Step-by-Step

Understand the core loop

Mistfall Hunter is an extraction ARPG. Enter a map, fight PvE enemies and other players, gather loot, then reach an extraction point to bank it. If you die first, the carried loot stays on the map.

Your first two hours

  1. Pick Mercenary for a forgiving start with strong survivability.
  2. Run a low-risk map; loot chests and safe mobs instead of forcing fights.
  3. Extract early. A small safe haul beats a greedy death. Read the extraction guide.
  4. Spend banked loot on survivability-focused camp upgrades. See camp upgrades.

Death penalty — read this twice

Everything brought into a raid and everything picked up remains at risk until extraction. “Extract early, extract often” is the most useful early habit.
