Plan your next Active Matter session
Our independent guide breaks down Active Matter’s core loops, offering observations that let you compare strategies across its unique systems. By noting patterns in loadout choices, resource handling, base development, map navigation, and combat modes, you can refine your approach without hidden shortcuts.
01 / THE GUIDE
Loadout Planning
Compare how different weapon sets perform when anomalies alter gravity, noting recoil and mobility changes. Recording these observations helps decide which loadout best survives each loop.
- Plan loadout based on expected anomalies.
- Coordinate extraction timing with squad.
02 / THE GUIDE
Active Matter Management
Track the quantity and type of active matter collected per raid, then note which replicated items provide the most useful upgrades at your base.
- Prioritize active matter before engaging enemies.
- Secure a safe extraction point after harvesting.
03 / THE GUIDE
Base Upgrade Prioritization
List available weapon and gear upgrades, then evaluate how each improves combat effectiveness versus the active matter cost, allowing balanced investment decisions.
- Focus upgrades on weapons you use most.
- Balance gear improvements with active matter reserves.
04 / THE GUIDE
Map Navigation Techniques
Mark locations of Soviet industrial sites and science labs, then compare frequency of gravitational anomalies nearby to identify relatively stable corridors.
- Watch for sudden gravity shifts.
- Use map landmarks to navigate anomalies.
05 / THE GUIDE
PvP Engagement Strategies
Observe enemy squad compositions during raids and record which weapons succeed against active‑matter‑enhanced foes, informing future loadout adjustments.
- Communicate squad roles before entering.
- Prioritize enemy players when active matter is scarce.
