the target.
- +25 AP Regen while the battle timer is active
- +15% Lifesteal
Note: Installing two Tactical Module implants reduces Killer's replication cooldown from 300 to 225 seconds.

- Leader is a tank class that provides powerful party‑wide buffs.
- For base stats, see the above table.
Leadership gives you several advantages:
- +50 Party Points.
- +40% Critical Chance Resistance.
- +4% Movement Speed bonus for each faction member in the same location.
- Ability to plant flags that buff your team:
- Flags apply a buff based on the Leader's Charisma to all teammates within their range.
- To select the desired buff, your teammates can use the
~leader command or left-click one of your flags.
- Setting up a flag requires Wood and has a 60-second cooldown.
- Leader flag bonuses stack with those from non-Leader flags (WE, TC), but flag bonuses from multiple Leaders do not stack with one another.
| Full list of Leader-specific flag buff effects
|
|
Note: One character can only select a single set of bonuses; for example, if you select "Vitality" and then also select "Unity," the second choice will override the first. The exact magnitude of the bonuses depends on the Charisma of the flag's creator. For example, if you selected the "Vitality" buff, and the Leader's Charisma = 20, staying within their flag's range will give you +40 hit points (20 x 2 = 40), +20 healing rate (20 / 1 = 20), +5 Endurance and 5 seconds faster Healing Rate tickrate (20 / 4 = 5), and immunity to bleeding.

- Paramedic is a tank class focused on healing, with the ability to revive dead players.
- For base stats, see the above table.
Being trained as a Paramedic has the following results:
- +100 Armor Class, -10 to attackers' AC mod, and 10% character size reduction.
- +50% First Aid and Doctor; both skills have their cooldowns set to 3 seconds; Doctor has no cooldown on removing the Slow effect.
- Ability to revive dead players:
- Base cooldown is 600 seconds; each point of Intelligence ≤ 25 reduces it by 5 seconds; points beyond 25 only reduce the cooldown by 1s.
- The Medic level perk reduces the cooldown to 300 seconds, and increases the reduction from Intelligence ≤ 25 to 10 seconds.
- The cooldown is applied to the target; players who are on cooldown and cannot be revived have a "+" in front of their overhead hit point display.
- Paramedic becomes immune to damage for 1 second after reviving someone; revived characters are immune for 8 seconds.
- Access to a special buff that grants +0.5% damage protection to your patients per stack; buff stacks received scale with your weapon's total perk ranks:
- 0-17: +1-3 stacks from FA/Doc, +10 after being revived;
- 18-33: +2-7 stacks from FA/Doc, +15 after being revived;
- 34-49: +3-10 stacks from FA/Doc, +20 after being revived;
- 50+: +4-15 stacks from FA/Doc, +25 after being revived.
- Your weapon perks' ranks have the following values for the purpose of this calculation: rank F = 1, E = 2, D = 3, C = 4, B = 5, A = 6, S = 7, S+ = 8.
- Characters with over 30 stacks of Paramedic's buff receive +100% healing from every source. A character cannot have more than 50 stacks.
- The stacks gradually expire while you're out of combat at the approximate rate of 1 stack every 5 seconds.

Becoming a Robot transforms your character in several ways:
- Your EMP resistance and level perks are lost.
- You choose 8 new level perks: five base perks that work normally, and 3 temporary perks that ignore their SPECIAL requirements and can be changed freely whenever you transform.
- You have an option of replacing one temporary perk with an S+ weapon perk.
- You cannot use your own weapons. Instead, you equip body armor and get a weapon that matches its tier. If there's ever a tier mismatch between the two, your weapon systems are disabled.
- Robot's weapon systems gain weapon experience a bit differently from normal weapons:
- The initial amount of Robot's current transformation's weapon XP is governed by a Robot-exclusive resource called "fuel."
- Fuel is obtained by melting weapons via the
~cmd menu which converts their experience into an equal amount of fuel.
- Transforming consumes
2.5% x Perception of your total fuel.
- On transformation, your new weapon starts with experience equal to your current fuel.
- Adding more fuel does not affect your current weapon; it only increases the starting experience of your next weapon.
- Your weapon can gain additional weapon experience normally (by killing NPCs or via Upgrade Parts), but this extra experience will be lost during your next transformation.
- Dying causes you to lose
40% - INT% of your current fuel; the amount can't be reduced below 1%.
- In War Events, there is no fuel penalty for dying and additional fuel can be earned by killing NPCs or purchased directly from the spawn point vendor.
