Darwin Project: The best tips for survival

You can find tips on how to get out of the ice desert safely in the game "The Darwin Project" in the following article. Because armed only with a bow, an ax and brains you face the dangers and the other players.

Battle arena tips in Darwin Project

• "The Darwin Project" gives players the freedom to choose what to take into the arena.
• You can change this in the lobby or in the main menu of the game using a kind of tool wheel - since you are not tied to a time limit in the latter, you can take your time and tinker with it.
• First, you should take a closer look at the different types of arrows: For example, it is possible to use arrows that reveal the position of the enemy for a while, or fire arrows that do much more damage in exchange for range.
• A disadvantage is that you do not get five arrows at the beginning, but you only have to make them with the wood you have found.
• You can also experiment with traps, perks and your powers - the smoke bomb is particularly recommended.
• This way you can go unnoticed in the undergrowth if enemies are aware of you.

Chasing electronic items

• Her most valuable skills are electronic devices such as energy shields, a radar or a teleporter. The nice thing is that you don't have to give it up once you've made it.
• Similar to "Air Drops" in the battle royale competitor PUBG, the equipment is accordingly rare and fiercely contested. Skills are crucial for the outcome of the game - however caution is required.

Darwin Project: Armor is essential

• The key to being as good as possible at the beginning of a match is to look for resources. Your priority should be on three pieces of leather and some wood so that you can build armor.
• This will block the first attack - similar to shield potions in Fortnite. You will then have enough time to turn the tables and emerge victorious from the fight.
• Since it is very difficult to restore health in "The Darwin Project", you should take appropriate precautions.
• At best, you should always have some leather and wood with you to build new armor in an emergency.

The cold gets you small

• While your health bar should be a priority, not just another player is killing you: the cold can also kill you.
• At best, always carry a log with you so that you can start a fire if necessary.
• You make a coat with a little leather - because a convict's uniform provides only limited protection against the cold winds.
• The latter is more recommendable, since a fire reveals your position to opponents from a great distance and you make an easy target.
• Your stamina is also not infinite - so you should always have a look at the bar. Getting into a fight when you need to gasp is a sure death sentence.

Pay attention to where you use tools

• Crafting items will take a long time in Darwin's Game. Other players will also want to find you based on the resulting traces.
• After each use of tools, a hint is dropped so that other players can track your movements and your current position.
• If you want to avoid this, you should only unpack the tool case behind terrain and in places that are difficult to find. This will make it harder for your opponents to track you down.

Red circles and hidden radars

• If you notice a small, weakly pulsating circle in the distance in the game, this is an indication that there is an enemy in this direction.
• There is, however, another method of locating enemies: in some of the rare buildings there are hidden radars that reveal the position of every enemy.
• The gameplay of "The Darwin Project" rewards an aggressive style of play - so you can clean up properly in the winter landscape.

Take apart reindeer

• Even if the animals are only made of metal, this is a very effective survival tactic, because inside there are valuable objects such as traps, arrows or other useful objects. A first aid kit or an energy drink can also be found underneath.
• You may already have noticed that the latter are rarely found outside of other players or boxes, so the reindeer are more important than expected.

Leave your microphone and that of the others on

• The noise found in the lobby of most Battle Royale offshoots is annoying and the microphone is often off for a reason.
• However, this game makes it necessary to talk to the competition - one of them is the almost almighty game master. This can give you warmth, ammunition, health and even immortality - why shouldn't you be a little slimey?
• Even though many game leaders choose to make the game much more difficult with bombs and other inconveniences, there are still some who can be talked about.
• So don't be afraid to ask for help or a little support - because many tend to support the underdog.
• You can also ask to have the hunt for yourself started. Because if you survive the chaos, you will no longer be able to save yourself from resources and the number of opponents will have shrunk significantly.

Use the lobby for training

• Since there are only a few weapons available, you should be able to use what you have as well as possible.
• While the game itself is the best practice, you can let off steam in the lobby to your heart's content. Master the ax by attacking your still invulnerable companions.
• There are bright, colorful balls above the lobby - try hitting them with arrows. The best players manage to puncture them unerringly even while jumping.
• In this way you can also minimize the risk of being hit yourself.
