Complete Beginner’s Guide
Gamemodes
Currently, there are two game modes in-game that you can play (Dino Survival and Savage Gauntlet). The main game mode that you’ll play is called Dino Survival. In this game mode, there will be two squads of five that compete to become the first team to finish the objective. There will be two indicators that show your team and the opponent’s team’s progress.
You will see the appearance of an AI called the Leviathan, this AI will give your team directives that you need to complete before your opponent do. These missions are quite varied, involving both PvP and PvE contents. Some situations force you to fight against one another in direct combat, while others also require you and the enemy team to work together to fight against a major foe.
As you progress, these missions will change based on your progression through the game. Your experience will always be different with each match that you play. By playing, you’ll unlock new story sequences along with experience points to increase your player and Exosuit levels.
When you play, pay attention to your interface, since this allows you to keep track of you and your team’s health as well as ability cooldowns. To the top left of your screen, you’ll also be able to see a map. Whenever an enemy spawns that you need to defeat, you will be able to see it there.
Savage Gauntlet presents a weekly PvE game mode that enables teams of five players to undertake time-limited missions, yielding enticing rewards upon completion. The missions can be replayed to achieve superior rankings and unlock even more valuable rewards.
Final Mission
Your team will eventually reach the last mission. For the last mission, your task will be to Escort the Data Key (in PvP mode). This is an escort the payload kind of game mode where you need to stay on the cart to make it advance. As you go deeper into the area, you’ll face dinosaurs trying to stop you while you escort the data key.
Near the end, you’ll also collide with the enemy team. This is when the PvP content starts. You will want to communicate and teamwork with your teammates to win these fights.
