Top 10 Tips and Tricks for Content Warning
1. Play with friends
You can play solo, especially since the camera has a selfie mode. However, you’ll be missing out on some great content, like your friend getting jumpscared by aSnail manand then killed.More peoplealso means more chances of at least one of you surviving and bringing back the footage to the surface. This is extra important on your last day since you want to hit theViews goaland survive for longer.
2. Sacrifice for the views
If you are struggling for views and the deadline is approaching, then it might be time to do something drastic, likesacrifice yourselfor your teammate. This is another good reason why you should beplaying with friends. You need to do anything for theviews, and there’s nothing more interesting than getting attacked. If you can’t find a monster anywhere, which has happened to me,lasersalso make good content.

3. Recharge your equipment
I’ve forgotten torecharge my flashlightquite a few times and ended up having to wade through the Old World in darkness. The jumpscares are even worse when you may’t even see where they’re coming from; you just hear the sound cue. Some monsters also shy away from light, which is where a full battery will come in handy.
Recharge stationscan be found at several spots in the upper world; all you have to do is approach them and turn on your item. You’ll know it’s charging bylittle sparksflying around, but you may also check the battery status in the top right corner of your screen.
4. Don’t use up all of your film
Unfortunately, the cameraisn’t rechargeable. Once you use up the film, that’s it. You should always pay attention to whether your camera is on or not. I’ve had moments where I accidentally switched on the camera, and all I got was a floor presentation. And when something scary was happening, I had no more film left to capture it.
5. Learn the map layouts
I have exploredseveral mapsin Content Warning so far. Every three days, if you are successful at reaching your Views goals, you’ll make it to the next map. All maps havedifferent layoutsalong with several starting points; it’s important to remember yourstarting pointso that you can get to the ship quickly, especially if you have low health or low oxygen. You’ll get used to the first map easily since you will be playing it the most, but you should try to learn the others fast as well.
6. Pay attention to your surroundings
It’s like I haven’t learned fromLethal Companyat all, but you can learn from my mistakes. You need to pay close attention to yoursurroundings, especially the ceiling. The Patrick Star monster hangs in wait on theceiling, waiting for you to pass underneath it so it can grab and kill you. There are other monsters lurking in corners of the factory and even outside, so you should always be onhigh alert. Don’t get too distracted filming.

7. Purchase upgrades from the shop
You won’t be getting a lot of money at first, and you might have to pay some medical bills along the way, but it is definitely important toshopat the store.Emotesare pretty important, as they will bring you additional views. It’s also just very hilarious when you dance in front of a monster that is coming to kill you. Other upgrades like theHuggeror theShock Stickare super useful at keeping your teammates alive and keeping the enemies at bay.
8. Leave one inventory space empty
You have a verylimited inventory, and there are a lot of items you may purchase and bring in to help boost your views. However, you’ll want to leave at least one inventory space empty. You canfind itemsin the Old World which you’ll want to pick up since they’re free. If one of your teammates dies, you’ll also want to pick up all theirvaluable equipment, especially if it’s a camera.
9. Don’t run out of air
You might think this is simple, but there have been many moments when my teammates and I have died because we weren’t looking at ourOxygen tanks. This can easily happen if you are too preoccupied with the Snail that’s been following you around or theStarfishthat has caught you again. Once you are ataround 20%, you should be running for the exit.
10. Run
You are prettydefenselessin Content Warning. You can get items like the Shock Stick, which will stun enemies. You can stun your friends, too, though, leaving them open to any attacl. Unless you know how to use the stick well, I suggest justrunning. Save up yourstaminafor critical moments, like when you get attacked by several monsters at the same time.
