HRV:
The first in-game tool that players should learn how to use effectively is the Hyper Reality Visor or HRV for short. Pressing V will activate HRV enabling the player to see through walls, locate opponents, team mates, weapon depots, and even detect a weak point in the structure of the Hardsuit. While HRV is active, the weapon depots will glow bright yellow with the opposing team glowing orange. Keep in mind that once the player has used HRV it will take a short period of time for the ability to recharge before it can be used again. Knowing the location of the enemy is vital to your success. Pairing good communication with the extremely useful HRV will lead your team to victory.
Weapon Depots:
Weapon depots are small kiosks scattered throughout each map where players can spend combat points earned in battle to obtain upgraded weapons, refill ammo and health and deploy the obliterating Hardsuit. Once you have used your HRV to locate a weapon depot, press E to pull up the list of items available to purchase. You can scroll through the items available to check out the CP cost, and then press the space bar to make your selection. The weapon depot loadouts are customizable and can be changed in the armory. Buyer beware, while shopping for your upgrade you are prone to being shot down, allowing another player to steal your purchase.
Hardsuit:
Armed with a minigun and railgun the Hardsuit is the ultimate weapon. Once you have acquired the laser designator at the weapon depot, make your way outside to deploy. Find an empty spot on the ground with a clear descent path from the sky, and then hold down fire for a few seconds to trigger the drop. This would also be a good time to activate HRV to ensure there aren’t any lurking players waiting to shoot you down and steal your suit once it lands. Although the Hardsuit is incredibly difficult to take down, it isn’t impossible to destroy. The flamethrower will effectively burn the opponent out of the suit allowing you to steal it once the player has been eliminated. If there isn’t a depot nearby to purchase a rocket launcher or a flamethrower, simply use the HRV to detect a randomly generated weak point in the suit. Shooting the weak point will cause the suit it to take ten times normal damage.
