Understand the distinction

Our recommended first-session routine separates learning controls from learning progression. You do not need a late-game build to practice navigation, using an ability deliberately and recognizing the extraction objective.[1]

Suggested checklist

  1. Read the objective and review movement and ability bindings before rushing ahead.[1]
  2. Choose the appropriate squad visibility for learning alone or with invited friends.[1]
  3. After a mission, inspect new equipment and available guidance before starting several unrelated grinds.[1]

Limits and next steps

This is a beginner routine, not a speedrunning route or a claim that every mission shares the same extraction conditions.[1]
