Plan your next TROUBLESHOOTER: Abandoned Children session
This companion guide walks you through structured practice in Troubleshooter: Abandoned Children, from mastery experimentation to mission preparation, so you can get more out of the class system and the game's accessibility options.
01 / THE GUIDE
Role Comparison
Pick a hunter and an engineer for your company and track what each unlocks—beast taming versus drone crafting. Decide which unlocked content fits your current plans and prioritize recruitment accordingly.
- Read each new colleague's background carefully, since their motivations frame the missions you take on.
- Follow the cut scenes closely; they carry much of the story's context.
02 / THE GUIDE
Mastery Sourcing Log
Keep notes on where each mastery came from: leveling versus capture from enemies. Compare how enemy-sourced traits open build possibilities that standard level-up paths do not.
- Take masteries from enemies to create hybrid builds that pure leveling would not provide.
- Recruit varied roles early, since each new role unlocks additional playable content.
03 / THE GUIDE
Mission Briefing Drill
Choose two missions with clearly different circumstances. Write down the special conditions of each and sketch a class arrangement that addresses them before you deploy.
- Check each mission's unique circumstances before committing your team.
- Use cut scenes to pick up context that helps you understand upcoming objectives.
04 / THE GUIDE
Comfort Tuning
Try different text sizes and difficulty levels over a few missions. Note which combination keeps the game readable and challenging at a pace you enjoy, including with timed input disabled.
- If early missions feel too punishing, lower the difficulty—the game offers adjustable difficulty.
- Turn on subtitles if you want written reinforcement of the story dialogue.
05 / THE GUIDE
Connection Modes
Spend time in offline mode, then connect for online mode when multiplayer content is available. Record what differs between the two, and plan around announced maintenance windows so online sessions are not interrupted.
- Watch for advance announcements of maintenance so you are not caught without online mode.
- The unofficial Troubleshooter Discord channel is the developers' suggested place for more information.
