Combat Mk. 1
Craft the entry conduit, recognise the changing trial rooms and reach the Emperor’s loot hangar on Pendola Pass.

Capacity, shield compatibility and specialist slots belong in the same decision.

Recognise ARC, use cover and choose your engagements.

Updated equipment, flexible loot routes, camera quests and the October hotfixes.

Historical test rules: the beta ended, confirmed in update 2.2.0 on 20 October.

Agree on the objective, supplies and return conditions before deploying.

Choose your active pass and work towards weekly milestones.

Plan a small set of tools for a specific encounter.

Read recipes without confusing sale value, crafting cost and upgrade requirements.

Read tier changes, reserve materials and compare the build you will actually carry.

Give each supply a purpose before filling your quick-use slots.

Turn each return into preparation for the next run.

One clear goal. A kit you can replace. A way home.

Choose a giver, inspect prerequisites and prepare the right supplies.

Get past the Queen, insert three fusion cores and clear the yellow targets inside the Harvester.

Unlock your Outpost and understand research access.

PvE beta limits, Frigate hazards, corrected quest progress and skill interactions.

Hydra damage, Turbine conditions, traversal repairs, quest blockers and the end of the PvE beta.

Make room for the things you actually came for.

Board a Reclaimer, coordinate the lift and power cores, then release the cargo with your squad.

Understand branch choices before planning a build.
