Your thoughts on them... discuss

If anyone knows what Animal Control does I'd love to hear. I assume it's more like "we work for Animal Control" than "Aquaman on land", but I have tiny hopes for the latter in conjunction with Animal Friend.

Where's the list?

if anyone has the strategy guide could we get a list of what each does?

Here is a perk called Cowboy - sounds like a must have

Cowboy

Required Character Level: 8
Required Attributes/Skills: Guns 45, Melee 45
You do 25 percent more damage when using any revolver, lever-action firearm, dynamite, knife, or hatchet

Here is another one

Shotgun Surgeon

Required Character Level: 6
Required Attributes/Skills: Guns 45
Your precision with a scattergun is something to behold. When using shotguns, regardless of ammunition used, you ignore an additional 10 points of a target's damage threshold.

Those are level perks not challenge perks.

Sorry - my bad

Are you speaking of Perks like

Probably. Those earned by ingame actions as opposed to picks.

I, again, am very curious about Animal Control.

Challenge perks accrue when certain things are met like kill 100 X creature do 2% more damage.

i've never ingame actually seen it give me a perk for doing them though.

Here ya go:

All the challenge related perks. Oddly enough there's one that isn't named, but gives you a boost. And when you see something like 3/6/10% it means that the challenge is repeatable and that's the boost you get on each level. Hoped it helped.

Thanks for the Challenge perk info. As for the other in-game challenges, like the gambling ones, are there perks associated with them also?
