I do find it weird that everyone got mad about the survivalist being everyone but ****...and then all the rework suggestions I see or just that...but buff....
The survivalist needs an Identity, and with the inclusion of survivalist perk only weapons...I think we're getting somewhere...
[Perk per level]
Weapon damage ----------------------------- +0.6 per level
Exclusive weapon damage --------------- +0.8 per level
Damage resistance -------------------------- +1% per level (idk why it's called global resistance...)
Zed Reload time ------------------------------ +3% per level
Versatility (select your starting weapon and either a Medic grenade, Molotov, or Freeze grenade.)
Lone wolf (When you are alone or no other players are alive, you gain 10 carry weight and 10% damage reduction.)
[Perk Tree]

Tier 10

(Thought this was a bit more cleaver and specific to the survivalist then Zedsplosion.)
