Developer Tips

The following are tips provided by the developers and displayed during load screens:

Abilities

A high level Soldier can blow all his Satchel Charges at once by pressing GRENADE(with the ability selected) while they're equipped.
A high level Operative can Remote Control a friendly Turret, making it much more lethal than normal.
An EMP grenade can slow down progress on some Primary Objectives, shut down electronically detonated weapons, and interfere with Comms Hacks and disrupt enemy player radar.
If you decide you don't like a character's Abilities, you can reset them at the cost of a 1 level demotion.
If you get hit by an enemy Sticky Bomb, you've only got a few seconds to find a teammate who can remove it from you.
If you hear a loud beeping sound coming from an Incapacitated enemy's body, it means they've got a Cortex Bomb and are about to explode!
If you see glowing red spikes, it means an enemy has put down Caltrops. As long as you walk slowly through them, you won't take any damage.
You can see the status of your Turret or Landmines on the HUD in the lower left of the screen.

If you see sparks and hear a specific hit sound when shooting an enemy, that means they've got an Armor upgrade, and will be tougher to take down.
Medics supply Incapacitated teammates with Revive Syringes. The Incapacitated teammates decide when it's best to get up.
Self-Buffing gives you no XP and is subject to a cooldown delay. Always buff teammates first.
Teammates like you if you share: try buffing other players on your team before yourself.

From anywhere in the world, you can look at the information over your teammates' heads to see if they need your help.
If an Operative hacks the communication channel of the enemy, everyone on his team will know the location of every enemy, but only temporarily.
If you see an enemy laying on the ground with a gun in their hand, watch out! They're not dead, and they can still fire at you.
If you suspect someone of being an enemy in disguise, trust your instinct and shoot at them. You might be revealing an Operative, or you might just be wasting bullets.
Remember, regular Frag grenades knock the enemy down but rarely kill. A high level Soldier's upgraded Frags are much more lethal.
There is great strength in numbers: stick with friendly teammates, and avoid confrontation when you're outnumbered.
When a teammate announces they've spotted an enemy, you'll be able to see that enemy on your radar for a short time.
When knocked down, shoot at enemies trying to finish you off with their melee attacks.
When your Health falls dangerously low, get out of the line of fire, seek cover and wait for your health to recharge.

As well as Class, you can change your Primary and Secondary Weapons at a Command Post at any time.
High level Engineers can upgrade Command Posts, doubling their positive effect on the team.
High level Operatives can Comms Hack an Incapacitated enemy, and all Operatives can disguise themselves as a Dead enemy.
High level Operatives can firewall Command posts, making it very difficult for the enemy to capture them.
It's always better for a Soldier to restock and augment your Ammo supply, but Command Posts will do a basic refill.
You lose any buffs you've applied to yourself when switching classes. Your deployables disappear as well.

Firing in short bursts is much more accurate than spraying.
Iron-Sighting or Crouching increases your weapon accuracy.
It is sometimes easier to aim by moving left and right while keeping the crosshair still.
Switching weapons is often quicker than reloading, and can make the difference in firefights.
When you aim at an enemy, you'll automatically notify your teammates of his location.
When you run out of Ammo in a fire fight, it's always wiser to switch to your backup weapon, then wait for a reload.
While Iron-Sighting, you can hold Q to lean left or hold E to lean right.

Brink can be complex. If you're feeling overwhelmed, stick with your teammates and take it one Objective at a time.
Brink's most important rule: move more than you shoot.
Complete the final level of a Challenge to unlock Leaderboards.
If you join a Fireteam, you're guaranteed to stick with those players in every map until you return to the main menu.
In Campaign mode, you can play through Brink's storyline in a friendly environment. In Freeplay mode, you can set up online matches to work any way you like.
While online in a standard Campaign match, if you want to communicate with other players, form a Fireteam on the Spawn Menu Scoreboard.
You'll earn more XP and level up much faster if you buff your teammates and complete Objectives. XP for kills is much slower.

Every time the attackers complete a Primary Objective, more time is added to the clock.
Guard the bomb! Once you've planted an HE Charge make sure you protect it or enemy Engineers will disarm it.
If you're in the process of completing a Primary Objective when time runs out, the game will go into overtime, giving you a few precious extra seconds.
The Objective Wheel will tell you when it's a good idea to change classes.
The Primary Objective is always at 12 o'clock on the Objective Wheel.
