The briefing
Follow the opening story missions to unlock core systems and meet the protagonists. Early tutorials introduce driving, aiming and character-specific abilities before the world opens further.
Keep a manual save before experimenting with cheats or making major story decisions. The in-game phone provides access to quick saving outside restricted situations.
Use the map legend to distinguish mission markers from optional activities. When progress seems stalled, switch characters and check for newly available markers.
