Slow and steady or Never without one?

[CrankLobster]

I don't glitch so it take me forever to earn money, I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions or reasons as to which of these two perks I should upgrade first. Thanks for the help folks

If you had asked a couple of weeks ago, there would have been an easy answer. NWO used to be super-powerful, but its been badly nerfed.  it now only protects you from some, not all, headshots (they actually have to hit you in the hat, now). 

Slow and steady is situational, and I think, from reading on here, that it also isn't as good as it used to be.  I have them both maxed out, and I think I would probably go NWO, even with the nerf, although I don't use either of those cards anymore - I've switched out to Fight Another Day, Hunker Down and Slippery Bastard, instead.

I wish they'd give you flat out values. I'm trying to decide between upgrading slow and steady to level 2 or Never without one level 2, nwo says you take a little less damage with a hat on, just more damage taken if you don't have one on. And slow and steady changes from a "little" damage reduced to "damage reduced" this dilema is murdering me inside so any help at all would be appreciated, my loadout is slow and steady, to fight another day, come back stronger(may be changed not sure what to put there haha), and never without one,(if that helps) for an anti "first shot" death from griefers

I merged your two threads together since they are essentially asking the same thing. Please don't create multiple threads on the same subject. Thanks.

i use slow and steady as perks and to kill anything actually , it doesnt allow headshot outright , as long as your dead eye is full you become a real tank

Never without one. But that's personal opinion.  I suggest trying each for a day to get a feeling for it . Your personal playstyle might make one more beneficial than the other. In a posse with set outfits your hat respawns.

Never without one is broken since it was nerfed. Ditto for slow and steady.  I have both maxed.  Try Paint It Black and Fight Another Day. Peak Condition, Strange medicine . Horseman and winning streak. It is ultimately finding the ability cards to suit your playing style.
