Plan your next HOPE 01 session
Our independent guide examines HOPE 01’s core systems, offering observations that let you compare options without promising hidden advantages. Use these notes to refine how you approach exploration, combat, and crafting based on documented content.
01 / THE GUIDE
Mapping the Labyrinth
Sketch each hub you encounter and label major junctions. Compare your sketch with in‑game landmarks to see which routes reduce backtracking and improve navigation.
- Mark notable junctions early to avoid unnecessary backtracking.
- Take note of survivor locations for later reference.
02 / THE GUIDE
Weapon Attribute Comparison
Select two weapons with contrasting rate of fire and penetration. Record damage output in identical enemy encounters to gauge practical effectiveness of each attribute set.
- Test weapons in low‑risk areas before committing to a loadout.
- Consider how rate of fire and penetration complement each other against tougher foes.
03 / THE GUIDE
Fabricator Stock Management
Log items you scan versus those you later print. Notice patterns in which scanned items are most frequently needed for boss encounters or extended runs.
- Prioritize scanning items that appear rare in the environment.
- Maintain a balanced stock of ammunition and health gear.
04 / THE GUIDE
Survivor Decision Impact
After rescuing a survivor, note any narrative changes. Contrast runs where survivors are ignored to observe how endings diverge.
- Weigh the long‑term impact of each rescue before acting.
- Track which objectives you complete to see how they affect the ending.
05 / THE GUIDE
Audio Settings Optimization
Adjust the custom volume controls while fighting a boss. Observe how different levels affect cue recognition and overall immersion.
- Adjust the custom volume sliders to suit your audio environment.
- If you own a controller, test its input before a long session.
