Anomaly Lockdown Perks and Gadgets Guide

The Shop in Anomaly Lockdown offers purchasable Perks and Gadgets using Points, earned by actively participating in rounds. This page covers every Escape Role Perk, Reinforcement Role Perk, and Reinforcement Gadget with costs, effects, and what each trade actually costs your build.

Perks and Gadgets are not the same category. Perks are passive bonuses or active abilities purchased with Points. Gadgets are physical items that occupy inventory slots. Reinforcement Gadgets take the first Gadget slot and cannot be dropped.

Commanders and Elites cannot equip Perks or Reinforcement Gadgets. Their kits are the reward.

How to Spend Points Wisely

Points are earned by actively participating in rounds. Kills, escapes, and objective completion all contribute.

Efficiency by cost:

• Escape Role Perks under 1000 Points offer the best trade-offs for Class-D and scientists.
• Reinforcement Perks in the 500-1200 range are strong for MTF holding chokes.
• High-cost perks (3000+) are niche builds for experienced players.
• Reinforcement Gadgets vary wildly in utility. Sledge Hammer and Warper have the most map impact.

Combos to avoid:

• Escape Master + Athlete: both penalize stamina regeneration.
• Fearless Charge + Opportunist: both drain stamina while sprinting.
• Prowler + Prostrate: contradictory - one wants you mobile, one wants you prone.
