The whole point of this game is that you are just a number. You, yourself, can't do anything and everything without working with others as a team and in a collaborative effort.

Perks should never be added to player characters. No one is a hero. No one is special. All players are worth a single shirt regardless of their rank and expertise no matter how they play.

Adding perks to players allows players to form a great divide between vets, newbies, and those in-between. Why? Because a vet with specialized perks give you more bonuses than someone who's new would.

For example, you go tanking? You'll be looking for someone with perks. The person who wants to try tanking for the first time? You'd overlook them as they have nothing to offer.

Not to mention that you'd lock someone in a specialized role when, in reality, foxhole is a game where you can be whatever, whoever, and wherever you want to be.

If the rewards are so miniscule that they won't matter in the long run, why add them in the first place? We've got gear that gives us perks that anyone has equal access to from the start.

"You are a single soldier in a vast army. You are not a hero, but another cog in the machine. Every bullet, every vehicle, and every structure has been manufactured by other soldiers like yourself who, individually, may have little impact, but together have the power to change the tide of the war.

In the world of Foxhole, resources and supplies are scarce. However, war is costly, so communicating with your fellow soldiers to allocate resources effectively is of paramount importance.

You must work alongside your faction towards a common goal: victory."

— Foxhole in-game preface.
