What should I read first?
Start with First Hour Starter Route, Mission Routes, and S-Rank Scoring Checklist. These answer how to play, where to go, and why scores drop.
What should beginners bring?
Do not run five rifles and nothing else. Cover mirror gun, wedges, breaching, flash or CS, less-lethal control, and a restraint/evidence role. For scoring, read Less-Lethal Loadout Route.
Why is my score low after completion?
Common causes are missed reports, missed weapons, missed civilians, early soft completion, or force penalties. Start with Why You Did Not Get S Rank, then recheck Report to TOC Before Ending.
How do I stabilize Commander Mode?
Use simple orders first and avoid burning the same AI officers through repeated high-stress missions. For rotation, therapy, and role planning, read Commander Mode Starter Plan.
How should video guides be used?
Use videos for space, rhythm, and entry order, not as replacements for written routes. Start with Video Guides; every video page includes written steps and pause points.
