Perks in 10 Minutes Till Dawn

The real meat and potatoes lie in the kind of perks you have. The weapon you use doesn't really matter when it comes down to the perks you have attached to it.

  • Damage
  • Reload
  • Attack Speed
  • Projectiles
  • Summoning
  • HP
  • Shield
  • Fire
  • Ice
  • Lightning
  • Movement Speed

Best Perk Combinations in 10 Minutes Till Dawn

You can mix and match the above perks in any way you like but there are certain combinations that work the best:

  • Projectiles, Damage, and Ice
    • When you max out Ice, you'll be able to blow up mobs who can explode into bullets, killing the other mobs around them.
  • Movement Speed, Shield, and Lightning
    • This combination makes you lightning-fast and the Lightning quite literally keeps the mobs exploding.
  • Fire and Attack Speed
    • Fire is one of the more enjoyable perks to play with so this combination makes for speedy destruction.
  • Reload, Attack Speed, Projectiles, and Ice
    • This combination can take some practice but if handled correctly, you can quite literally sit in one place as your enemies fall.
