Any tips for a noob?

[Khaziir Everflight]

Other than "Git Gud" and "Trust noone", what other tips can yall give a humble noob like myself, so i know what to keep in mind with this game, while trying to get into it?

Also, how much of an advantage gives premium, and can it be grinded for ingame (like some games allow)?

I don't have any issues in general, but want tips. Just general "Would have loved it to know when i started" kinds of things.

some main missions are a pain in the ass so i recomend to see guides to do them.
also use armour plates in swamps, like half the people dont use them there

[Kladio]

also dont try to buy other peoples bags in the auction because only the owner can open it

one last thing, be patient the game is pretty grinding and you can loose hours of farming in a gunfight but its good when you can finally craft something

If a blackhole kills you, mark it on the map

in fact mark all the evil ♥♥♥♥ you come across, it will save you a headache later

"Maximum aggro" on youtube has a lot of guides for quests if you get stuck

quests can fail if you make the wrong choices and you can lose out on stuff so i would recommend.

You can also join one of the stalcraft discord channels depending on what region you play on to ask questions directly to players and community members

there are people there who solely exist to answer your questions

Run around with ammo bags and only unpack the amount you need at given times (ammo bags don't drop on death, loose ammo does) bring an armor plate + one back up in your inventory if you intend on being out for a decent run (armor breaks fast, especially once you get to AI camps around the dump)
When running around areas you are not familiar with, push 5 and spam your bolts in the direction you are running to see incoming anomalies to quickly react.
Use your knife on dogs and rats, they can easily be killed this way. Saves ammo and doesn't make as much noise.
Always be aware of how many people are near you, it shows the number at the top right by the minimap, it'll be "1" if you're the only person in the vicinity. It also makes a distinct noise whenever someone enters or leaves your vicinity, a beep.

Also you don't need premium to have full access to the game, just helps support the devs and gives you an extra daily reward + slightly faster farming. Sadly you can only purchase premium via real currency as far as I'm aware.

Also choices matter in side quests, you can miss out on a lot of rewards you might want if you don't choose the proper responses. So I highly recommend checking guides for some quests. If you miss one dialogue option throughout a whole quest chain, you straight up can miss out on very different rewards.

Apparently you can buy premium in game, check the auction house. I was wrong oops.

I have 32 hours played and this simple tip made me facepalm so damn hard. The amount of ammo I've lost because I kept the packs in my personal storage.
