Dark and Darker just went free to play attracting a lot of new players to experience the FPS dungeon PVPVE adventure. It is a loot and extract videogame but in dungeons with medieval weapons and sorceries. Moreover, there are eight different classes from which players can choose their starting class to begin the adventure.
However, as there is no tutorial at all in the game, it can be frustrating for players to understand what to exactly do to survive rather than losing all of the equipped gear over and over again. This guide includes various essential tips and tricks that will help the new players to Dark and Darker.
Best Tips & Tricks for New Players in Dark and Darker
Starting as a new player will initially bring you to the character creation where you have to create your character and select a class. Now, the first essential thing is choosing the correct class for your playstyle. Every class has a unique playstyle that can advantage you during the raids, and it brings us to our first tip which is choosing the best beginner class.
Best Beginning Class for New Players
The best beginning class for the new players in Dark and Darker is the Cleric as it has the potential to cast spells and wield close-range weapons. Most of the beginning players will either choose Barbarian or Fighter due to higher strength and speed, but they can be easily tackled with Cleric due to his capability of casting powerful spells.
Utilize the spells to buff yourself before every fight and then use the spells for ranged attacks and when you are close, use the shield to block and a close-range weapon to finish them off. Having the advantage of casting spells will make things a lot easier for you.
Best Maps to Play Solo and Initially
There are three different maps that you can play in Dark and Darker either on Normal Mode (Free Version) or High Roller (Paid Version). If you are playing Solo or with friends but have just started playing, it is best to play The Goblins Cave map on Normal Mode as it is by far the easiest and will provide you with enough loot and gear to get both gold and items.
It is recommended to play The Golden Caves until you have surpassed Level 10 because both The Frost Mountain and The Ruins of Forgotten Castle have high-level enemies that are difficult to tackle on low-level and low-tier gear.
Learn the Extraction Points
One of the most essential mechanics of Dark and Darker that new players must grasp quickly is the extraction points. There are two different types of extraction points in Dark and Darker, one-time extraction and portal extraction.
The one-time extraction is a sort of a secondary and easier way of extracting from the map but it is only for one player. Meaning that if you or any other player in your match chooses to extract from a one-time extraction point, it will be closed for all the other players. The one-time extraction points are easy to find as they are marked on the map with blue markers and they are usually a staircase exit or a rope exit.
The portal extraction points are the main extractions in Dark and Darker as they are in the game from the very beginning. These are the blue portals open by interacting with a blue stone found at certain locations on each map. If you familiarize yourself with the maps that you play the most, you will be able to find them easily and make an extraction safely. Unlike the one-time extraction, the portal extraction remains in the match until the timer for the match hits zero, and all the players can use it to extract which makes it a bit of a hotspot especially, in the remaining couple of minutes of the match.
Explore, Watch the Timer, and Extract
You need to explore all of the rooms in the dungeon from your beginning area to find all the valuable items, gear, and weapons. Break the vases and boxes, and loot the chests to get all kinds of loot. However, keep an eye on the timer on the bottom right of the screen and try to make an extraction at the 2-minute mark especially, if you are a beginner. You need to extract any loot you find to make the most out of it.
Complete the Quests
After your initial couple of successful runs, head into the Quests tab to accept the quests for the merchants. Each merchant will require a certain thing that you need to hand over to them and in return, you will earn great rewards and level up the merchants so that they can have better items in their stocks.
Sell the Valuables and Unnecessary Gear Items
After every successful raid, you will bring various valuables and gear items. The valuables are mainly for selling to get yourself some gold, and you can also sell the unnecessary gear items for some more gold. However, each merchant deals with certain type of items so you will have to sell the valuables to The Collector and the gear items to the Weaponsmith.
