Basic Tips Hints

You will be able to skip the prologue on subsequent characters after playing it with one character. This is a good way to try out different classes, since your class is permanent once you choose it.

Pay attention to your World Tier. If you’re having trouble, you might want to lower it, while you might consider raising it if you want a chance at better rewards.

Legendary drops become available starting from World Tier 4.

Make sure you understand your chosen class and its skills. Depending on the class you’re using, you’ll have different means of healing yourself and dealing with enemies, which will change how you want to approach the situation.

Different classes are also more effective with different weapons, so be sure to equip a weapon that works best with your class’s playing style. However, you should also make sure to keep a few weapons on hand in case you’re facing enemies where you’ll want to use a different type.

Quests can be replayed, giving you a good method to earn additional experience.

While you’ll auto-collect gear, there is a setting to change the rarity level that will be auto-collected if you want to skip some of the lower-level gear.

As you’re fighting enemies, be careful not to get too close to their spawn location, or you could find yourself surrounded by newly-spawned enemies.

Dragon Age reference Easter Eggs

In the Deadrock Pass area, you’ll encounter a character named Alastair Cullen who gives you the “Free Market” side quest. This name is a reference to two characters from the Dragon Age series, Alistair and Cullen. Meanwhile, the character’s use of drugs and their relevance in the story might also be a further reference to the use of Lyrium in Dragon Age.

Lost reference Easter Eggs

An early part that was included in the demo involves a string of numbers. The sequence of numbers used is the same as the numbers from Lost.

Bulletstorm references Easter Eggs

There are numerous references to Bulletstorm, another game from the same developer.

• You can find a book in multiple places titled “Storm of Bullets.”
• Another book can be spotted written by “Bill T. Storm.”
• Yet another book called “New Thrilling Adventures” shows Bulletstorm characters on its cover.
• One of your possible abilities is called “Bulletstorm.”
• You can find an action figure for Grayson Hunt, the main character from Bulletstorm.

Inventory Wipe Glitch Glitches

There is currently a terrible glitch in which your inventory will be completely wiped. The cause for the inventory wipe issue is currently unknown—some players report that it occurs more often if you’re using crossplay or if you have a connection issue while joining or leaving another player’s game, yet other players have reported encountering the inventory bug even while playing completely solo with crossplay disabled.

Currently there is no known way to avoid the glitch, but avoiding multiplayer seems to at least reduce your chances of encountering it.

The developer is looking into both how to fix the problem and how to restore items that players have lost. Until the glitch is resolved, keep your eyes on official communication channels from the developer and publisher for updates.

Unlock World Tier / Difficulty Settings Unlockables

World Tier is essentially the difficulty setting. Higher World Tier levels will be more difficult but also provide you with better rewards. There are 15 World Tier levels. To unlock a higher-level World Tier, you must complete the level below it.

It’s also worth noting that if you play with another player, you will be restricted to the highest World Tier level of the party leader.

Unlock Perks / Skill Trees / Class Points Unlockables

Each of the game’s four classes has perks you get through class points. These are additional benefits you unlock from skill trees, and each class has 3 skill trees with its own set of skills to unlock. You will earn class points as you level up, with a total of 20 class points being available when you hit the maximum level.

• Technomancer Skill Trees: Pestilence, Tech Shaman, and Demolisher
• Pyromancer Skill Trees: Ash Breaker, Fire Storm, and Tempest
• Trickster Skill Trees: Assassin, Harbinger, and Reaver
• Devastator Skill Trees: Vanquisher, Warden, and Seismic Shifter

Each skill tree is focused toward a different style of gameplay and there aren’t enough class points for you to unlock everything, but you can reset your perks to respec any time you want if you dislike how you’ve used your class points.

Journal Locations Hints

As you complete quests, meet new characters, and find journal entries out in the world, you will unlock new entries for your journal. There are 339 total entries. These provide information about the world, lore, characters, enemies, etc.

91 of them are found out in the world, with 76 of those being ones that are missable as you need to collect them when you find them. If you’re having trouble finding any of the journal entries, use the video guide below for help.

Unlock Crafting Unlockables

After you complete the mission “Salvation,” you will unlock the crafting system. Crafting lets you use resources to upgrade and modify your equipment with the following options:

• Improve Rarity (increases base value)
• Raise Attributes (increases secondary bonus)
• Mod Gear (change the Mod)
• Swap Variant (switch to a different version of that type)
• Level Up (increase its level up to the level cap)
