I pretty much stopped bothering doing those events when too many people were around after that. Waste of precious beta time.

    Oops, meant to quote Dead_Phoenix.

    That'd explain why my grenade launcher skill wouldn't go past level 4. :(

    If you combat roll twice you can shake off movement impairment debuffs that some mobs give you.

    When in the map or character menus you can access a third, incredibly important, menu with intel, pursuits, settings (which includes your logout function) and a host of other goodies - on XBox 360 simply pull the left trigger to bring it up.

    It's sometimes faster to fast travel to get to a new Ark Fall than it is to drive all the way there across a map.

    Cover is incredibly important.

    Ark Falls are a great way to replenish ammo of you're running low from doing regular side quests/missions.

    Certain locations have ammo dispensers, it's a good idea to get to know where they are.

    Vehicles handle a lot better once you level their relevant vehicle skill, you can do this just by driving around or entering races.

    Once you've fully leveled a weapon, switch it out for a new one of the same type to carry on increasing the relevant weapon skill.

    A BMG kills most regular mobs in 1 or 2 hits and has great splash damage.

    At EGO level 250 you open up Contracts, a reputation tab in your menu, and get reputation drops from mobs.

    Once you've completed the tutorial you end up in the starting area, if you turn right and run up the hill there's a vehicle, 3 enemies, and your first data recorder just inside the collapsed tunnel.

    In the perks selection menu, most perks near powers are relevant to that power, but in the middle of the layout are perks that increase drop rates, give you extra health and lots of other goodies.

    If you attach a scope to a pistol you bring up an FPS scope when using it rather than shooting from third person.

    If it throws a grenade at you, double roll to get out of the way.

    You can swim.

    You can revive anyone by running up to them and pressing and holding the relevant key (X on XBox 360).

    I learned Raider's dont't have any sort of "help you kill the Arkfall" system,

    I learned that if an Arkfall says "Raider Destruction" it's best to just walk away,

    I learned just how quickly Archer's can ruin your day if you let them live,

    I learned that finding an LMG with Siphon is F**KING IMPOSSIBLE!,

    I learned that this game hate's you if you don't have a chatpad,

    I learned that farscape still has the best alien swear words...

    Without an auto-magnetizing gimmick cover system. Thank. God.

    Good news! Felt let down not being able to use my favorite assault rifle/shotgun combo at risk of no skill gain.
