Choose one task
Before leaving, decide what you want to do: get acquainted with the route, find the necessary materials, or complete a specific task. Select equipment for this purpose and compare it with what you can replace. It’s easy to lose an expensive set without knowledge of the area. Don't take someone else's demonstration of a successful foray as a mandatory route for your first attempt.
Schedule your return in advance
Once on the surface, look at available escape options and monitor changing conditions. If the path becomes dangerous, the willingness to give up extra spoils helps preserve what has already been found. Evaluate not only the distance to the exit point, but also open areas, noise and possible opponents. The last minute of a sortie should not be the first moment the team discusses evacuation.
The group needs short messages
The game allows single play and groups of up to three participants. Agree on who leads the route and when the team stops searching for things. Report the direction of the threat and your state, not just your emotions after the hit. Too much distance between participants makes mutual assistance difficult. If one player's goal is different, agree on this back in the shelter.
Disassemble the loot after returning
Compare what you find with the current tasks of the workshop: some of the items may be useful for making or improving equipment, and some may be for sale. Don't get rid of unfamiliar materials just for the sake of space. Write down where you found the required resource and why the path was successful. A repeatable safe route provides more planning experience than constantly changing targets in the middle of a mission.
