1

Read the objective board

Note the map, optional objectives and any difficulty restrictions before anyone enters.

2

Take a basic first trip

A strong first loadout is a light source plus two information tools such as thermometer/EMF/video camera. In multiplayer, split evidence tools across the team instead of duplicating everything.

3

Know the exit plan

On harder difficulties, identify hiding spots and the breaker location early. Do not wait for the first hunt to learn the map.
