* Cyberware hugely hinders a character's magical abilities. A physical class equipped with cyberware can consider some light investment in magic in order to gain access to simple buffs or magical healing, but on the opposite end pure spellcasters should avoid cyberware entirely.

* Unlike all other weapons in the game, sniper rifles get less accurate the closer you are to the enemy.

* The highest-end guns in the game all utilize a Smartlink. When choosing cyberware, make sure you have a datajack if you want to take advantage of this.
 
* The easiest types of characters for beginners are likely to be medium-ranged direct damage dealers, namely a pure Mage or a rifle-specialized Street Samurai. Note that mages now need some measure of Intelligence to cast the best spells.
 
* Biotech of 2 is recommended to be able to see enemy HP in combat, and at 3 it enables some Karma rewards in the early game that partially reimburse investment into the skill.
 
* Among the best (most-used) Etiquettes are '''Corporate''', '''Security''' and '''Gang'''. '''Academic''' is also frequent (without many rewards) and the remainder are fairly rarely used.
 
* One of the biggest changes in the Director's Cut is that cover and armor have become much more integral to combat. Armor points are explicit and directly reduce damage dealt, so armor piercing attacks and spells are much more important. Medium and heavy cover effectively negate criticals and reduce damage taken, while light cover simply reduces damage taken. Being "out in the open" or "flanked" means minimum of 1.0x damage.
 
* Melee strikes will "pop" targets out of cover for a round, as will certain special attacks.
 
* Even for Magic-using classes, there is a cyberware item that costs 0 Essence and doesn't affect your cooldowns so don't forget to keep checking with the clinic.
 
* It is possible to reach the 50K nuyen mark before you run out of main missions to help with the fundraising - if you like, you can go meet your contact early for some added content.
