  • The Radiation Suit is crucial for navigating the lava river sections.
  • Utilize the environment to your advantage when fighting enemies.
  • Pay attention to the minimap (the radar (your minimap with nearby blips and threats marked) on your HUD (heads-up display — the on-screen icons showing health, ammo and the minimap)) for enemy positions and objectives.
