Which perks will benefit me the most?

Acquiring perks can help you gain the upper hand in 7DTD. The biggest issue is “Which ones should I buy?” There are some items that can only be crafted after acquiring perks. While others will help your health and stamina.This will help you decide which perks to spend your hard earned points on.

Choose wisely!!

10. Advanced Engineering

But I'm not an engineer!

This perk can be found under Intellect, and this is definitely an essential perk. You will always need to have a forge (duh), workbench and cement mixer and the perks that come along with them. You won’t get far without them!

Advanced Engineering will give you the following perks:

Ability to create a forge, workbench, cement mixer and eventually gun turrets!
Craft items faster

Perks:

Each tier opens up more slots to carry items without being encumbered
