Source facts
What is the primary objective for the Firestarter in the cult's facilities?
Your main goal throughout the various cult-controlled areas, such as the warehouses and laboratories, is to ignite a fire that cannot be controlled, effectively disrupting the cult's operations within their own facilities.
How should I approach encounters with enemies in the early game?
Since you do not begin with a weapon, it is suggested that you prioritize stealth by hiding and avoiding enemies. While combat is a possible option, finding weapons later allows for a more aggressive approach if desired.
Does the game force me to kill everyone I encounter?
No, the game design encourages you to avoid unneeded deaths. The Firestarter recognizes that the cult's workers are exploited, so you are not required to kill them to progress through the game's various environments.
