Deadzone: Rogue/Perks

Starting from Security Level 2, perk rooms will reward the player with a choice between three perks. The first three choices allow the player to choose their primary perks. All subsequent choices are secondary perks. Each primary perk adds a selection of four possible secondary perks that may be chosen. Up to three secondary perks per primary perk may be chosen in a single run.

Perks are one of the most impactful forms of progression in Deadzone: Rogue. Due to their limited selection, they should be considered carefully. There are three categories of perks: Combat Perks, Protective Perks, and Elemental Perks.
