Pilot Skills and Quirks

This page provides overview of mechwarriors passive/active Skills and Quirks in the RogueTech mod:

• Reworked skill tree with additional bonuses provided to mechwarriors
• Reworked abilities
• Mechwarrior/Pilot quirks now provide benefits or penalties to various skills and other benefits

Pilots can also earn Unit Affinities as they become more familiar with mechs and vehicles. These specializations provide larger bonuses as a pilot becomes more familiar with their unit(s).

• Gunnery: Accuracy, Weapon Jamming
• Piloting: Initiative, Melee
• Guts: Panic, Injury Resist, Heat (i.e. Shutdown Override, Ammo Explosion, etc.)
• Tactics: Sensor, Initiative
