One way to enhance your gameplay and improve your survival ratio is to use perks and items. Now, as you can only equip one item and three perks at a time, we prepared the following tier list of the best perks and items in Violence District to help you pick the optimal loadout for you.

Violence District Best Perks Tier List

In the above tier list, we ranked all Violence District perks by their overall usefulness for survivors. We gave a slight advantage to altruistic perks that benefit you and your allies, as good teamwork is essential for everyone’s survival. You can run perks that only work for you, such as Time to Grow Up and On My Own. However, they won’t help you much even in cases where your teammates play selfishly.

Violence District Item Tier List

Since you can only bring one item into a game of Violence District, we ranked items based on their versatility. With that in mind, Flashlight, Shadow Clone, and Motion Tracker are excellent picks in most situations, as they work well no matter who you play against as a survivor. A-tier items are also great, but we ranked them lower because they can be either difficult to use or a bit situational.
