5 Tips and Tricks for mastering Arkane’s latest installment, Redfall

Redfall, however, does have some significant problems that new players should be aware of, particularly those who are starting the game at launch. These issues may be resolved or improved in future updates, but for now, players should pay attention to the following Redfall tips to help them navigate the game.

1. Can’t hop in between

Redfall’s gameplay is split into two distinct areas on the island’s coast. However, once you’ve completed the first area, you won’t be able to return to it, and the same goes for the final area once you’ve beaten the last boss. While Redfall does give you a warning about not being able to return to the first area after completing the final mission, it may be easy to miss the notification that the final boss will immediately throw you into a new game+ mode. To identify the final mission, you can look for the mission table where it will be positioned to the right-hand side of the window. Although it may be tempting to reveal the names of the missions, it’s best not to as it could be considered a spoiler. Once you complete all the missions, the window will be full, signaling your readiness to move to the next area.

2. Choose the right class

If you’re having trouble choosing a class in Redfall, here are some tips on each hero to help you decide.

Redfall players on consoles may experience an odd interaction with Xbox controllers out of the box. Fortunately, there is an “input response” preset in the controller menu that can be adjusted to improve joystick handling. By default, the motion curve on joystick pulls is too steep, resulting in abrupt turning speeds. However, setting the input response to “low” will result in a much smoother curve between slow and fast turning. On the other hand, setting it to “high” will cause maximum turn speed with minimal flick of the stick.

It’s worth noting that nobody is likely to be doing fancy trick shots in Redfall, but adjusting the input response can still make gameplay more comfortable. After changing this setting, you may also need to adjust the controller sensitivity to compensate. Setting the input response to “low” and increasing the controller sensitivity to around 3.5 should make Redfall feel more like a typical console FPS. Overall, players can fine-tune their controller settings to achieve a more optimal gameplay experience.

5. Think twice when dismantling weapons

Redfall’s loot system can be both basic and frustratingly essential. The game’s enemies scale up to your level, rendering your progression moot. However, your weapons will decrease in effectiveness as you progress, forcing you to seek out new ones. To find new weapons, it’s best to visit the game’s vampire nests, marked by blue door icons on the map. Legendary items are more likely to be found in the vaults that spawn after breaking a nest’s heart at the end of a battle event.

While all weapon types are important in Redfall, some are essential tools for dealing with specific threats. For example, a UV beam is a crucial weapon for snapping freezing a group of melee-range vampires, while a stake gun deals massive damage to vampires from a distance and can be used for sniping or clearing interiors. Regular guns are not effective against vampires, and you’ll want to have at least one staked weapon equipped at all times.

One thing to be cautious of is accidentally salvaging essential or high-quality weapons. Unfortunately, there is no way to “pin” a weapon to prevent it from being salvaged, but you can hold down the left trigger to make salvaging a little more difficult.
