NMRiH2 Training Grounds Tutorial

What the tutorial is for

The 1.0 Training Grounds tutorial is a guided space for combat and objective basics. Use it to remove uncertainty about movement, melee spacing, firearm handling, inventory actions, and interaction prompts before those inputs compete with navigation or squad communication.

Treat completion as a control check, not as proof that a loadout or tactic will work under live pressure. The tutorial does not reproduce separated starts, proximity-voice range, shared mission-item ownership, a complete map task chain, or the consequence attached to a developed Responder in a live run.

Choose one weak input before entering. If the problem is not named, a full pass can hide it behind actions that already work. A precise goal such as "complete the interaction prompt without searching for the input" produces a checkable result without inventing a score.

Practice in a fixed order

1. Confirm movement, sprinting, crouching, interaction, and inventory inputs.
2. Practice one melee strike, recovery, and retreat without standing inside the target.
3. Practice aiming, reloading, and changing equipment without looking away from the route for too long.
4. Complete the objective prompts without skipping the on-screen instruction.

Keep the order stable when diagnosing a control problem. Movement creates the route, interaction advances the prompt, inventory work makes equipment available, and combat actions add commitment. Changing every binding or technique at once makes it harder to identify which step caused the failure.

The attached official feature announcement confirms the tutorial boundary but does not publish ideal sensitivity, deadzone, timing, accuracy, or repetition values. Use the visible prompts and current control menu. For controller-specific symptoms, continue to the dedicated sensitivity and deadzone guide rather than extending this tutorial into unsupported settings advice.

Rehearse inventory and objective interaction

Open the inventory and identify how to select, move, and return to the item needed for the next prompt. The readiness standard is not speed; it is completing the action without losing track of what the tutorial asked. If the sequence remains uncertain, repeat it before adding a combat action.

For objective interaction, read the prompt completely, approach the marked area, perform the requested input, and confirm that the displayed state changes. Do not skip the confirmation. That same read-act-confirm loop is the bounded recovery method used by the site's map checklists when a live task appears to stop.

This page does not claim that Training Grounds contains every mission item or interaction used by every map. It teaches the general control boundary. A map-specific task still requires the objective text and stored task chain on that route.

Build a melee and firearm control check

For melee, isolate one target, strike from the observed reach, and recover into open space before the next input. Watch for the point at which the retreat path closes or stamina no longer supports another commitment. The related melee guide explains the decision boundary without publishing unsupported damage or stamina numbers.

For firearms, confirm aiming, firing, reloading, and changing equipment in the order shown by the current controls. Do not infer live ammunition availability or enemy behavior from the training setup. The tutorial proves that the input can be performed in that space; it does not guarantee the same decision is safe during a mission.

Repeat the weaker category while leaving the stronger one unchanged. The purpose is to identify a stable input sequence, not to rank weapons or optimize a loadout that the attached source does not evaluate.

Verify the lesson on a map

Open Solo on an available map after the tutorial. Repeat the same inventory and interaction actions while navigation and zombie pressure are present. Solo removes team coordination from the test, but the current mode guide does not describe it as an offline or consequence-free sandbox.

Read the map's active objective before exploring, complete only the current task, and confirm the state change. If the input fails in Solo, decide whether the problem is the control itself, the current prompt, or route confusion. Return to Training Grounds for an input problem and to the map record for a task-chain question.

Do not use one clean Solo action as proof of squad readiness. Proximity voice, resource handoffs, objective ownership, and extraction confirmation become separate decisions when other players are present.

Use a live-run readiness checklist

Before joining a live run, confirm that movement and interaction do not require guessing, inventory actions can be reversed, one melee exchange leaves a retreat path, firearm reload and equipment change are deliberate, and a Solo objective can be read and confirmed. These checks identify readiness boundaries; they do not guarantee mission completion.

Choose a lower-consequence co-op setting while adding team timing. State the active objective, use short proximity-voice calls, announce mission items or treatment, and confirm the extraction type before moving. If the run fails because the input is still uncertain, return to the relevant tutorial step instead of exposing a more developed Responder to another uncontrolled test.

Keep the tutorial claim within its source

The official Armageddon feature announcement supports a guided Training Grounds space for combat and objective basics and the practice categories listed in the current record. It does not establish exact target behavior, scoring, completion rewards, perfect settings, or guaranteed transfer to a live match.

Use the beginner guide to combine mode choice, objective reading, inventory discipline, regrouping, and extraction. Use the Objective-versus-Survival-versus-Solo guide when the unresolved question is which live loop to practice. Those relations extend the decision without pretending Training Grounds contains every mission condition.
