Quick research board: what deserves its own guide?
1. Best skill tree after 2.0
Mobility is valuable for escapes and PvP, Conditioning now includes Security Breach and loadout benefits, and Survival works for farming/crafting. There is no objectively verified best universal allocation one day after launch. Start with our Reddit and skill-tree debate and test prerequisite paths before spending points.
2. Fallen Emperor: How to get inside
Redirection events, the Gateway Conduit and three distinct couplers are the key leads. Here’s our first-day secrets and survival guide. Test extraction persistence and exact loot routes before posting absolutes.
3. Grapple hook and extraction routes
Learn physics-based swinging, escape options and Ballistic Gondola extraction before risking big loot runs. Record successful routes and include map landmarks for future updates.
4. Outpost research and amplified weapons
Track Research Bench upgrades, found designs, amplification costs and whether actual raid performance beats the expense. Share tested recipes, not screenshots of rumors.
5. New enemy counters
Bully, Skulker and Hydra encounters deserve separate short guides with clips, sound cues, safe angles and what not to do.
