Trench Decay: Tutorial Walkthrough

Last updated 2026-10-10Unofficial player article

Follow the opening tutorial to its first extraction, reach the main interface, and prepare for the next cooperative campaign.


To finish the Trench Decay opening tutorial, launch the experience, follow its prompts to the first extraction point, and continue until the main interface appears. Focus on completing that introduction before looking for menus described in later guides.

This related gameplay video provides context for the campaign and equipment decisions below.

Reach the first extraction point

The opening sequence leads you toward an extraction point. Follow the tutorial's route and its active prompts instead of searching immediately for the full lobby interface. The introduction and the main interface are different stages of entering the game.

Take the time to learn what the game is asking you to do. A fast tutorial clear is less useful than arriving at the main interface understanding how the introduction moved you through the opening. Do not abandon an active prompt merely because another guide shows a menu you have not reached yet.

Wait for the main interface before opening reward menus

Continue the introduction until the main interface appears. That is the point at which later menu instructions make sense. If a reward button is missing during the introduction, finish the current tutorial task rather than repeatedly searching the same unfinished screen.

Once the interface is available, separate preparation from playing another campaign. You can review equipment or visit the reward interface without assuming that every menu is part of the tutorial. Keep those optional tasks from distracting you from learning the basic combat loop.

Carry the tutorial into a cooperative run

The next useful goal is a squad attempt you can follow. Stay with other players and choose a weapon that feels manageable. The tutorial introduces the experience; it does not require you to master every class, weapon, or campaign destination before joining the wider game.

When the first full run becomes difficult, return to the part you can improve. Make your opening calmer, keep your aim under control, and learn what the squad is trying to accomplish. A specific next task is easier to practice than trying to solve your entire loadout immediately.
