Fracture Walkthrough Introduction
General Gameplay Tips
- Overbody Shield: Your health is your shield. When it drains and begins to flash red, get to cover and it will recharge.
- Radar: Located in the lower right of your screen. It displays objectives as white circles, enemies are red, and friends are green.
- Entrencher: This allows you to manipulate the terrain in the game. You can raise and lower the land as needed. Lower it to expose tunnels that were previously closed or raise it to gain access to a level that's too high to jump to. You can also create cover when you're exposed to gunfire.
- Weapons Crates: These are crates where you can pick up new weapons and ammo. They are scattered all over each environment.
- Data Cells: These are scattered all over the game. There are 100 in all and they unlock weapons and other things for the weapons testing area, which can be accessed on the main menu.
- Weak Points: Many enemies have weak points on their bodies that you have to shoot in order to take them down. Most of the time it is a green spot on their head, but some enemies, like the Bolla Creature, have three green spots that need to be shot in order to kill them.
- Augmentations: Throughout the game you will gain numerous augmentations that allow you to become stronger and better.
- Shield Alpha: This is your Overbody Shield.
- Entrench Alpha: This gives you the Entrencher.
- Entrench Beta: Allows you to jump and augment the terrain below you.
- Shield Beta: Allows you to take more damage.
- Entrench Gamma: Increases the force when you descend from your jump and, when you hit the ground, you damage nearby enemies.
- Shield Gamma: Maximizes your shield.
- Strength Beta: Upgrades your melee damage and adds a lunge ability.
Weapons

- Grenades: You have a few types of grenades that you're able to utilize throughout the game.
- Spike Grenade: This creates a large spike that emerges from the dirt. It can raise you up if you stand on it or raise an object out of your way. It can also crush an enemy against the ceiling if properly utilized.
- Subsonic Grenade: This is a grenade that explodes and creates a crater in the ground.
- Tectonic Grenade: This explodes and causes the terrain to raise up into a mound.
- Vortex Grenade: This explodes and creates a vortex, which sucks everything near it into a swirling mosh-pit of death. The vortex, after gathering enemies within its radius up, will explode and cause massive damage. This is an insanely effective grenade, but you can only carry one at a time.
- The Bulldog: Your default assault rifle. It has a medium range and holds a lot of ammo.
- Pacifican SMG: This is the Pacifican equivalent of the Bulldog.
- Bangalore: A rocket launcher with good range, but it doesn't hold much ammo.
- Black Widow: This fires grenades that stick to any structure they hit. You can fire six and detonate them whenever you wish.
- Scorpion: This is an excellent long range sniper rifle.
- Raptor: This is an excellent long range rifle. Ammo for it is plentiful and it has great power.
- Invader: This is a high powered shotgun. The best close range weapon in the game, but ammo can be hard to come by.
- ALM-37: This fires a ball of ice that freezes your enemies. You then need to melee them or shoot them with your other weapon to break the enemy apart. If you do not break the enemy ice block quickly enough, they will unfreeze and continue to attack you.
- Catapult: This is much like the black widow. It launches a grenade that you can detonate at your leisure.
- Rhino: The Rhino is obtained when you defeat a Bolla creature. It gives you their power to launch large boulder like objects at enemies.
- ST-4 Torpedo Launcher: This fires a torpedo into the ground. It shines a light upward to show you where it is as it goes forward. Once it reaches its destination, you can detonate it.
- Lodestone: This is a weapon that shoots an object that sucks enemies and other objects toward it. It can gather up enemies that are proving difficult to get at and it can even be used to manipulate certain objects in the environment, which allows you to pass through the area.
