⚡ Pro Tips

💡 Explore thoroughly - many hidden areas and secrets
💡 Upgrade your weapons and abilities regularly
💡 Use stealth when possible - resources are scarce
💡 Save before boss fights
💡 Complete side content for extra rewards
💡 Pay attention to enemy weaknesses
💡 Use the environment to your advantage
💡 Experiment with different playstyles

🔫 Weapon Forms

  • Spin: close range, fastest fire, best for the floating enemies
  • Pierce: slow, single-shot, punches through armour and shields
  • Shatter: shotgun spread, ideal for the Hiss in corridors
  • Charge: a slow projectile for opening a fight - hold, then release into a group

🌀 Powers Worth Upgrading

  • Launch: grab debris and throw it; it also breaks armour on heavies
  • Shield: absorbs a full barrage, and throwing the shield back deals damage
  • Evade: the dodge has a long invulnerability window - use it to reposition, not just to flee

🏢 Exploration Rules

  • Every floor of the Bureau has a hidden room behind a destructible wall - look for the cracked panels
  • Personal mods stack three at a time; weapon mods change the form, so swap them per encounter
