It isn't a secret that the Callisto Protocol launch has been a bit rocky due to optimization issues (particularly on the PC). Before you hop on and brave the dead moon of Callisto, make sure you've adjusted your settings to address any immersion-breaking frame skips and game crashes.

While the game may be hands-on during its opening sequences, tips will start becoming few and far between as you progress deeper into Black Iron Prison. Make sure to brush up on the basics using our detailed guides to avoid the frantic pace of in-combat tutorials.
With the absence of a world map and navigation markers, beginners will sometimes end up lost and not knowing their next objective. If you find yourself in this position, you can simply open your inventory and check the top left corner of the interface to see your current objective.

Don't be afraid to reload into an earlier save, especially if you find yourself struggling with your current checkpoint. If you find yourself needing more ammo or even just a better health pool before fighting bosses like Two-Head, then bite the bullet and reload an earlier save with access to a Reforge Station.
Sometimes, big adjustments like this can save you from having to brute force your way through a difficult fight. This is particularly true when tackling the game at the highest difficulty setting as you will find yourself dying and repeating sequences more than advancing the story.
The GRP (Gravity Restraint Projector) is your best friend in Black Iron Prison. Trivialize multi-wave fights and stronger enemy types by simply picking up your foes and flinging them off the map or at environmental hazards that guarantee an instakill (like spikes or fan blades).
To check how much energy your GRP has at any given time, simply hold down the aim button (RMB on PC) and check the blue bar on top of your health bar. This indicates how much energy you have left on the GRP.
Just like in Dead Space, remember to stomp on corpses to get loot. At higher difficulties, getting even a bit of health, ammo, or credits back after facing multiple waves of enemies will spell the difference between advancing or dying and reloading the entire fight.
Outside of combat, make sure to pay attention to chests, breakables, and alternate paths. These will usually reward you with an ample amount of resources and, in rare cases, brand new weapon schematics for more powerful weapons!
When debating what to get at the Reforge Station, make sure to stay away from the ammo and health buy options unless absolutely necessary. The game gives you plenty of both, even when playing on Maximum Security, so save up those Callisto Credits and purchase better upgrades for your weapons instead.
One of the best starting upgrades you can get is for Jacob's Stun Baton called the Riot Control Swing. Spend 300 Credits to get a heavy baton attack that makes melee combat easier than having to rely on blockable light attacks.
Best Upgrades: What to Upgrade First
While combat may seem pretty straightforward, there are always a few tricks to take note of as you navigate the corridors of Black Iron Prison. Some of the following are tricks you can use to gain an edge during fights on higher difficulties:
As with any survival horror game, inventory space in the Callisto Protocol is pretty tight. During majority of the opening chapters, you will be restricted to only 6 inventory slots, so make sure to keep an eye on how many injectors, ammo types, and valuable loot you have stashed away.

The in-game music is an indicator of a combat sequence. Pay attention to it especially when entering large, darkened areas of the Prison. If the in-game music starts being eerie, then that usually means an enemy is nearby. Once the music fades back to normal white noise (especially after wave battles), you'll know that you are probably safe.
While the game's advertising did a good job of showcasing this little tidbit of information, it must be stressed that you should actually shoot the tentacles. This will prevent late-stage enemies from mutating further, allowing you to conserve ammo and end the fights quicker.
