About the game
You fight through ships, bases and open landscapes in a suit with its own powers. Shoot, swing melee weapons and use slides and jumps to move between enemies. Missions earn resources and blueprints for new equipment. Between fights, you change weapons, upgrade mods and decide what to collect next. Story quests reveal more about the Tenno and the factions around them.
Regular missions bring four players together, with powers that can protect or heal the squad. The separate Icebind mode supports six experienced players and requires a prepared group. Crossplay connects PC, consoles and mobile devices. Your equipment keeps growing across sessions, so this suits friends who enjoy repeated missions and comparing builds. There are many systems to learn before the choices become clear.
