Your first objective in 'Beginnings' is to escape the scrapyard. This section emphasizes stealth. Utilize the numerous crates and derelict vehicles for cover. Send Nix ahead (LB/L1/F) to scout enemy patrols and identify weak points. Nix can also interact with certain environmental objects to create distractions, drawing enemies away from your path.
When an enemy is isolated, approach from behind for a silent takedown (A/X/E). Avoid direct confrontation if possible, as your resources are limited early on. Look for vents or alternative paths to bypass heavily guarded areas. Your goal is to reach the designated exit point without raising alarms. If detected, quickly find cover and break line of sight to reset enemy awareness.
