7 beginner tips for starting Exoprimal

Capcom’s new team-based competitive shooter Exoprimal is out, and well, it’s a bit of an oddball. It’s got guns, mechs, and it’s all about whittling down the dino horde. And while it’s still early on in this game’s lifespan, we have a few tips for making life in Exoprimal easier.

While you’re digging around in the Exosuit options, take a look at the rig options too. Rigs are a special piece of equipment, mounted on your shoulder, that can persist across suits. (Default
