Saving anywhere

Use the Blink Portal to save the game almost anywhere. You do not need to wait for an Xtraction point. Just open up a Blink Portal when you want to save then use the Xtraction point in the Sanctuary.

Easy experience

For easy leveling up, go to the Holding Pen level. There is a location where enemies keep teleporting onto the screen; it is just before the last area entrance. Note: If you stay too long without saving, your game will freeze.

Easy items

In Act 2 after you rescue Beast on Mikhail's Warship, Blink will open a portal back to Avalon. Go through the portal to Avalon then immediately return to the warship. The scene of rescuing Beast will play again, and the ship will be undamaged. You can go back and get all the items again. Repeat this as many times as desired. Additionally, to get easy Techbits, health packs, energy packs, and items, return to the top of Apocalypse's tower where you fight Archangel. Smash all of the containers to get random free items. Repeat this as many times as desired.
