Tips
  • Batteries for the C.A.T. tool are blue and have three uses per battery. Press R to view the current charge.
  • Keycodes and ID numbers are randomized for each player. Always check your in-game Database or your suit for the correct codes.
  • Hostile bots roam certain areas. Avoid them by running (SHIFT) or hiding behind obstacles. You cannot fight them.
  • Use Wireless Access Points to save progress and view current tasks.
