Difficulty Settings & First Steps
  • Recruit: For players new to FPS games or those who want to focus on the story. Enemies are less aggressive and deal less damage.
  • Soldier: The standard difficulty. Offers a balanced challenge for most players.
  • Veteran: For experienced FPS players. Enemies are more numerous, aggressive, and deal more damage. Nanosuit energy regenerates slower.
  • Supersoldier: The ultimate challenge. Enemies are extremely deadly, Nanosuit energy is severely limited, and tactical thinking is paramount.

For your first playthrough, we recommend Soldier to get a good feel for the game's mechanics. Once you've selected your difficulty, the game will begin with a cinematic introduction, setting the stage for your arrival in New York City. Pay attention to the initial tutorials as they guide you through basic movement and Nanosuit activation. Your first objective will be to rendezvous with Prophet, which kicks off the main story.
