SURVIVE THE INVASION
Each mission has its own route. Some use a pass; others need a rescue, reactor shutdown or power relays to open the next area. Read the objective and door labels. Cracked panels hide equipment and loot chests. Missions 3–9 have three secrets each. Open chests with E for a random power-up and a rare points jackpot.
Free your crew, destroy the crystal engine, recover the egg clutch, then follow the green EXTRACTION beacon. The map marks it with a large E. Once the objectives are complete, the HUD shows direction and distance. Press E on the platform to leave.
Headshots deal 1.5× damage and earn 1.5× kill points. Ten kills without taking damage activate 2× points until you are hurt. Finish a mission in under 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 minutes for a 5× / 4× / 3× / 2× / 1.5× mission score multiplier.
Press V to use Geckroids for +60 health. You can carry two. Press H to use a field medkit.
G throws a grenade after a short wind-up. It bounces and explodes after a fuse. Keep your distance. Use cover, dodge enemy shots and use your trait power. The Toe-Tapper always has reserve ammo.
On a touchscreen, use the left stick to move, drag the right side to look, and use the action buttons.
Fine tuning.
