Despite several bugs encountered by PC gamers when "Dishonored 2" was released last week, there is still no stopping players to enjoy the game. After a week, several reports have released important tips on how to efficiently play the game.

"Dishonored 2" is one of the most awaited games of the year featuring again the playable protagonist Corvo Attano who is bound to protect her daughter, Emily Kaldwin, who has also been introduced as another playable character option for the game sequel.

Reports noted that one of the key improvements in "Dishonored 2" is the highly enhanced artificial intelligence (AI) features, which means tougher adversaries for the players. But to efficiently tackle enemies, it is important to note that the enemy's detection abilities are highly dependent on sight and sound; thus, GameNGuide advises players to be wise in taking cover and keep the playable characters crouched and being at a vantage point is key.

In addition, bonecharms are one of the most important items in the game. Kotaku reported that there are three kinds of bonecharms â€” the black, regular and corrupted. The most helpful bonecharm is the black one since it also comes with the most powerful benefits but it is also the rarest. However, regular bonecharms can be commonly seen and is still worth collecting.

On other news, DigitalSpy listed 12 points of tips for players of "Dishonored 2." Placed at the first on the list is fighting enemies based on the gamer's preparedness. Without the proper tools, weapons and powerups, gamers might be easily defeated by groups of soldiers so it is advised to first take on isolated enemies.

The news sources also advise players to be resourceful at finishing missions or objectives as there can be more alternative ways to get past them.

Meanwhile, developer of the game Arkane Studios has announced the release of a beta patch in order to fix the persisting issues experienced by PC gamers.
