Essential Wasteland Survival Directives
- Fast Extraction Looting: Use Shift+Click for instant inventory transfer to minimize exposed vulnerability at containers.
- Receiver Durability Threshold: Never enter high-tier military bunkers with a firearm below 50% durability to prevent fatal mid-firefight jams.
- Stealth & Flashlight Discipline: Nighttime mutants track light beams and unsuppressed muzzle reports within an extended audio radius.
- Corpse Recovery Route: In Explorer Mode, backpack beacons remain persistent after death—clear surrounding perimeter before retrieval.
