Body Perk Tree is perfect for players who like to punch, shoot, and run through any obstacle in their way: where it lacks the finesse of trees like Reflexes, Intelligence, and Cool, it offers raw stamina and health sustain, and powerful Shotgun, LMG, HMG, and melee weapon damage. Even if specializing in it is not your cup of tea, Body Perks offer excellent health and stamina boosts for just about any other build.
The Body Tree’s vehicle perk is 
Fury Road, which makes car collisions more viable as a method of assault.
Best Body Perks
Spontaneous Obliteration (level 3) — might be the most powerful and satisfying perk on the Body Tree. It only works with Shotguns, LMGs, and HMGs, but it gives you up to 20% chance to Obliterate (instantly kill and dismember) enemies at low Health. It’s like an ongoing Finisher chance.
- If you are leveling this side of the tree, don’t underestimate shotguns: you will be unlocking powerful combos with melee attacks, and if you adopt this playstyle,
Close-quarters Carnage perk will get you a noticeable bonus to the Obliterate chance.
Painkiller — inhalers are now a valuable resource, and if you aren’t boosting that with Tech Tree’s 
Health Freak branch, you gotta grab this perk to regen your health passively: you will be in combat mode often, and while you run around dispatching enemies, you need something to keep you going.
- If you like pressing that Shift down, also grab
Speed Junkie for that massive 60% regen boost.
- If you like getting right in the middle of enemy crowds,
Army of One will get you a 10% extra regen for every enemy nearby.
Comeback Kid will get you out of low health much faster and is another great perk for tanking your way through.
