Before the run

Prepare for the run you are about to play

Prepare for a No More Room in Hell 2 run by choosing a mode, difficulty, responder, and starting plan that match the risk you are willing to take.

Do this first

The short answer

Choose the mode and risk first. Pick the first Normal skill for the online mode you plan to play next, even if you enter Solo Practice first. Then make a small item plan that still works when the map gives you different loot.

Decisions at this stage

Questions to settle before you move on

What is the first decision?

Decide whether this run is for learning, progression, or a specific objective. That choice sets how much responder progress you should risk.

Which skill should I choose first?

Use the Skills page to choose one answer for co-op Objective or Survival. Solo Practice is for learning or testing, not a separate progression skill plan.

What usually goes wrong?

A rigid build falls apart when the first loot does not support it. Treat the plan as a direction, not a shopping list.
