What does the Insight perk do in Rocket Bot Royale?

Insight lets you see which weapons an opponent is carrying — though not how many of each. It unlocks at level 20. Per the community wiki it costs 3 as of season 33 (it used to cost 1 before that), and you can equip one.

What's the best perk in Rocket Bot Royale?

There's no single best — it's situational. Health is the most universally useful (cheap, unlocks at level 1, and you can stack two for +40% HP). Insight is the high-skill info pick, Vampire rewards aggression, and Ammo's fourth rocket is strong but expensive and unlocks late (level 50).

How many perks can you equip in Rocket Bot Royale?

You choose perks in the armory before a match. Most perks are limited to one, but Health is the exception — you can equip up to two Health perks for +40% HP total.

What level do you unlock each perk at?

Per the community wiki (season 33): Health at level 1, Speed at 14, Insight at 20, Magnet at 28, Healing Shield at 30, Vampire at 32, and Ammo at 50. They unlock in that order as you level up.

Do perks cost coins in Rocket Bot Royale?

Yes, you buy them with coins. As of the season-33 wiki snapshot: Health 2, Speed 3, Insight 3, Magnet 3, Vampire 5, Healing Shield 8, and Ammo 10. Costs have shifted between seasons, so treat these as a guide, not gospel.

Rocket Bot Royale Perks: All 7 Explained (and Which to Run)

Perks are the quiet half of a Rocket Bot Royale loadout. Everyone obsesses over weapons, but the perk you slot in the armory decides whether you out-survive, out-info, or out-sustain the lobby. There are seven, they unlock as you level, and they are absolutely not equal. Here's every one — effect, cost, unlock level — plus which actually earn their slot, sourced from the community wiki (season-33 snapshot).

The short answer: all 7 perks at a glance

Perk	What it does	Cost	Unlocks at
Health	+20% HP each (equip up to two)	2	Lv 1
Speed	+30% driving speed	3	Lv 14
Insight	See an opponent's weapon types (not counts)	3	Lv 20
Magnet	Pull in nearby coins and crates all match	3	Lv 28
Healing Shield	Your shield heals (~50% of missile damage)	8	Lv 30
Vampire	Heal 50% of the damage you deal	5	Lv 32
Ammo	A fourth rocket for the whole match	10	Lv 50

Costs and levels have shifted between seasons (Insight used to cost 1, Ammo used to cost 7), so treat the numbers as a reliable guide rather than a permanent law.

All 7 perks, in unlock order

Health (Lv 1). The first perk you get and the one you'll never fully retire. Each Health perk adds 20% HP, and it's the one perk you can double up — run two and you're at +40%. Cheap, simple, and it wins the fights that come down to one more rocket survived.

Speed (Lv 14). +30% driving speed. Underrated on bigger maps and in the late game, where repositioning before the water catches you is half of staying alive. Less useful if your playstyle is camp-and-snipe.

Insight (Lv 20). The information perk: see what weapons an opponent is holding — though not how many of each. At a high level, knowing whether the tank across the gap has a Nuke or a Whirlwind changes whether you peek or retreat. It rewards players who actually act on the read; if you won't, the slot's wasted.

Magnet (Lv 28). Pulls nearby coins and crates to you for the entire match. This is the economy/farming pick — great if you're grinding coins, less impactful on pure win-rate. Nice touch: if another Magnet user is nearby, loot goes to whoever's closer.

Healing Shield (Lv 30). Adds healing to your shield — you (or teammates inside it, depending on mode) recover up to roughly 50% of the missile damage. Strong in team modes and for players who use shields as a rhythm rather than a panic button. Pricey at 8.

Vampire (Lv 32). Damaging another player heals you for 50% of the damage dealt. This is the aggression perk: it turns trades into sustain and rewards players who push fights instead of avoiding them. If you play passive, it does nothing.

Ammo (Lv 50). The last unlock and the most expensive at 10 coins. It gives you a fourth rocket for the whole match — more shots before you're forced to reposition or scavenge. Powerful in the right hands, but it's a late, costly luxury, not a starter pick.

Which perks should you actually run?

It depends on your level and your style, but here's the honest shortlist:

New and still learning: stack two Health. Survivability buys you the time to learn the rocket-jump and aim, which matter far more than any fancy perk.
Aggressive brawler: Vampire — every fight you win tops you back up, and it snowballs.
Calculating, high-skill: Insight — but only if you'll change your decisions based on what you see.
Coin grinding: Magnet, full stop.
Team play: Healing Shield earns its cost when someone's actually using the shield for the squad.

The pattern: pick the perk that matches how you already play, not the one with the flashiest description. A perk that doesn't fit your habits is a dead slot.

The faster version: no levels, no perk grind

Here's the thing about Rocket Bot Royale's perk system — the best ones are gated behind levels. Insight waits until 20, Vampire until 32, Ammo until 50. That's a lot of matches before your loadout is fully unlocked.
