Plan your next Prototype 2 session
Our independent guide breaks down Prototype 2’s core systems, offering observations that help you compare abilities, zones, and customization without promising hidden rewards. By focusing on documented mechanics, you can refine your playstyle and appreciate the game’s design choices.
01 / THE GUIDE
Tendril vs. Vehicle
Test the Tendril ability on different vehicle types, noting damage speed and any environmental effects. Compare results to see which targets yield the most efficient destruction.
- Experiment with Tendrils on both vehicles and enemy clusters to see which yields the biggest impact.
- Combine Tendril attacks with other mutations for chained combos.
02 / THE GUIDE
Mutation Synergy
Create two mutation builds—one emphasizing speed and another emphasizing size. Play through the same encounter with each to observe how movement and combat differ.
- Focus on a few complementary perks rather than spreading points thinly.
- Test disguise upgrades early to gauge their usefulness against different enemy types.
03 / THE GUIDE
Sonar Pulse Timing
Activate the sonar pulse in a crowded area versus a quiet one. Record how quickly enemies are detected and how that influences your approach.
- Use the sonar pulse in crowded zones to locate high‑value targets quickly.
- Switch disguises to bypass heavily guarded areas when possible.
04 / THE GUIDE
Zone Adaptation
Enter each of the three zones with a consistent loadout. Note enemy behavior, environmental hazards, and how the zone’s design impacts your strategy.
- Explore each zone to discover different enemy types and environmental hazards.
- Adjust your mutation loadout to suit the specific threats of each zone.
05 / THE GUIDE
Engine Scale Observation
Watch a behemoth’s interaction with the cityscape, then compare it to smaller infected units. Assess how the engine’s scale affects combat pacing and visual impact.
- Take advantage of the engine’s scale by targeting large behemoths for maximum visual impact.
- Use parkour moves to stay mobile when surrounded by Blackwatch forces.
