Plan your next PIGFACE session
Our independent guide dives deeper into PIGFACE’s core systems, offering observations that help you understand how each element interacts without promising hidden advantages. By comparing documented features, you can make informed choices about loadout, progression, and control preferences.
01 / THE GUIDE
Narrative Context
Read the opening monologue and note how it frames each mission as a forced task. Compare this motivation to other shooters where objectives are optional, highlighting the impact on player urgency.
- Observe how the opening dialogue establishes motivation before the first firefight.
- Compare the hostage‑style premise to other revenge‑driven shooters for thematic contrast.
02 / THE GUIDE
Weapon Variety
Select three distinct weapon types—rifle, hammer, grenade launcher—and record how each changes the pacing of a combat encounter. Observe the sandbox freedom the game advertises.
- Try different weapon categories to feel the impact of each on the game’s speed.
- Notice how the lack of weapon constraints influences your approach to each mission.
03 / THE GUIDE
Gear Investment
Track the amount of money earned per contract and the cost of items in the Black Market. Analyze whether spending on defense (kevlar) or offense (grenades) yields better survivability.
- Balance offensive firepower with defensive gear like kevlar vests for survivability.
- Compare the cost versus utility of heavy weapons versus lighter firearms.
04 / THE GUIDE
Mask Benefits
Unlock two different masks and play identical sections with each. Note any differences in combat performance, confirming the claim that masks enhance killing ability.
- Track which masks you have unlocked to plan future purchases.
- Observe any gameplay differences when switching masks during runs.
05 / THE GUIDE
Controller Comparison
Play a mission using a DualShock controller, then repeat with a DualSense. Compare comfort, button layout, and any haptic feedback to decide which suits your style.
- Test both DualShock and DualSense controllers to see which feels more comfortable.
- Utilize Family Sharing to let friends try the game without buying a separate copy.
