Tips:

Upgrade silence weapons to max

Use artefacts until you unlock the extra 1 damage

Don’t upgrade loud weapons as you can get OP Sniper, shotgun and AR not that far in some a bit later than others.

Search area first for stragglers and you can use hog rush to knock enemies down and give yourself more time to silently kill

Put weapon upgrade 50% stun mechanicals on atleast to weapons preferably silent ones

Go through the map until next area before fast travelling it saves time

If I remember anymore I’ll edit

You can use Magnus' mind control (Puppeteer) skill to posess a Hunter, and use his medkit to heal your team. Free heals are always nice :D

[dushikorsou]

another tip: you can use loud guns to kill enemies stealthly if they aren't near any other people cause sound has a certain radius. you won't pull the whole map like xcom 2.

Be careful when buying medkits at the shop. The stock is limited and she'll eventually run out. Since there aren't many around the game world, you could end up without any medkits available.

Thank you, this was very helpful! Especially the one with "Go to places where the game tells you not to go!" There is always nice loot available without picking any fights.
Loving the game so far!

Great guide!! I'm already lvl 30 and i'm enjoying it af. "Make a step before every first shot" is gonna make my hole game easier. Thanks a lot pal

[playerone]

This game is nothing short of a masterpiece! Fun, strategic and challenging! The Bearded Ladies Co. have done what xcom never could do! Well done and can’t wait for the sequel! 💯

On the medkits, Bormin also gets a healing skill (as does another stalker) that can ONLY be used in battle. In later battles, this skill is VERY useful. He can heal to full using it. I have had several fights where using that skill has kept me in the fight.

[alduintheanti-dragonborn]

Also apparently if there is a STALKER in the view radius of a ghoul and you aren't actively controlling them, they will remain undetected. This only works outside of combat. Another tip is that if you are in ambush mode, enemies will not move if you remain undetected, it will skip the enemy's turn if you are in stealth. This can be used to sneak past an enemy that loves to move around a lot and quickly covers the gap that you sneak into. Word of warning though, this will probably be patched soon or eventually, so this may become unreliable in the future.

Tip for the developer: implement coop.

[guybrushthreepwood]

I just got this on game pass today and I've never played a game like this so this guide is very helpful thank you my dude

[mm_Arya]

Love this game so far. But holy crap is it hard lol. Thanks gamepass!

Edit: I retract my statement. The game gets laughably easy once you start understanding game mechanics, and level up your characters. I played on normal, and the game doesnt do a good job at making me want to replay it once I beat it. That does not mean it was a bad game. Just left wanting more out of it once I beat it.

[XenoAlex]

Great review! I love to way you articulate in a thought-provoking and yet entertaining way :)

[caperica]

This game is great! I got it early and am really enjoying it. There’s nothing else like it and the interaction of the characters is very intertaining. Very good tips Party.

I think you should make another video on this topic, there are some more tricks to this game:

- A bit more explanation on where is the line between killing 2 enemies close together without allerting the second one.
- If you push an enemy (with the "gaper" for example) down from an high point, it will take extra dmg.
- Kills to recharge skills are shared so is better not to be too conservative with them, don't waste them but don't hold them either.
- You can waste all your skills to take down some really high lvl solo enemy, teleport on an area of your level, recharge them with easy kills, go back to the high level area, repeat. This will give you some more room to loot and a ton of exp.

How some skills work exactly, some of them are pretty confusing without experimenting with them, couple of examples:
- The value of "chain lightning": 1)Sounds cool i'll get it. 2)Does no dmg it sucks, worst buy! 3)Destroys all cover around every enemy hit, ok not so bad now.
- "Moth wings": I still don't get why sometimes they return to the starting position and other times don't, it was really confusing at first when i didn't get the fact that you just go up 1 tile for the current turn and it's not a quick way to move around the map.
- "Twitchy fingers": It doesn't work if the first bullet shot knocks away the enemy so be wary when using it with the "gaper" or "knockback mods".

Plus there are other skills that explain pretty much nothing forcing you to take them just for testing since the description is so vague. Most that come to mind are all the sneaking active skills.

I know that it can be seen as a spoiler, but as a tips and tricks i think that having a bit more knowledge on those skills is the biggest tip you can have since you can't respec and if you took the wrong thing you have to wait a bit before correcting your mistake and you can say goodbye to your wasted skillpoints.

Keep up the goodwork <3

PS: Minor thing: you forgot to mention that you can swap chara on the fly too not only equip ^^

I find Selma is the "Jack of all trades" character. She can be specced to make use of high ground, crowd control, or if you go down her passive bonus, the primary grenadier of the team. She doesn't outright excel in one area, but she can be a nice supplicant to the team.

[NoNickNoKick]

I just started playing this one during last weekend because of the sweet humble bundle monthly deal. I'm hooked and surprised that I actually have done more than a half of your tips, since I'm very rusty on turn based strategy games, probably last one I've played on PC was Silent Storm, and the last one I've played on playstation 3 was Valkyria Chronicles.
