Character Progression & Perks In Evolve

Evolve is getting ready for its alpha test, and the period will give invited gamers the chance to experience the game's two progression systems.

There are two types of progression systems: One for your character/monster and one for you as a player.

Evolve's hunters are broken into four classes, and as you play you unlock new characters for each of those classes. If you play as the monster you also unlock new ones as you play.

Using your characters' weapons and abilities progresses your skill in them according to a three star system. For example, using Markov's assault rifle and dealing a set amount of damage to the monster is necessary for the weapon's second star rating. This, in turn, give you an additional five percent of accuracy with the weapon.

Each at least one star in each of your character's abilities and weapons and you'll unlock the tier of characters.

Playing the game also earns you an overall level (up to 40). Level up and you'll get perks to use in matches. These include health regeneration, climb speed/jump bonus, and greater feeding speed if you're the monster.
