Tips for new players (December 2019)
As a lot of people picked up the game over the holidays, I thought it might be a good idea to start a thread of tips for people new to the game.

Tips
- Don't get attached to a particular gear item of weapon until you get to World Tier 5 - it'll become obsolete quickly.
- Check the tutorials tab if you accidentally skipped over a tutorial in the heat of battle
- Damage to Elite (DTE) is a mask attribute that will be useful when you start encountering gold enemies.
- The biggest health and armor pools are on backpacks and chest pieces
- Hazard protection doesn't help against explosives - you need Explosive Resistance for that
- You can replay missions by selecting them on the map and selecting the difficulty. You cannot replay side missions
- Commendations are in-game achievements. You need to claim commendations on the commendation tab to get the arm patch
- Most missions have a hidden backpack trophy you can find
