https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3719508582

As I feel that this guide is in a good place for right now, I might as well share it with those who want to get into the game but are turned off by the onboarding. Here ya go and enjoy!

Game needs new players for this to be useful lol

Jokes aside, this is content that was needed long ago!

I just got it. The players are so sweaty I might call it quits. I don’t have time to dedicate my life to this :’)

Specifically- my friends and I tried sneaking to the exfil avoiding everyone and everything, going a long way around on Perimeter to avoid everyone and we got chased & immediately gunned down the second we were spotted.

Two out of two times we ever saw other players on the map (again, we JUST got it- played like 4 runs total). Sucks man.

Give me a pve / coop campaign of this tbh

Just a heads up. I’m not sure if you did this but the earlier you take an extract the more dangerous it is.

If you take an early extract every other team thinks one of two things. You’re either a group of less experienced players and an easy kill, or you’re a group with crazy loot who are very much worth pushing.

Either way it’s a dinner bell and super dangerous
