Best Inferno Pistol Perks in Space Marine 2

Players can find the 7 best perks to use on the Inferno Pistol below, along with why it's a good choice to have:

Perk	Description	Why It's Useful
Divine Might	Damage increases by 10%	The damage is already rather good for the Inferno Pistol, so turning this low-mag weapon into something more lethal is always a good idea.
Motivated Melee	Melee Damage increases by 20% if this Weapon has no Ammo	The Inferno Pistol has limited ammo as is, and the melee damage available will be further rewarded to players who run out of bullets.
Great Might	Damage increases by 10% against Terminus-level enemies	Extra damage is always nice, especially with a close-range weapon that provides decent damage dealt against boss enemies.
Fast Reload	This weapon reloads 10% faster	The reload speed isn't great for the Inferno Pistol, and the limited magazine size means players will need to reload quite often.
Know No Fear	When your Health is below 10%, Reload Speed increases by 30%	Health and Armor are going to be quite low on higher difficulties, so make the most of that by increasing Reload Speed to stay in control of the fight.
One Shot	Damage increases by 50%, but this Weapon's Magazine holds only one cartridge	Sacrificing 2 bullets in the magazine for 1 super powerful shot is risky, but worth it when one considers the damage buff can tear through foes.
Rapid Health	When your Health is below 30%, killing 10 enemies in rapid succession restores Health by 10%	Having a reliable way to heal is going to help, especially paired with the 30% increase to reloading speed while at low health, and while players might only have one bullet in the magazine, it's going to be lethal in groups of smaller enemies.

When players obtain enough Inferno Pistol XP, they should purchase the Gathalamor Crusade version of the Inferno Pistol in the Relic section. This is the best version of the Inferno Pistol, and the stats below speak for themselves:
