Many players new toDaemon X Machinawill want to know some beginner tricks to use when first starting out. The title is surprisingly complex, and many strategies that may seem obvious to a more experienced might not be clear someonejust starting the game. Here’s what new players should keep in mind when jumping into this title.
9Enemy Arsenals Have Valuable Items
Enemy Arsenals can be looted once defeated. Normally, a player might brush past them, thinking there is nothing good to be found. Some players might not even know they can be looted. However, it never hurts to take a moment andloot through a mechathat’s just been downed.
There are chances that the player can get a new piece of armor, or even a particularly strong weapon, from looting through a downed Arsenal. There’s no downside to rummaging through the wreckage of a fallen enemy, so it’s worth the extra few seconds it takes.
8Use Free Missions To Get Extra Money
Free Missions are one of the best ways to get money inDaemon X Machina. They can be a bit difficult at times, but they’re incredibly efficient and can be repeated, unlike standard missions. They’re great to help players pick up a pretty penny or two.
On top of paying out well, Free Missions also offer opportunities to pick up any weapons along the way, such as by looting an enemy Arsenal. Those, of course, can be sold, thus bringing the total amount of money given per Free Mission even higher.
7Long-Range Weapons Take Priority
Although long-range and short-range weapons should be equally used and swapped out depending on the situation, long-range weapons should be prioritized more often than not. These are often less risky, and prove useful in a wider range of situations.
For a player new toDaemon X Machina,shooting with a longer-range weaponat the right distance will keep them away from the danger of short-range weapons. (Of course, an enemy using a long-range weapon will still be something to fear.) The player needs to make sure they’re not toofar away, though, as then the damage will start to minimize.
6Dual-Wield Swords Can Attack Together
Dual-wielded swords are surprisingly strong melee weapons. They can do more than just simple attacks like most other melee weapons; in fact, if a player is dual-wielding swords, they can attack with both swords simultaneously.

By pressing the left attack button and the right button at the same time, a player can swing both swords at an enemy,and cause even more damage by doing so.This attack can easily take out large chunks of the enemy’s health in one hit, with the right build.
5Pay Attention To The Enemy Weapon’s Range
If the enemy that a player faces is using a short-ranged weapon, it would be in the player’s best interest to use a long-ranged weapon,such as a gun. By doing so, they can keep out of the enemy’s attack range as they do damage.
On the other handm if an enemy is using a long-ranged weapon, a player could benefit from pulling out a short-ranged weapon and charging at the enemy. It may not seem like a good idea at first, but an enemy with a long-ranged weapon can’t easily defend themselves at a short distance.
4Manual Saving Isn’t an Option in a Mission
Players can save whenever they want, asDaemon X Machinahas both an auto-save function, as well as a manual saving function. However, it’s worth noting that a player cannot save while they are in a mission.
In these situations, all that a player has is the auto-save function. This is worth remembering, so a player can get into the habit of constantly saving manually before entering a mission, just on the off-chance that something happens while playing the game.
3Wait For Enemies To Lose Stamina Before Attacking
One of the safer ways to destroy enemies is to wait for the enemy to run out of Stamina. Like the player, if the enemy runs out of Stamina, it will hinder their abilities to attack and make it easier for the player overwhelm them.
Once the enemy is out of Stamina (which will be obvious thanks to the “STM Empty” HUD appearing above the enemy), it will be much easier for a player to burst them down. In other words, waiting for the enemy to open up a weakness will be beneficial.
2The Factory Is Great for Equipment
The Factory is one of the best places for a player to create an amazing weapon that can easily wipe out hordes of enemies.Daemon X Machinaoffers the option to create a high level weapon, along with strong armor.
to do so, a player will need to sacrifice some money, along with an older weapon or piece of armor to use as a base. Of course, a new player can easily find all sorts of weapons bylooting through any fallen enemy Arsenals.
1Customization is Key
A huge factor ofDaemon X Machinais the customizationthat goes into the game.Players can customize all of the weapons that they wield with their Arsenal, and a more experienced player can get really creative with their builds.
Customizing and tweaking with the player’s mecha can be what makes or breaks a mission’s success. After hours of game play, players ofDaemon X Machinawill eventually be able to find a build that is not only fun for them, but also strong.
Daemon X Machinais available on Nintendo Switch and Windows PC.
