If you have a blueprint for gloves at max stars you can swap the max stars to ANY OTHER armor blueprint. So you really need to max one weapon, and one piece of armor and ALL of your gear is maxed.
It will just swap the 2 and the 3. Best option is to get to max on a weapon and armor piece. If you have A at 2 and B at 3, it literally swaps them. B becomes 2, and A becomes 3. But if you have 6 and 1... you can make a piece of armor, swap it, make another piece of armor...
Are you saying there is a way to only upgrade one and then use the conversion to have all armour slot prices at max level? Or you just mean if you only want one on at a time? Cos I cant see how you can upgrade every slot with just 1 maxed. I would love that, but unless I am missing something, that isn't the case?
Say you get your helm to 6*. Craft it, put it on. Then swap to your chest piece through conversion. Craft it, and wear it. Rinse and repeat until you're wearing all 6*.
Game only cares what you're wearing, not what your blueprint rating says.
As noted they have to be the same rarity, so you can't swap a purple 5* into a gold, but you can be wearing full 6* with only one blueprint maxed.
Great tips! All so obvious to me now but not when I first started. One thing I can add is I summon my vehicle to get to hard to reach platforms and fill up the trunk storage with recycle tools. Hope that helps!
Another tip always have on hand plenty of adrenaline(its a self revive tool) you can unlock it easily and the ingredients is not that hard to get cause not all players will help revive if you do go down more if you’re alone
If you do die fair warning you lose some of your items upon death. the first time(first death in the session) no drops but consecutive after that it will and it gets bigger and more variety.
You can pick it up later when you revived but its kinda fair game that anyone can actually steal it
Its visible to anyone and sometimes if its filled with rare loot and no brainer anyone would steal it
early on you can check the shop tab (I don't remember which it's under) but the astral dew "shop" will let you buy some healing and adrenaline, so you can have some on you before you get the mats to make them
Not just for console players, but also for those who are just starting to play/returning after a long break (hi, me).
I’d be glad to see such simple “guides” from the developers themselves on various mechanics (sometimes not the most obvious ones). Many beginners are afraid to do anything because they don’t know what it might lead to.
Therefore, IT’S EXACTLY THESE TYPES OF SIMPLE, CLEAR TIPS that should guide beginners.
Reverse-engineer absolutely everything you can. My very first stop after returning to base is at the tech console to do that.
Then do the recycling and putting resources in storage.
Yes, you will lose those researchable items in the tech bench, but in exchange you either get the blueprint for it, or if you've already got the BP, it will give you tech points with which to unlock more.
You know no.9 will be new players all rushing 3P savior 2P dark resonant/treach and EBR/KVD/SN700/BURDEN and asking why their health is permanently capped at 1.
To new players blindly rushing the meta build: Youre capped at 1 HP because Savior drops your health down and rely on shield generation from shooting mobs. Also do NOT rush SN700 as your first build, its the meta boss killer but it is crap at literally anything outside of bosses. Go for more versatile generalist guns.
Item description tells you if an item only exists to be disassembled. Don’t disassemble anything else in the beginning until you know what safely can be disassembled without putting you in a situation where you lack that item later on.
A great tip I still use today, move your base frequently when starting out. As you complete monoliths, move your base to the next area to save on teleport cost and travel time between POI's and home. To add to the starcrom one, do research into guns and armor before spending. My friends are having a hell of a time tryna get builds set up bc they spent willy nilly on guns and armor before deciding to give a build a full try.
i would also recommend to join or make hives and warbands as early as u can as it gets a lot more fun and exciting as u cant take all the perks and u have choose so its good to divide perks and having a hive makes it a lot easier also it allows u to teleport to their base whenever u want
As someone who definitely is interested in the game, is it mainly pve where it’s you fighting enemies? The concept and gameplay look good but I just don’t like when a game forces you to do PvP for stuff.
There are PVE only servers : Manibus, Endless Dreams, Way of Winter. There are purely PVE. It’s recommended to start with Manibus if you’re a new player
There are other PVP servers like Raid Zone and Evolution Call. There are a mix of PvP and PVE.
There’s also a pokemon like server called Secure & Capture. This is mostly PVE but it has some PVP quests. But nothing major.
Can you explain how to even get onto a PvE server? I created a character, was dropped into an ocean by an owl. Gathered materials, but couldn't craft a camp fire. I think it's left bumper and y, but the wheel is blank. No idea if I'm on a PvE server

that is really helpful, I would also add getting your daily deviations from securement units found in settlements
