Beginner's guide by LevelCapGaming: how a match works and what to buy first

Season 1 video. The Season 2 wipe on 15 October 2026 changed unlock levels, prices and some damage values. The skills still apply; check the numbers in game.

LevelCapGaming walks through a whole match from the first spawn. If you have just bought the game, start here.

What you will learn

• The match: three teams fight over a capture zone. Every 30 seconds the team with the most players in it scores, the inner hot zone counts double, and the first team to 100 points wins. Expect an hour or more per match.
• Stay until the end: the end-of-match bonus in money and XP is one of the biggest payouts you get.
• Towers: capturing a tower gives part of a code. With every part you can pull the hot zone towards your side.
• Settings worth changing: turn off picture-in-picture scopes (a big FPS cost) and the tinnitus effect, and switch helicopters to mouse control.
• A cheap first kit: two or three magazines plus loose ammo is enough. Refill magazines from loose ammo in the inventory instead of buying more.
• XP per role: kills level Assault, healing levels Medic, spotting levels Recon, building levels Support and transport levels Driver and Pilot. Your overall level is the sum of all roles, so playing several roles levels you faster.
