First things to do when you load in
StepBefore you fire a single shot, redeem any available code from the main menu to collect your starting bonus. Then spend a minute getting comfortable with the two controls you will use constantly.
- Open the code box find the code entry field on the main menu and type your code exactly as it appears; each code works only once, so double-check before hitting confirm.
- Practice the flashlight tap G to toggle it on and off; you need it to spot enemies in dark areas before they spot you.
- Practice reloading press R after a firefight so you are never caught with an empty gun at the start of the next one.
- Invite a friend multiplayer is supported from the start, and a second player makes early missions noticeably easier.

How missions reward you and why that matters
Summary
Every mission you finish pays out rank progress and currency. Rank unlocks new equipment, and currency lets you buy it, so the two systems feed each other.
- Rank rises with each mission cleared and gates access to new weapons and gear.
- Currency earned from mission rewards and spent in the gear shop on weapons, armor, and other items.
- Arrest milestones arresting enemies counts toward badges at 1, 10, and 50 arrests, giving you clear short-term targets.
- Kill milestones reaching 10, 50, and 100 enemy kills marks your progress and shows where you stand against other players.
- Prestige sitting in the top one percent of players, prestige is a long-term goal that requires significant rank progress.
Weapons and gear choices
TipsThe shop offers multiple guns and gear items, each with different handling. You do not need to spend real money to compete — mission rewards are enough to progress through all content.
- Your starting weapon can clear early missions, so there is no need to rush toward an upgrade.
- Use the flashlight to locate enemies before you move into the open.

There is a code entry field on the main menu. Type the code exactly as it appears and confirm it. Each code can only be used once per account, so check your spelling before you submit.
I cannot find any enemies — what should I do?
Press G to turn on your flashlight and sweep the area before moving forward.
