Machine Learning

Machine Learning

Class	Relic Perk
Attribute	Relic
Cost	1 Relic point
Levels	1

Machine Learning rewards V for breaking vulnerabilities open. Each one destroyed makes new ones appear more often and raises critical damage against them, and the effect stacks until the bonuses double. It is the companion to the Relic tree's vulnerability perk. It turns one weak point into a chain of them.

Effect

The stacks build as vulnerabilities are destroyed, each one adding to both the frequency of new ones and the critical damage against them.

Reaching the ceiling doubles both effects, which is where the perk becomes something else entirely. Vulnerabilities appear constantly, every hit on one is a heavily amplified critical, and the EMP blasts come one after another.

How to Unlock Machine Learning

It is bought with a Relic point and needs nothing bought ahead of it, though the vulnerabilities it reads have to be unlocked to see any of it.

Character Builds

The build is any build that has bought Vulnerability Analytics, since the vulnerabilities it reads come from that perk.

Buy it directly after Vulnerability Analytics. Cool raises critical damage per point spent, so a marksman build sees the largest figures from the stacking bonus, and the EMP blasts that come from breaking vulnerabilities open arrive more often as the stacks climb.

Notes

Vulnerability Analytics is what makes vulnerabilities visible and exploitable in the first place.

Cool raises critical damage per point spent, so a marksman build compounds this perk's second half.
