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.
- Check what each game pass does before buying; many are convenience-only.
- Commit to one build until it is online — spreading points thin slows the early game.
- Play with headphones — sound cues usually warn you before a threat appears.
- Prioritise shelter and a renewable food source before exploring far.
