All Evil Dead: The Game Survivors – Perks and Supports

While the most common iconography of the Evil Dead series involves Ash Williams taking on hordes of Deadites all by his lonesome, the truth of the matter is that Ash did a lot of his best work with the backing of trusted allies. One chainsaw and boomstick can clear out a lot of evil, but they can clear a lot more with a few extra hands.

Here are all of the Evil Dead: The Game Survivors.

All Evil Dead: The Game Survivors – Perks and Supports

In Evil Dead: The Game, the Survivors are broken up into four different categories to differentiate their abilities and roles during a match. You can only have one instance of a particular character in a match at a time, though don’t worry if everyone wants to be Ash, because there are variants of him for all four categories.

Every Survivor has an active skill that you can trigger at will for beneficial effects, as well as three unique perks.

The categories are:

• Leaders: All-around Survivors with abilities to bolster the team’s overall survivability and facilitate cooperative action.
• Warriors: Tanky melee combatants with abilities that help them stay in the thick of the action for longer periods of time.
• Hunters: Long-ranged scouts that specialize in gunplay and hunting down resources like equipment and ammo.
• Supports: Healing and defense-focused Survivors that keep themselves and their teammates healthy, protected, and unafraid using a combo of abilities and consumables.
