	*Crowd control is key. Keep all your encounters one on one when possible and use skills such as [[Divert\|DIVERT]] to get rid of whatever wanders in. Up to three critters can be manageable if you can keep at least two of them stunned, prone, or otherwise incapacitated. More then that and the best move is likely to step into another room.		*Crowd control is key.

	*Aim for the eyes. As soon as you can reliably hit the eyes with AIMed shots (around level 25ish), go for it. Puncture crits to the eyes are the most reliable way to ensure a one-shot kill and with a high enough endroll, it's a guaranteed death crit.		*Aim for the eyes.

	As discussed in the [[New Players' Guide]], your stats are fundamental to the game's mechanics and will grow with you throughout your career. Stats are capped at 100 so players must balance early power with potential power. In your first thirty days you have five free opportunities to change your stats, so experiment with relative strengths. If you do not know what to adjust, then remove 10 points from Strength, Agility, and Dexterity, and put them in one of the following [[stat]] sets:		As discussed in the [[New Players' Guide]], your stats are fundamental to the game's mechanics and will grow with you throughout your career.
