Your first ten minutes
- 1
Get comfortable before spending big
Use the firing range to learn movement, weapons and controls. In a live round, keep early purchases modest while you learn how the economy works.
- 2
Tell your squad you’re new
A quick “first few games—happy to help” gives people the context they need. Ask where the squad is going and stay close enough to contribute.
- 3
Make one useful contribution
Cover a teammate, share a clear callout, help with a revive or supplies, or stay on the objective. A good round is more than a kill count.
Useful comms are short
Say what you saw, where it is, and what your squad needs. “Enemy infantry north of the bridge” helps more than “over there.” Leave room for other people to talk. Text is welcome when voice is not practical.
Ask before taking a big asset
If you’re learning transport, logistics, or expensive vehicles, tell your squad first. Find an experienced player to walk you through it. Practice is welcome; surprising a full squad is less fun.
