Prototype / Movement and events

Prototype Movement and events: spend Evolution Points well

Build traversal skills that help both exploration and survival.

Edition covered

Original 2009 Prototype campaign and original PC publisher pictures. Prototype 2 mutations, Hunting Pulse and New York Zero districts are excluded.

Movement toolkit

Alex descends toward a city street with his arm transformed into a large blade.

Alex can sprint, climb, jump and glide through Manhattan. Combining them keeps momentum and creates escape routes above street-level gunfire. Learn how a jump transitions into a glide before attempting a demanding timed movement event.

Movement toolkit
Action	Useful role	Practice
Sprint	Fast ground travel	Keep momentum around obstacles.
Wall movement	Gain height	Choose a clear rooftop exit.
Charged jump	Cross or climb larger gaps	Read the landing area.
Glide	Extend aerial travel	Plan the next roof before dropping.

Event planning

Events provide focused challenges and Evolution Points. Select an event from the menu so its location appears on the map, then choose powers and upgrades that fit its objective. A kill-focused event and a movement course reward different preparation.

Event planning
Event need	Preparation	Useful menu
Fast route	Movement upgrades	Upgrade list.
Specific attack	Correct unlocked power	Power selection.
Finding the start	Mark the event	Events menu and mini-map.
Understanding a condition	Read the recorded tutorial	Logs.

Movement upgrades also improve combat survival

Reaching a roof quickly can break an alert or provide a better throwing position. That makes traversal an offensive and defensive investment, not just a faster journey between icons. Keep room to land rather than gliding blindly into another occupied street.

Use the logs when an objective changes

The logs preserve tutorials and current mission information. If a challenge asks for a particular action, inspect the wording before spending points on an unrelated upgrade. The blue objective marker identifies the current destination when the route becomes unclear.
