The Payday 2 Perk Deck system allows players to select one deck with nine perks. Although there are 22 decks available, you can only activate one deck at a time. It would help if you converted your XP income into Perk Points to unlock all of them. This skill system was added to the game on Day 5 of CrimeFest 2014 to replace the passive tier bonuses. While five skills are unique, four are mutual throughout the decks.
Mutual perks include Helmet Popping, Blending in, Walk-in Closet, Fast and Furious, and a Deck Completion bonus. Moreover, there are many unique perks in the game. Obtaining all available decks will give you access to every effect. Here is the list of the top five perk decks in Payday 2.
