How to play

Use the mouse to aim and fire at incoming enemies. Press R to reload when your magazine is empty. Use the spacebar to toggle the optical sight for better precision at long distances. If enemies get too close, detonate pre-placed mines using the numeric keys 1 through 7. Switch fire modes with M on compatible rifles to manage your ammunition and rate of fire effectively.

Tips for beginners

  • Wait for groups to cluster before detonating mines to maximize their impact.
  • Use the optical sight to prioritize distant targets before they become an immediate threat.
  • Reload during brief lulls in the action to avoid being caught empty-handed during a push.
  • Switch fire modes based on enemy distance—semi-auto for precision and full-auto for close-range control.
