• The Submachine Gun (DLC) is powerful but consumes ammo quickly; save its initial clip.
• Consider investing a Skill Point into 'Absolute Clarity' for a 5% XP bonus.
• Lootable objects can be reset by leaving and returning to the area, providing infinite ammunition and crafting materials.
• Be cautious: lockers with abundant loot may indicate an upcoming dangerous encounter.
