Combat and mission mechanics
Success in each mission depends on balancing positioning, accuracy, and objective timing. Players must clear rooms by eliminating enemy combatants before attempting to free imprisoned allies. Because foes can swarm from multiple sides, keeping your operative mobile while aiming precisely prevents enemies from cornering your squad.
Tips and strategy
- Keep moving constantly: Standing stationary makes you vulnerable to incoming enemy fire, so use WASD to circle around targets.
- Prioritize high-threat targets: Focus your attacks on the most dangerous foes first before clearing weaker guards.
- Clear rooms before rescuing: Defeat surrounding adversaries before pressing the Space bar to interact with holding cells safely.
- Manage engagement distances: Maintain adequate space against melee rushers so you can pick them off before they strike.
- Track your cursor position: Align your aim steadily before clicking to ensure every offensive strike lands effectively.
