Before launch

Prepare once, then move mission by mission.

These four checks prevent most restarts, missed pickups, and co-op selection problems.

  1. Set the runChoose standard or Remix, difficulty, active Skulls, and the intended rally point before using a route.
  2. Build two jobsCarry one answer for shields or armor and one dependable finisher; replace either only when the next space demands it.
  3. Open the pickup routeEvery mission contains three hidden Skulls and one Terminal. Preview those four stops before crossing a one-way objective.
  4. Protect co-op progressUse the player with the needed missions and rally points as fireteam leader, then stop at durable checkpoints.
