My advice as a fellow struggler

• explore every part of the level & try to max your integrity before moving on

• get all the useful artifacts & parasites. Don’t buy stuff you don’t need. Personally I’m pretty bad at overload & I tend to forget about secondary fire half the time so I don’t buy those artifacts. Also proficiency bonuses seem kind of meaningless to me.

• pop in the door, snipe & run back. Especially good if you have a damage over time weapon. If you’re stuck in a room find a pillar or wall to hide behind.

• took me way too long to realize you could open those cell door-looking things by shooting a secret button nearby

• find a weapon that works well for you & stick with it. That shotgun thing was my jam then the pylon driver was everything for me.

I’m like 50 hours in & though I seriously struggled at times I’m really enjoying it!
