15 Things You MUST Know

Vidya comin soon. Maybe. For now just a text guide.

1. Infinite Climb

Advanced users can use Samir’s weapon’s Aerial hold attack to gain even more height; after the jump, hold Left Click until you kick upwards and quickly Right Click at the peak of the kick before heading downwards.

2. Jetpack Dash

While gliding with your jetpack, perform a dodge to gain distance forward. At the end of the dash distance, reactivate your jetpack. Repeating this process with your dashes will allow you to gain considerable distance while gliding.

3. Party Teleport

On the right side of the screen click the flag icon to open the party member list. Clicking the third button (icon of two people) will teleport you to the location and line (channel) of the party leader. If you are the party leader, the teleport button is replaced with a summon button which sends party members a request to come to you.

Use this to form parties to teleport to world bosses.

It’s recommended that party leaders enable the option to auto-accept party join requests, accessible by clicking the flag icon a second time.

4. Free Colossus Arms (SSR Relic)

The free SSR relic Colossus Arms can be obtained on Day 1 from the Navia Ecological Park hidden quest line. You can also obtain the Omnium Beast VII and Voyager mounts.

5. Hidden Free Pity

Your 30th gold nucleus pull will guarantee an SSR weapon. If you wish to reroll until you get the perfect first pull, aim for this number.

6. Relic and Weapon Sets

You can create 3 relic sets that you can swap with the G key (on PC).

Relics like Spacetime Rift, Drone, Couant, Magnetic Storm, Hovering Cannon, Type V Armor (for the explosion after ejecting), and Missile Barrage can be useful even when activated just before an enemy spawns, such as in Bygone Phantasm or Frontier Clash. Make use of this to maximize your DPS.

Weapon Sets

Weapon sets can also be made, but there’s no shortcut to swap them (on PC press N to quickly open the menu). You can swap while out of combat to quickly heal up (i.e. between waves in Frontier Clash or before a dungeon boss) or if you need to switch weapons. Matrices cannot be changed inside dungeon instances.

7. Exploring with the full world map

The full world map provides a slightly higher field of view than the minimap. Consistently checking it while exploring can help you find exploration points that are just out of view of your minimap.

8. Farm dungeons for weekly activity

Once you’ve exhausted your Vitality, you can still farm dungeons to accumulate weekly activity points. If you can only play a few days a week, this is especially useful for you. The only one you can’t really do without Vitality is Omnium Beacon. It’ll take some time, but if you do everything that gives activity, you can cap the weekly activity boxes in 2 or 3 days.

9. Aerial Attacks do more damage

This can vary per weapon, but in general aerial attacks do more damage. On the other hand, they leave you more vulnerable, consume endurance, and sometimes will get you caught in a cat-and-mouse chase with a moving enemy, so only aerial attack in certain situations, like when a boss is facing another player.

10. Aerial Discharge Skill

Using your Discharge skill leaves you vulnerable to a lot of damage as you are locked in place during the animation. Double jumping before casting Discharge skills can help you avoid most enemy attacks. Note that this may not be as effective on weapons that have a Discharge that slams downward, such as KING’s and Meryl’s.

11. Passcode Terminals

12. BREAK THE GOD DAMN SHIELD

If you don’t break a boss’ shield, they will use an ultimate of their own, which, depending on the boss, can be ignored or can be completely lethal to your team. In either case, shields reduce the damage you deal to the enemy and usually there are some juicy shield break buffs and effects that are worth pursuing, so switch to your shield break weapon and mash that left click.

13. Tap Revive

Fallen teammates can be revived by interacting with their limping body. However, you can actually just tap the interact key and dash away, and they will still be revived. This is a superior way of reviving players as you are able to continue fighting, are less vulnerable to enemy attacks, and can quickly revive multiple players.

14. Sending your coordinates

With the chat box open, click the small tab that looks like a Google Maps pin icon next to the send button. That will attach your current coordinates to the message and instantly send it—other players can click on these coords to see where you are on the world map. If you’re asking for help or guiding someone, it can come in handy.

15. Daily Free Simulacra Gifts

On Cetus island go straight past the tent in the middle and there will be an arcade machine near Slayer. You can play the claw machine 3 times a day and earn gifts that raise simulacra affinity/friendship. The prizes you can get are fixed, but the purple fox is a purple tier gift. I’m not sure if the black robot cat (another purple tier) is even grabbable as it always slips out of the claw.

Another opportunity for free gifts is at the NPC Hopkins, found at the Black Market (near the world boss Apophis). Speak to him and you will be presented with a choice between two mystery boxes. There is a chance of getting purple tier gifts from this daily.

Bonus: Unstuck button

If you ever get stuck somewhere, fall out of map bounds, or get a weird movement glitch, in the general settings there is an unstuck button near the logout button.
