Perks are managed at the end of each match
Perks are persistent bonuses to your character that are retained game-to-game. Perks are acquired by completing games, gaining account experience, and leveling up your account. Perks are divided into four tiers; each tier requires 0, 5, 10, and 15 points to access, for a maximum of 20 perks (the current max account level).
At each level, the player is awarded 1 point to spend on a new perk. It is only possible to reconfigure your perks directly following a match, but perks can be reconfigured at this time with no penalty.
Account experience can be gained through matches with AI players.
As of the current patch some disconnections can wipe your XP and perks, in order to prevent this make a back-up as shown in this handy YouTube video here.
