    Elite Mode is the new difficulty for the campaign available to you immediately, and it's essentially an "endurance" difficulty. Enemy AI are the same as they are on Hard difficulty, except now you only have three lives for the whole campaign, and there are no checkpoints in each chapter. These means if you die during a chapter, you'll have to start it from the beginning. Fortunately there is a workaround to save yourself from losing your lives when you die, making this more a case of trial and error rather than pure skill. Whenever you die, simply press the Options button and quit to the menu. You'll retain your lives and be able to try again. If you have , you can also back up your savefile to the cloud after each successful chapter, so that in the event of losing any lives, you can download your cloud save and maintain your three lives. If you don't have , you can also simply import your savefile to a USB drive.

    Tips:
    • You can still use Adrenaline Packs, so always ensure you have two on you. Use your Tactical Echo to locate some if you're running short on them.
    • Your OWL is your best friend. Use and abuse the shield and stun abilities, as they will save you on multiple occasions.
    • Take it slow. Don't rush through sections if you're forced to fight enemies, just keep a distance and hide if you need to heal.
    • Slightly contrary to the above tip, not all enemies need to be killed. Some sections can be skipped entirely by rushing to the destination. This isn't particularly recommended, but it is an option if you're stuck.
    • At the end of Chapter 7, The Handler, you'll have to protect the doctor and fend against waves of Helghast. The best way to complete this section is to stay on top of the stairs, placing laser tripmines on both staircases so you don't get flanked. Then simply use the Pnv06 Voltage to take out the enemies, while using your OWL's shield for cover. When you enter the attack ship's turret, focus on the ATACs and chaingunners first, as they can deal the most damage. Thanks to SandeProElite for this strategy!
    • At end of Chapter 9, The Destroyer, you'll have to go through two rooms of Helghast before reaching the final elevator. Once again, take the Pnv06 Voltage from the hallway and use that to defeat the enemies. Before you enter the second room, try and kill as many enemies as possible from the doorway, as once you go through the door will remain shut. Attacking from the doorway allows you to take cover, and you won't get flanked. Once the enemies stop spawning, rush in and head to the back doors and take out the groups of Helghast that come through those doors before they get a chance to spread out. Thanks to mattigummi for this strategy!

  • So is complete the game with 3 lives? Doesn't sound bad, except if has to be done in one sitting, if not you can always backup the gamesave (the PS4 still do that, right?)
  • Exactly what @5 said.
