Mistakes to Avoid in Active Matter: The Beginner's Guide
Improve your raids now and earn credits by avoiding the five most common mistakes in this tactical extraction shooter.This guide explores map management, combat positioning, and inventory management to help you survive.
Each Active Matter raid is played alone or in small squads inside unstable quantum zones, in PvPvE raids where the objective is to collect active matter and other loot before finding a way out.There is no fixed time limit: some maps include a huge island with rusted Soviet industrial complexes and abandoned laboratories, and it is precisely there that the device escape missions, like the one on the Dogor map, are hidden.Moving quickly is as important as shooting well.
Monolith Tokens are worth more than collected gold
Completing run objectives yields Monolith Tokens, which are used to level up your Monolith, as well as additional Credits.Those who simply raid rooms without touching objectives progress much more slowly: true long-term advancement comes from that, not simply from the loot collected along the way.
Watch out for gravitational anomalies
Active Matter's maps change gravity and spatial topology in real time, before players' eyes.A corridor you used to walk can collapse vertically in a matter of seconds, and those who stand still to aim risk becoming disoriented just as another squadron descends upon them.
Where is the secret bunker?
Among the less publicized missions is the "Basement with Secrets" mission, which leads to a bunker hidden beneath one of the map's main structures.It doesn't appear on the most popular routes: you have to deviate from the obvious route to extraction to find it, but those who do are rewarded with loot rarely found elsewhere.
Research the builds before you enter the game
There's a community wiki, maintained by players themselves, with guides on the best weapons for beginners and the most reliable ones for experienced players.It's worth checking it out before a major draw, rather than finding out in the field that your chosen weapon can't keep up with the pace of the busiest PvPvE raids.
