Muscle Memory

Muscle Memory
Class	Reflexes Perk
Attribute	Reflexes
Tier	Rookie (4)
Levels	1
Requires	Slippery

Muscle Memory lets V reload while sprinting, sliding and vaulting. The reload stops being a moment of standing still and becomes something that happens on the way to the next position. It is an early pick in the Reflexes tree. Submachine guns and assault rifles empty fast enough that it matters constantly.

Effect

---

A reload is the longest window in which a build can do nothing. Tying it to movement means the window is spent crossing ground rather than waiting in place.

It pairs with the way the whole tree protects V. Movement is the defence here, so a reload performed at a sprint is also a reload performed behind the best protection the build has.

How to Unlock Muscle Memory

---

It sits behind the Rookie gate of the Reflexes tree and is bought from Slippery.

Perk Tree

---

Muscle Memory is bought from Slippery in the Reflexes tree.

Name	Image	Tier	Effect
Slippery		Rookie (4)	The faster you move, the more difficult for enemies to shoot you. Effect increases when Dashing, dodging, sliding, sprinting and vaulting.

Character Builds

---

It suits any Reflexes build carrying an automatic weapon, since those empty fast and a reload in the open is where such a build dies.

Buy it at the Rookie gate with Multitasker. Ready, Rested, Reloaded at the Pro gate then speeds the reload itself up while stamina is high, so the build is reloading quickly while sprinting, which removes the window almost entirely.

Notes

---

Multitasker allows shooting during the same moves, so the two together remove any reason to stand still.

Ready, Rested, Reloaded higher in the tree speeds the reload up as well, provided stamina is high.
