Launch-week path

Follow this order if you are jumping in from the beta or day one.

  2. 2

    Learn stamina-free combat

    Study Harden, posture breaks, and parry timing so aggression stays tactical instead of button-mashing.

  3. 3

    Play or finish the Open Beta

    Use the Open Beta guide and beta rewards for scope, Flayed Harbinger, Marrow Keep skip, and how the prologue leads into the first open region.

  4. 4

    Compare the Shell roster, then follow how to find Shells and the Shell checklist tool.

  5. 5

    Plan your first loadout
