Dispatch Blizzards & Survival Guide: Tips & Walkthrough

Walkthrough

1
Playthrough 1: Focus on experiencing the story and completing as many achievements as possible. Pay attention to dialogue choices and potential romance options.
2
Playthrough 2: Aim for a different ending and romance outcome. If you previously pursued a romance, this playthrough might focus on a different character or no romance at all.
3
Replay Episodes 7 & 8: After completing your second playthrough, replay Episodes 7 and 8. This is necessary to achieve the 'We Can Just Be Friends' achievement by completing the game with no romances, even if you broke one off in Episode 7.
4
Hack Levels: The 'H4ack3d By R0b3rt' achievement requires successfully completing all 28 Hack Levels. These appear at specific points in the game. Due to the poor autosave system, failure often means restarting the entire Shift. Quitting to the Main Menu and reloading your save is the only way to retry.
5
Hero Management: Ensure your Z-Team Heroes are utilized on Calls whenever possible. Some episodes may restrict your available heroes, so be strategic about who you assign.

Tips

Hero Builds: While not strictly necessary for this guide, consider leveling Intelligence and Charisma for heroes like Sonar, as he is very powerful. Experiment with builds that suit your playstyle.
Spoiler Warning: This guide contains major spoilers. It is recommended to play the game blind first to enjoy the story without plot points being revealed.
Checkpoint System: Be aware of the game's limited checkpoint system. Plan your actions carefully, especially during Hack Levels and important Calls, to avoid unnecessary restarts.
Romance Arcs: Different romance choices lead to different endings and achievements. Plan your playthroughs to cover the various romance options and the 'no romance' achievement.
