How to play: beginner tips
- Try every weapon type early — the starter weapon is rarely the best.
- Learn each boss's tells on a throwaway attempt before committing resources.
- Split roles with friends — one scout, one builder, one fighter — instead of all doing the same job.
- Prioritise shelter and a renewable food source before exploring far.
- Commit to one build until it is online — spreading points thin slows the early game.
- Scout before committing; most early losses come from over-extending.
