Start from the question, not the home page
Use the Wiki home page for orientation and All Pages when you already know a mechanic, item, character, or mode name. New players should begin with the field guide and core mechanics before opening individual perk or weapon entries.
- Learning the loop: open the novice guide
- Building a loadout: open Perks and Traits
- Researching a named subject: use All Pages
02
Navigate the reference in topic-sized passes
Move from system pages to exact entries: Perks and Traits for Agent builds; weapons and Crafting for equipment; Enemies and Bosses for threats; Locations, modes, endings, and Lore for world context.
| Question | Destination |
|---|---|
| How does my build work? | Perks, Traits, equipment |
| What is this threat? | Enemies, Bosses, factions |
| What happened here? | Locations, modes, endings, Lore |

Cross-check any value that changes a decision
Fandom is community maintained. It is excellent for discovery and terminology, but a damage value, cost, active event, or balance claim can lag behind the game.
Use current in-game text for live mechanics, the semi-official Trello for concise cards, and an original Roblox or AA/DW Discord announcement for update status.

Sources and verification
