Quick notes
- Choose roles before buying everything. Our first-run recommendation is a reliable cutting weapon plus a tool for situations it handles poorly.
- Learn the alternate fire in a safe place. Alternate fire can change a weapon’s role completely.
- Respect range and timing. A Seeker Rifle wants a clear shot; a Ripper rewards controlled close-range spacing.
- Reassess the loadout at a Store. Move equipment and excess supplies to the Safe when changing direction.
Useful tip
Move equipment and excess supplies to the Safe when changing direction.
