While Meet Your Maker's introductory tutorial is thorough in teaching new players the basics, there is still more to learn about this unique title. Much of that learning can be done simply by spending time in build and raid mode, though the advice of more-experienced players can also be very helpful. It is hard to think of a group of players that is more experienced with the game than developer Behaviour Interactive, and its official Meet Your Maker tips and tricks video may help fans that are looking to improve their gameplay.
This official tips and tricks video is split into eight parts, which address aspects of both building and raiding. For builders, the tips start simple, advising players to begin their Outposts in Meet Your Maker by establishing a Harvester path, then move on to giving the level a structure, and then end by adding traps to that structure. The advice does not stop there, though, as the video recommends that builders "think like their enemy" when placing hazards in an attempt to maximize their efficacy.
Furthermore, the tips and tricks video recommends that players monitor how their Outposts are performing by watching Meet Your Maker replays and checking their levels for skulls. Both of these features allow fans to see which of their hazards are getting kills, and they can use that information to continually improve their Outposts. As alluded to in the video, this process of review and revision allows raiders and builders to "forge connections," which is ultimately beneficial for both sides.
For raiders in Meet Your Maker, the video's tips emphasize the import of scouting for information. In fact, it suggests that information on the placement of hazards is so important that fans should be prepared to "sacrifice themselves" to obtain it and fully "embrace death." These statements do not mean that players should be careless in their raiding, though, and they instead point toward using deaths as learning experiences rather than sources of frustration.
Finally, the tips and tricks video indicates that players should not shy away from using Meet Your Maker's co-op feature to take on raids. For the uninitiated, this feature allows two players on the same platform to join forces, which can dramatically alter the raiding experience. Indeed, while fans should not expect a partner to completely trivialize the game's most-difficult Outposts, having a companion to raid with can certainly make deaths less painful.
Meet Your Maker is available for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
