Walkthrough
- 1Start the game; you'll enter an optional tutorial that teaches basic movement (WASD/left stick), shooting (left click/right trigger), and the Gunner class. You can revisit it via the Miner's Manual.
- 2After the tutorial, you'll be on the Space Rig. Here you can prepare for missions, buy upgrades, start assignments, or visit the Abyss Bar.
- 3As a new player, you must complete the 10-mission "Conquer Hoxxes IV" assignment to access the planetary regions of Hoxxes IV. Assignment missions are marked with a white diamond icon.
- 4Completing assignments rewards Crafting Resources and Credits, used for upgrades and cosmetic items.
- 5Once "Conquer Hoxxes IV" is done, you can freely explore planetary regions, mine resources, take on new assignments to unlock gear, customize your dwarf, or tackle challenging mutators for rewards.
- 6Remember to use grenades and traversal tools frequently and to their full potential.
