Player created guides

# Guide for fellow Dysterra survivors!

Today we are going to look at the starting aspect for fresh players. Guide is created with PVE focus, but it can be used on PVP server with little of customisations and personal preferences.

## Weapons

Once you start in Dysterra your first steps should focus on obtaining an improved weapon. Recommendation: SMG SS88 Spitter.

It requires 30 common metal and 5 common microparts. Metal can be found as loose loot on the ground or you can use your arm and mine of the following objects.

Microparts are mostly from basic enemies and all kinds of containers

Once this is done, your primary concern would be to have surplus of common metal, so you are able to create a physical ammo for your gun. Do not forget to pickup any food as in the begining you will be hungry alot. If your hunger is satiated, gun ready - start exploring the map.

Second recommendation is the Energy SMG EGX-300 simply for the fact that it accepts almost all attachments, its not expensive to craft and with exception of energy resistant PVP armours, its devastating PVE/PVP.

Next level is very depending on your playstyle and PVP/PVE focus. Jack of all trades and most recommended is the Assault Rifle DVG14. You will use it the most and then of course, strictly PVP weapons as Energy Sniper RIFLE EVLA-6K or close quarters Shotfun RF-9 comes into consideration as well. If you are new, stick to DVG - if you know how that works, feel free to try other weapons.

## Events you must attend

First and foremost stop is the Hyena Supply base in the middle of map. Twice a day there is an one hour lasting event with Supply Dispenser which can kickstart your journey on Arrat island. If you see timer and small circle as depicted on screenshot bellow, run to the closest Hyena Portal (red on map, with humans as enemies). Kill the Hyenna Shielder near the gate and obtain "Supply base portal acess key". Keep in mind that you will face enemies and frostbite, so trigger discpline and seldom usage of any heals you can get your hands on. Do not forget to loot all dispensers, as per screenshots below. Dispensers ready to loot are shining red.

## Building order

If you dont get your hands on Hyena Supply base event, you can start looting any Hyena bases and abandoned buildings. Depending on location of your base, you probably want to have buildings in following order Core -> Transmitter -> Workbench -> Recycler -> Forge. Transmitter helps to get the basic parts for little of Terrasite transmitted. Obviously if you have transmitter nearby on map, you can skip Transmitter. Arguably the Recycler is first thing to build after Workbench, simply as it will increase your ability to get all kinds of materials, even fine metal.

Fine metal seems to be first real challenge as you will need dozens of those. It is a product within forge, but you will primarilly attack Orbis Robots in all kind of places to get your first pieces. Notable mention is the Satellite station, which is widely farmed in the start of the game, by everyone. You might combat radiation on regular Orbis bases, that is probably why people prefer Satellite station as it has no radiation. Mobs are not to be underestimated though - it is recommended to stay at border of it, so you can run off easily. It takes little bit practice and it is smart to fight drones at gates rather than wonder closer to EMP. Drones are few, les dangerious and juicy with all kinds of loot.
