What I learn so far ( Tips and advices)

1.You can get access to a warehouse that will increase your storage items as you process through the level 0 remodeling option as you play the game and find the materials .

2. For me at the bottom left corner when looking at your items there's a button that lets you combine items of the same unit, for example a health kit with 4 uses and another one with 3 uses can combine and have a health kit with 5 uses and the other with 2 uses.

3. Never bring what you cant afford to lose early on, it better to use you the starter kits for blue milk runs, and use the good parts for a limited goal.

4. Buy insurance for at least you most expensive part if you dont want to spend too much money on it.

5. Items can be put on a wish list, this not only does this give you a location on the map on where they might be but if you are close enough it will pop up on the interface.

6. starting weapons can be re brought for free at the item shop if lost on the field

7. Enemies mechs will always be found in the same location you first found them, they not only have items but the area they are in usually have good materials.

8. Always try to approach a area from the high ground or corner wide field of view. Only go to the center once you are aware of your targets.

9. Take a few pot shots and reload while the enemy is at a distance so that way when they start to get close to you, you can unload your whole clip on them as they get closer.

10. Early on when dealing with a green chaser (or stronger version) dont be afraid to turn around and put some distance between them ( try lure them out in the open if they are in a close space) they have a lot of hp and can 2 shot your mech.

11. There yellow poles that can be use to pull up they mech to higher areas.

12. Use the evade button to jump behind cover, avoid heavy gun fight or enders attacks, see the control options to see which button does it.

Tacking on to point 5, your Magus will keep track of where you find items in real time. Updating your map where you've found materials before. Hence it's a good rule of thumb to explore the entire map. It's super nice. Just keep an eye on your mini map when a wishlisted/targeted material pops up on-screen. It shows as a little heart in the top right.

Additional point, although minor, is that you should empty out your piggy bank before upgrading it. If you upgrade it before withdrawing money, it just sets it to zero. Found that out early on.

I once saw a player with a defensive magus put up a wall on the elevator to divide it so we were on opposite sides. Guess that could be nice in case someone is shotgun happy at close distance during extraction.

Defensive is pretty much my bread and butter, I've done that plenty of times too. Even just to keep my back covered when extracting alone. It's unlikely you'll get blasted by an Association Member at an extract, but it's not impossible. I expect it'll happen often with newer players since we'll see more join the ranks of Black Market on release.

That was probably me. Bonus points if you saw the person who was denied access respond with a hello "Sorry to bother you" emote.

Excellent! Though they need to understand that the South is a grinder. The mobs are hard. The players do NOT emote or even ask questions. Now the Assoc players are there too. It's not for the faint of heart lol.
