Any action that is not red in final ranking screen does affect your ranking, and affects it with more=better rule.

Use every battery you see. If can’t use it – just toggle night vision for a moment.

Use every bottle and brick you see (damage enemies, headshot’em when possible), keep 1 or 2 bricks/bottles for the end of the trial and use it to get to the shuttle safely.

Always keep 1 (better 2, if you have upgraded your inventory up to 4 slots) bricks or bottles. If you have upgraded a perk, that allows you to use brick/bottle to skip Hider jumpscare – you can avoid being damaged.

Use every adrenaline shot you found, cuz they’re pretty much useless – there are no places in any map where you can’t just jump into the dark and sneak or silent-jump away from the enemy.

Use rig every time it recharges, if you found rig recharger – use the rig and recharge it.

Bash blocked doors/barricades.

Always keep 1 (better 2, if you have upgraded your inventory up to 4 slots) bricks or bottles. If you have upgraded a perk, that allows you to use brick/bottle to skip Hider jumpscare – you can avoid being damaged or you can just help your friends with these.

Help your teammates, revive them, do cooperative actions.

Use your rig when it possible, if you found rig recharger – find yourself an opportunity to use it (heal ur teammates; stun enemies; x-ray).
