Your First Match
- Start with Bounty Hunter or Tango - lowest complexity, highest HP (200/240), most forgiving weapons.
- Character selection is 30 seconds - pick fast. Max 1 of each per team.
- Flag placement lasts 60 seconds. Watch where your carrier goes to defend it.
- Listen for the golden proximity tone during Hunt Phase.
- Radar towers scan every 18 seconds - capture and hold them for intel.
- Kill Cashbots whenever you see them - currency is team-shared.
- Ultimate costs 600 points - active play charges it 3-5x faster than passive.
★Act 04
Common Mistakes
- Ignoring Radar Towers - they reveal the flag every 18 seconds. Holding towers is a big advantage.
- Going solo - enemies can hear your proximity voice chat. Use team radio instead.
- Ignoring Cashbots - Knives deals 1.75x to Cashbots, Lumberjack 1.5x. Farm them for upgrades.
- Saving currency - upgrade as soon as you can. Level 2 often has the biggest jump.
- Wasting ult - at 600 points, ultimates take time to recharge. Save them for flag defence or capture.
