Nanosuit guide
Quick notes
- Use Armor as the dependable combat state. Armor mode supports survival when enemies already know your position.
- Use Cloak to relocate rather than stand in a patrol. Cloak helps approach or bypass enemies while energy lasts.
- Strength and Speed solve movement problems. Strength helps with powerful jumps, melee and steadier weapon use; Speed provides fast bursts of movement.
- Build an approach with a recharge point. Scout a compound with binoculars, identify a route and choose a protected place to recover suit energy.
Use Cloak to relocate rather than stand in a patrol
| Situation | Better choice | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Cloak energy nearly empty | Reach cover and recharge | Avoid becoming visible in open ground |
| Several enemies firing | Use protection and break sight | Energy alone will not sustain the exchange |
| Long jump needed | Prepare Strength before moving | The mode must match the obstacle |
| Quick retreat needed | Use Speed toward known cover | A fast move still needs a safe destination |
Useful tip
Scout a compound with binoculars, identify a route and choose a protected place to recover suit energy.
