Make every route reversible

1. At spawn, identify one large landmark and the direction of the nearest practical extraction.
2. Move from cover to cover and name the last safe junction in your head.
3. Before interacting with an objective, identify the nearest hard cover and the route back.
4. After firing, move to cover before sorting your backpack or checking loot.
5. Once the objective is secured, take the known route out unless your resources are still comfortably above reserve.

Replace missing teammates with information

• Stop moving briefly to separate footsteps, monster audio, gunfire, and your own equipment noise.
• Use doors, stairwells, and corners to reduce the number of directions visible at once.
• Do not flee into an unexplored room or dense vegetation. Reverse through cleared ground.
• Assume extraction approaches can contain a final threat and protect one combat reserve for it.
• Treat a completed objective as a reason to reduce risk, not permission to fill every empty slot.
