What to study

Mid-run, the Siege pauses for perks, and because this is a four-player game, the choice is a board, not a menu. The screen splits into four columns, one per player, each still headed by that player's own HUD cluster of paired heroes, health bars, orb count and combo multiplier. Every column shows one large card for a perk branch: DMG UP! for an Offensive Bonus under a red fist, DEF UP! for a Defensive Bonus under a blue shield, TAC UP! for a Tactical Bonus under an orange head, the three branches the mode's 12-perk system is built from. Along the bottom of each column, the three branch medallions sit in a row with the current pick ringed, so each player can see what the other three are taking before the run resumes; even here, the pink race bar creeps on at the bottom edge. Frame at about 0:43 in the DLC's Game Mode Trailer (Steam); pre-release footage (DLC launches 10 Nov 2026).
