Can You Make Cronos: The New Dawn Easier?

by

Cronos: The New Dawn presents a challenge to players by forcing them to use their survival skills against formidable enemies, complex inventory systems, and scarcity of items. These relentless adversaries can absorb considerable damage, intensifying the resource management struggle. Thus, players must either tweak game settings for an easier experience or learn to adapt to the high level of difficulty.

Can You Change the Difficulty of Cronos: The New Dawn?

In the game ‘Cronos: The New Dawn‘, you can’t adjust the difficulty level at the start. However, once players complete the game, a harder mode becomes available. This setup could be suitable for dedicated survival gamers, but others might find even the normal mode challenging.

Some features of “Cronos: The New Dawn” may prove difficult for many gamers to navigate.

  • Scarce Resources: Ammo and healing items are scarce, and players will have to completely explore an area to find the ammo hidden away off the beaten path. Crafting resources like Chemicals and Metal Scraps are also scarce, which can further limit the ammo and equipment you can fabricate.
  • Inventory Management: Players start the game with six inventory slots, which limit the amount of tools, and ammo they can carry. While the inventory size can be increased with Cores, they’re hard to find, and you will be struggling with inventory management throughout the game.
  • Tough Enemies: Enemies in Cronos: The New Dawn are bullet sponges and tough, which will deplete your ammo resources quickly. There are instances when you’ll be low on ammo and enter a room with a horde of enemies, which can lead to a game-over loop if you don’t know how to dispatch enemies efficiently.

Survival Tips to Make Cronos: The New Dawn Easier

As a die-hard fan of Cronos: The New Dawn, I know that the game isn’t exactly a walk in the park with its lack of difficulty settings. But fear not! There are some clever strategies and secrets up my sleeve that can help you tackle even the toughest parts of this epic adventure. So, without further ado, let’s dive into some tips for making Cronos: The New Dawn a bit more manageable.

  • Aim for the Limbs: Akin to games like Dead Space, players will need to focus their shots on the limbs of enemies to make them fall on the ground. This is a sure way to conserve ammo, while also presenting you with the opportunity to land a few melee hits before retreating to a safe distance.
  • Prioritize Charged Shots: All weapons in Cronos: The New Dawn allow players to charge their shots and deal increased damage. This will allow you to deal the most damage out of each bullet in your ammo reserves.
  • Disrupt Merging: Enemies can merge with corpses lying on the ground, which can make them more tanky, faster, and deadlier. You can stop this from happening by using the flamethrower (tool) to burn the bodies. Alternatively, you can also quickly take out the enemy before the merging is complete.
  • Buy Items as a Last Resort: There’s an option to buy various resources through an in-game terminal, which costs energy. Energy also happens to be a resource to upgrade your weapons. It’s recommended to save up energy and put it towards weapons upgrades. Buy items only as a last resort.
  • Explore Thoroughly: Each level has optional pathways that you can explore to get some additional resources, like healing items, ammo, and upgrade materials from. You should explore a complete level thoroughly before progressing ahead to stock up on crucial survival items.
