This Guide is still WIP but is meant as a collection of the Bonus Perks that can appear in the game. If you encounter more Perks, feel free to share and i will add them.


Normal crewmates will never get a perk. Rare crewmates have a 20% chance to get 1 perk and will never get a second. Ultra Rare crewmates have a 50% chance of 1 perk, and an extra 10% for a second. Legendaries always have their 1st perk, but a 50% chance of getting a second.

If you have a mission to rescue a legendary survivor. You can do that Mission over and over again until you are happy with the given Bonus Perk.

1. Head over to C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\LocalLow\Runner Duck\BadlandsCrew
   and copy the files named Campaign_YOURsaveslotnumber into a separate folder.
   
   
2. Do the rescue mission and look for the new recruits bonus perk.
   
   
3. If you like it keep playing,
   
   
4. if not, close the game copy the files from the separate folder back into the main folder and overwrite the files.
   
   
5. Launch the game and repeat from step 2
   

You can get a crewmate with a perk in recuiting, return to main menu, and return to recruiting to reroll that perk. It won't reroll the number of perks. the rarity of the perk is irrelevent (a legendary perk can become an utlra, etc.)
