Official Dauntless: Player's Handbook

Dauntless, the co-op monster hunting RPG, is now available for everyone on the Epic Store and through Phoenix Lab’s own client. You can explore the Shattered Isles and slay some behemoths right now without spending a dime. The game is currently in a solid state, too, as all the core features are present, there’s plenty of activities to do, and a new season pass comes every season. With that in mind, we reckon there’s never been a better time to start playing.
However, not everything you can do in it is as clear as can be. Dauntless is very much a game about experimenting and exploring systems, and that can feel obtuse for new players. If you’re finding that it’s not obvious what the difference between the five different weapons are, what the different colour damage numbers mean, or what tactics you should be using in combat, then we’ve got some advice for you. We’ve put together some handy tips to help make your first hunts successful.
