How to play: beginner tips
- Try every weapon type early — the starter weapon is rarely the best.
- Try the demo first; check the store page to see whether demo progress carries over.
- Commit to one build until it is online — spreading points thin slows the early game.
- Split roles with friends — one scout, one builder, one fighter — instead of all doing the same job.
- There is no rush — plan layouts before placing big items.
