Just some ideas for perks, if they ever added any in. I <3 perks. I <3 any ammount of customisation.

Survivors can choose three of the perks mentioned from their section, and infected can choose one genral perk and one specialist perk depending on their boss. You cannot stack the same perks either.

On campaign mode, the boss infected have no perks, and while playing as the Tank, only your genral perk has any effect.

-:edit:-
I added some balancing unlocking criteria for most of the perks. The one's with "Unlock: Free" underneath them do not require any criteria to unlock.

--:edit:--
Updated all the perks, their critera and fixed some typos
