  • Read from the New Game menus on Windows / Steam build 26525552 (100-REV13), November 9, 2026.
  • Perk and specialization effects are the game's own descriptions. We played only the Apprentice start on Mark Up with no perks.

The 12 specializations

The game labels each start. Apprentice is Recommended For New Players; Rock Bottom is Extreme Challenge Mode; five are Advanced Starts; three are marked Work In Progress. Fence, Rock Bottom, Gunsmith and Chemist say the introduction is not available for them. For the three Work In Progress starts (Junker, Organ Dealer and Street Food Vendor), the Continue button was greyed out in our menu.

Water Merchant: water purification

Chemist: tested caffeine recipe

Hydroponic Farmer: machines and batteries

Fence: crates and keycards

Rat Wrangler: rat cage and feeding

All 12 specialization screens: Apprentice, Water Merchant, Fence, Rock Bottom, Hydroponic Farmer, Gunsmith, Chemist, Rat Wrangler, Aquafarmer, Junker, Organ Dealer and Street Food Vendor.

How perk points work

The screen says to choose negative perks to gain points to spend on positive perks, and that some perks are mutually exclusive. Our Apprentice run showed 3 Available Perk Points and Perks 0/4. Colorful Character adds 3 more perk slots. Positive perks cost 1 or 2 points; three are free; negative perks give 1, 2, 3 or 4.

Update 1.0.0.12 says Lucky and Unlucky now change luck by 15 instead of 5, on new runs only. Their tooltips still just say luck changes, probably.

Starting Perks screen: three rows of green and red perk icons, Available Perk Points 3, Perks 0/4.

Choosing a start without guessing

If you are new, the game itself points you to Apprentice, the only start it recommends, with the full introduction. If you already know which trade you want, pick the specialization that brings its manual and equipment, and use our tested guide for that trade. Work In Progress starts are labelled that way by the developer, and their Continue button was greyed out on 100-REV13.

For perks, read the cost against what your trade needs. Water traders get unlimited Rustwater from Working Pipes; Wanted-poster reporting pays more with Model Citizen; scavenging perks only matter if you visit the Dumping Grounds. These are menu descriptions; we have not measured which combination earns most.
