To ensure your first few missions aren't your last, heed these words of wisdom:

- Stick Together: Never stray far from your squad. Isolation is a death sentence.
- Manage Toughness: Always prioritize keeping your Toughness up. It's your first line of defense.
- Use Cover: Don't stand in the open. Utilize environmental cover to avoid ranged fire.
- Prioritize Targets: Deal with special enemies (e.g., Trappers, Flamers) first, then elites, then hordes.
- Conserve Ammo: Melee is your friend. Use ranged weapons for specials and elites.
- Ping Everything: Use the 'T' key to ping enemies, resources, and objectives for your team.
- Revive Allies: A downed ally is a liability. Prioritize reviving them when safe.
- Learn Enemy Weaknesses: Headshots are often critical.
These tips will lay a solid foundation for your journey through Tertium.
