Pro Tip: Helmets reduce headshot damage, with the amount of the reduction increasing with equipment tier:

  • White: 30% Reduction
  • Blue: 40% Reduction
  • Purple/Gold: 50% Reduction

Unlike shields, helmets never break, and never have to be restored with consumables!

Pro Tip: About gold weapons! "Fully kitted" guns are regular weapons with pre-installed attachments. The Kraber and the Mastiff are what you might call power weapons. They come with a finite amount of ammo and extra ammo cannot be obtained for them.

Pro Tip: Gold weapon attachments have unique properties, just like equipment!

  • Muzzles - Flash hider (reduces muzzle flash) Scopes -
  • Threat vision (highlights enemies, even through smoke/gas)

There are no gold stocks or magazines.

Pro Tip: Gold equipment has the same stats as Purple equipment, but with a bonus perk:

  • Helmet- Faster Tacticals and Ultimates
  • Armor- Refill shields after an execution
  • Backpack- Health and shield consumables take half as long to use
  • KO Shield - One-Time Self Revive

Pro Tip: when you have a good handle on all the loot, you can turn on COMPACT LOOT PROMPTS for a more streamlined HUD! It's in the Settings menu

Pro Tip: You can find gold equipment in care packages. And sometimes in Lifeline packages.

Pro Tip: Kick those doors in! You can kick and eventually destroy doors by melee'ing them! Also blow them up with grenades!

Pro Tip: All characters move at the same speed. It only feels like some characters move slower because they have a higher camera height and slower arm animations!

Pro Tip: you can wall-climb to higher areas by jumping and pushing forward. It's not covered in the tutorial but is essential!

Yay! Glad these are useful!
