Getting started

Field pack

Your pack opens in mid-air between your hands. It holds everything you own.

Open the pack, pick a design on the tray, and close it again.

Open and close it

Grip the top handle to move it, or the rim with both hands to resize it.

  1. Press the left menu button, or bring both empty hands together, squeeze both grips and pull them apart.
  2. Let go to leave the pack hanging in the air.
  3. Press the menu button again, or push your hands together on its rim, to close it.

Take things out and put them back

Grip a stack to take it. Let go over the pack to put it back, or anywhere else to drop or throw it. Stacks of the same item combine. A hidden drawer in the front of your pod holds extra things.

Open the pack, take a tool out and hold it in your hand.

Buttons on the edge

The edge holds your gear and multiplayer, the compass, Settings, the question-mark button for this encyclopedia and the crafting tray. Press one with a fingertip and a trigger pull.

The wristwatch

Raise your left wrist to read health, stamina and food. Under water the food bar becomes your breath. See Health, stamina and food.
