◆ New here? Start with the path
01
Confirm you can run it
16 GB RAM and a GTX 1650 / RX 570 minimum. Check the full spec table first.
02
Buy & install
Currently −21% in the EA window; install the Proton BattlEye runtime if on Deck/Linux.
03
Build a cheap Trampler
Make a throwaway rig in the editor. You will lose your first few — that is fine.
04
Learn the loop in Voyage
No timer, low-tier loot. Get comfortable before risking a Storm Dive.

Read the guide →[ SQUAD ]◆ GUIDE
Crewing up: roles on one trampler
Driver, gunners, repair — how a 3–4 player crew splits jobs so the rig keeps moving and shooting at the same time.

What's worth extracting
Reading loot value at a glance so you do not burn a run hauling scrap when an Artifact was two rooms over.
