- Start with Officer Reyes in Hero City's plaza. Approach him and use H / Talk to pick up quests. Early tasks include Street Sweep, Corner Crews, and Market Cleanup.
- Check QUESTS → ACTIVE and follow TARGET. Match your fights to the tracked objective so combat also advances your quest.
- Use area level signs to choose where to fight next. The following checkpoints help you judge suitable areas:
| Area | Recommended levels | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Old Docks | 10–20 | Use the area banner to judge whether nearby fights fit your stage. |
| Neon Strip | 20–30 | Follow your active objectives while moving into this level range. |
| Iron Harbor | 50–100 | Find Director Valen in the streetside plaza and follow the quest's TARGET marker. |
| Prison Island | 100–150 | At level 100, follow NEXT QUEST · PRISON ISLAND across the sea. Fight Prisoners around Prison Yard and look for Warden Hollis outside Blackrock Penitentiary. |
Treat the signs as recommendations rather than entry locks. Between checkpoints, keep following available quests and choose fights you can finish consistently.
For landmarks and the crossing to Prison Island, use the location and travel guide.
