Deathloop Essential Tips

INTRO
Flat out, Deathloop is a blast. However, it is one of the most unconventional AAA games I’ve played, and as such, it can be a little disorienting at first. From the time looping mechanic, to the mission structure, to the upgrade system, and the interconnected levels, there’s a lot to learn and discover. But since I had such a good time in this world, I couldn’t resist sharing my best tips and tricks in hopes that they help you have just as much fun as I did. So if you’re just diving in, here are 14 starting tips to help you get the most out of Deathloop.

Get and upgrade Charlie’s Strelak 50-50 ASAP
Once you get past the first couple of missions in Deathloop, you’re free to go after any one of the five visionaries that possess one of the game’s slabs - those are the items that provide you with your special, supernatural abilities. However, I recommend starting with the lead that will net you the Shift Slab. This will take you to Charlie, who not only has the Shift slab, which allows you to teleport, but he’ll also drop a rare Strelak 50-50 that comes with the extra perk of slowing enemies down once you shoot them. This remained one of my go-to weapons throughout the entire game. Even on stealth runs, if I got caught I could use the Strelak 50-50 to blast my way through just about any encounter. However, one downside is that it does take forever to reload. To remedy this, equip the 50-50 with the Speedloader trinket as soon as you find one. After that, you’ll have one of the best close ranged weapons in the entire game.

Stay Out of The Water
This is for people who are literally just starting out or who haven’t played a single minute of Deathloop. Just don’t go in the water. If you do, you’ll freeze and in Deathloop, that means you die instantly. Even if you find a shallow pool of freezing water inland, wading around will still cause damage. Thankfully, this doesn’t really limit exploration, but it did catch me by surprise in my first or second run through the island of Blackreef.

Play Curious
You can get through Deathloop pretty quickly if you just follow the main leads - leads by the way are the game’s core missions. But if that’s all you do, you’ll be missing out on a ton of extra content and gameplay. This world is packed with secrets to discover. You might find a door that requires a combination to open, or a bread crumb trail that leads to a powerful weapon. In one instance I saw this lit up letter O hanging from a crane. When I first saw it, it was just there. But when I revisited at a different time of the day, I noticed it had some motion detecting lasers pointing through the center. Naturally, I decided to jump through. I half expected to trigger a trap, but instead, jumping through the motion detector triggered a nearby container to open, revealing a powerful upgrade trinket. In another instance, I found a crank that I could pick up, but I had no idea where to use it. Well, a few hours later, I found a locked safe, but to open it I had to attach - you guessed it - a crank. These are just two of dozens and I mean dozens of the discoveries that wait for you on Blackreef, if you’re curious enough to seek them out.

Don’t forget to infuse slabs
This one may seem obvious, but I got burned by this early on. Once you obtain your first slab, you might think, great! One down, four to go. But it’s not quite that simple. Just like with guns and trinkets, you have to infuse slabs with risiduum between districts in order to keep from losing them between entire runs. Basically, when you leave a district, you’ll have the opportunity to infuse your slabs. This is important because if you obtain a slab, then run out of your reprise ability - those are your extra lives - and get killed all before infusing the slab, well that run is over and you’ll lose that slab.
