Deadzone Rogue lets players pick up various equipment and power-ups during runs to help them create a build according to their playstyle. While you’ll be doing most of the gearing up on the field, you’ll need to keep investing Tech and other materials in the upgrades skill tree to enhance the character’s base stats. Raising the base stats of your character is important, especially for players who want to start each run strong or want to try higher difficulties.
