How to find and kill all the Visionaries
There are eight Deathloop Visionaries in total that you need to find and kill. They have very specific schedules and locations that mean they're only vulnerable in very specific conditions. Working out when and where that is is 90% of the game, so read this to help you work it all out quicker.
What are the best powers, and which ones you want
There are multiple Deathloop powers you can collect and upgrade. However, while some are fun to mess about with, only three are really essential. You'll also have to grind a little to find the most crucial upgrades, so this Deathloop guide will help you get the best powers and upgrades with the minimum fuss.
All the guns worth getting
There are a wide range of Deathloop guns in the game for you to use and, like the powers, there are some clear, standout options you should prioritize getting and using. This guide will tell you what guns you want, why, and how to get them. A couple of the best weapons in the game are easy to miss but can make a huge difference to progression.
All the codes for every door and safe
The various Deathloop codes you need to find, to open doors and safes, do something interesting in this game - they're all randomly generated. So there's no list of numbers you can read from to save time, you'll have to find the specific combination you need in your game. To save you time, this Deathloop guide will tell you exactly where to go to find every number and combination you need.
What Trinkets should you use?
There are various Deathloop Trinkets you can find that will buff both you and your weapons' abilities. While some are randomly dropped, a few are unique, and getting the best loadout can really change how you deal with some enemies or situations. Use our list to find out what Trinkets you want, and then get them fast.
