Tips & Maps
I can't find or defeat the enemy!
Equip a radar to bring opponents into view and activate the weapon sight by targeting them within the yellow box for a lock-on. Observe enemy movement and keep them in your sights.
I keep leaving the area of operations!
Stay within the mission's operational area, indicated by double lines on the radar. A warning will sound if you get too close to the boundaries, signaling you to turn back.
Why can't I dash or boost jump?
Dashing and boost jumping deplete the energy gauge; if it reaches zero, your AC cannot use boosters or energy weapons until it recharges. Monitor the gauge, use boosters only when necessary, and consider a generator with a higher MAXIMUM CHARGE or a more efficient booster.
I can't fire anymore! What's wrong?
Weapons have limited ammunition; once expended, they cannot be used. Energy weapons don't require ammo but deplete the energy gauge, preventing firing if the gauge is empty until it recharges.
It's too hard to avoid enemy attacks!
Experiment with movements like jumping, dashing, flying, and strafing to avoid attacks. Consider using an AC with good defensive abilities and prioritize destroying your opponent.
