Malfunctions are a lot worse than parasites, but you can get rid of them without too many problems.Įvery malignant item has a chance of causing a malfunction, but based on our experience, that doesn’t really make a difference.
The malfunction doesn’t go away until you complete certain requirements - killing a certain number of enemies or opening chests, for example - and it negatively affects your stats and/or abilities. Malfunctions are another risk/reward system in Returnal. Certain chests and items will be malignant, meaning there’s a certain chance that you’ll get a suit malfunction if you interact with them. If you’re following our previous tip, you may stumble upon an item that actually increases the positive benefits of parasites, so they’re worth picking up. Even better, parasites usually don’t stack, so you can spread the debuffs out with multiple parasites. Regardless, you’ll rarely feel the negative effects. A parasite might increase the drop rate of obolites while damaging you for using keys, or it might reduce incoming damage while extending your dash cooldown. This is one of many risk/reward systems in Returnal, but the reward usually outweighs the risk. You can pick up parasites during your run that simultaneously give you a buff and a debuff. They’re a little tough to find but look for little red spots around an otherwise in-tact wall. Shoot the switch - they’re usually right by the door - to find your treasure.įinally, there are walls you can break to find even more loot. The switches look like little orange dots, and they’ll light up red when you hover your reticle over them. To unlock them, you need to find a switch and shoot it. Hidden chests show up on your map, but they’re locked behind a door. Most of the time, though, you’ll find a new artifact or a few consumables. Sometimes, you’ll find a monster down there. If you walk over it, you’ll fall through the floor into a secret room. Starting with secret areas, you’ll find a small yellow item on the ground - it looks like an obolite pickup. There are plenty of secret areas scattered through the randomly generated world of Returnal, but they don’t show up on your map, so you need to know where to look.
Keep an eye out for secret areas and hidden chests Adrenaline wants to keep you alive, so use it.

It’s especially important to enter boss battles with a full adrenaline meter, as you might not have an opportunity to build it once you’re in the heat of battle. Use the start of your run to build up your adrenaline on low-level enemies, and then ride that wave for as long as you can. Basically, adrenaline makes playing Returnal easier, and as you’ll quickly learn, you need all the help you can get. The first level, for example, gives you a long window for Overload - basically active reloads - while level two allows you to see enemies through walls. Each level gives you different benefits, but you’ll lose everything if you take damage. For every three enemies you kill, you’ll gain another adrenaline level, up to a maximum of five levels. Returnal uses a combo system known as adrenaline. Malfunctions aren’t as bad as they sound.Keep an eye out for secret areas and hidden chests.
