Are you stuck but pretty sure you aren't bugged? Ask here and I'll do my best to provide a cryptic clue.

GENERAL TIPS

- Check your mission items. Most will provide some hint as to what to do next.

- Pay attention to inspection text. Some of it's there for flavour, some of it isn't.

- Do the legwork. Return to old locations. Talk to different people. Some of them will provide valuable clues. There are a few different ways to overcome most of the big story obstacles, and often the best (and cheapest!) way isn't the most obvious one.

- Read this thread! If you're stuck, chances are, someone else was too. Give this page a skim and see if I've already answered your question.

- Stuck in combat? Do some exploration. You might find some new gear and extra karma to help you out. Make sure you spend that starting cash on a new weapon, some better armour, and at least one medkit before tackling the first major dungeon area.

- Total noob? Here's my suggested character build for players new to SRR who want to roll new characters. Dump most of your starting Karma into SMG, dodge and body. Throw a couple points at a support area like Decking or Spirit Summoning, but wait to emphasize those. The Shambles is a dangerous place, and the first few hours there will be a lot kinder if you know how to handle yourself in a fight.
