Perks, Ascension & upgrades

Perks

Perk machines are scattered around the map and, like everything else, move every run. Official No official perk list exists yet. Perks players mention by name:

• Second Chance — strong enough that challenge-map makers remove it. Official
• Melee perk — players say it makes the knife very strong early. Players

Vending machines

Separate from perk machines: map makers describe vending machines as a source of stat boosts alongside level-ups. Official

Gun Ascension

“Feed your gun to the Gun Ascension altar and choose how it gets stronger, as many times as you can afford.” Official Two practical consequences:

• Commit to one gun. Repeated Ascensions compound, so spreading points across guns weakens you.
• The altar matters twice. Players offer the three hearts here for the Easter egg.

Ascension costs and the exact upgrade options haven’t been published.

Upgrade draft

After every round, pick one upgrade from a draft — so each run builds differently. Official Demo coverage describes a choice of three, picked by each player individually. Press

Draft options players report

Names are paraphrased from player posts; in-game wording may differ. Players also note that almost every upgrade in the demo is locked to the full game. Players

The five elements

Steam lists “Five elements” as a key feature, without naming them. Official What we can say:

• Players mention lightning damage. Dev
• The store says bodies “bleed out, burn up or shatter depending on how they died.” Official Which element causes which effect isn’t documented.

We’ll list all five once they’re named officially or confirmed in-game.
