Tips
  • Understanding terms like minimap (a small map displayed on the HUD (heads-up display — the on-screen icons showing health, ammo and the minimap)), radar (detects nearby enemies), HUD (Heads-Up Display showing vital information), cover (objects that block attacks), headshot (a critical hit to an enemy's head), cutscene (a non-interactive story sequence), checkpoint (a save point), wanted level (indicates enemy pursuit), DLC (Downloadable Content), NPC (Non-Player Character), respawn (reappearing after defeat), waypoint (a marker on the map), and free roam (ability to explore without specific objectives) is crucial for mastering combat.
  • Pay close attention to Sentinel Upgrades and Meta-Chips to enhance your units' effectiveness.
  • The 'Kaiju Statistics' section provides vital data for planning your approach against different enemy types.
