My name is Flaws, I am an APB Reloaded Twitch streamer and I play on Citadel EU. All Points Bulletin (APB) is one of my favorite games and I've sunk way too many hours into it since 2010.

APB has always been punishing towards new and returning players and many of them quit because of how difficult it is to get into it and to understand how certain things work. Thus, I have decided to create this guide and teach as many players as possible everything they might not know about APB and how to get into it as well as to give a refresher to returners.

All content in this guide is subject to change or removal depening on which direction All Points Bulletin (APB) develops in the future.

Note: The reason the in-game graphics are poor on some of the screenshots is because my game is heavily modded with configs to maximize performance and visibility among other things. Those screenshots are not representitive of the actual graphical quality of the standard game.

The first thing to do, if you haven't yet, is to create your GamersFirst (G1) account on the GamersFirst website.

Registration: https://register.gamersfirst.com/register/

Once you have created your account, you will need to verify it through your e-mail address. As soon as that's done, you're ready to download the game.

In order to download APB you have two options:

Steam (Recommended):

https://store.steampowered.com/app/113400/APB_Reloaded/
Official Website: https://www.gamersfirst.com/apb/


Once you've downloaded and started it, you will be presented with APB's launcher which will update your game to the newest version. Simply click 'Start' once the button appears.



Once you've logged into the game, you will have the option to directly login with Steam.



Click 'OK' and then login with your GamersFirst account.



Otherwise just login like you normally would without Steam.

First, you need to pick whether you want to be an Enforcer or a Criminal. Don't worry too much about it because you get two character slots on your account by default so you can create the opposite faction of whatever you pick later and you can always delete your character.



The 'Quick Mode' consists of picking your most general preferences and then 'Randomizing'. Randomize until you find something that you kinda like as a base and then click on 'Advanced Mode' down on the left bottom corner. You will be presented with many options and the controls are pretty simple so I will not be going over those.

Pick the world with the lowest possible latency/ping. The name may only include letters and numbers, with no pauses (spaces) and no punctuation. The name must begin with a letter and must be at least 3 letters/numericals long.

The very first thing that will appear once you've created your character is this prompt


Click 'No', because there is no functioning tutorial system yet.

Once the following screen appears


Click 'Advanced' to reveal all available instances in your world server


I would recommend starting off with the 'Financial' district. It doesn't matter which number it says on it, they are all the same. The only thing that matters is the district having a reasonable amount of players in it so that you can actually play missions. If the only such districts are currently full, you might need to 'spam join'.

The "Threat Levels" are the skill ranks in APB. They apply to your entire account and all characters on it. Not to be confused with your character's "Rank". The character's rank simply displays how far you've gone into progressing your character and leveling it up. Those two things are not related to each other in any way.

When you first join a district, you will see a blue or red T symbol (depending on your faction) which means 'Tutorial' player or 'Trainee'. You will eventually lose your trainee status and become higher threat as you play missions against other players, depending on how well you play.

From best to worst the threat levels are as follows: Gold, Silver, Bronze, Green, Trainee.[apbdb.com]

You can find out what your threat level is by looking at the color of the badge next to your character's name up top left.

The white circles are areas that you can spawn in. More of those will appear in the future as you progress your character's rank. These spawns are only used for when you are not currently on a mission.

When you spawn, your camera will look something like this

First I recommend that you zoom out the camera from your character. To zoom it out, press the - and = buttons on your keyboard, right after the 0 on the '1234567890' number buttons at the top row.

It should now look more like this


Pressing your tutorial window button (T by default) will reveal this menu

You must complete the basic tasks that are listed there:

• Sprint 50 meters. (W + Shift)
  
• Jump. (Space)
  
• Crouch. (Left CTRL or C)
  
• Open a door. (F) Only double doors can be opened. Openable doors are indicated once you aim at them
  
  
• Press M on your keyboard to reveal the map.

Completing those will reward you with a Field Supplier mod in your mailbox which you must retrieve.


Press F on it and find the newly received mail with your Field Supplier attached to it then click on it and then click on the paper clip on the right where it says 'Field Supplier'.



The next step is to go to one of the Joker Ammo vending machines.

These can be used to resupply ammo, buy more ammo to add to your locker and equip weapons. Your current task is to press I on one of those machines and equip your Field Supplier.

Pressing I on it opens this window.

You then click on the 'Character' tab

And double click the empty mod slot (marked with a red square on the image) which will allow you to equip your Field Supplier.

Then go back to the 'Weapons' tab and click the ammo purchase button.
Purchase the minimum amount for either your primary or secondary, to complete the tutorial.

Completing that just awarded you with another mail in your mailbox that contains grenades. So do the same process of going to the mailbox and retrieving those. Then go back to the Joker Ammo Vending Machine, press I again and double click on grenades and equip your newly received 'Frag Grenades'.

You get one for free in the beginning. It's not particularly fast nor pretty but it's manoeuvrable and gets the job done. To spawn your vehicle, you will need a vehicle spawner.

In most spawn areas, there is a garage in the building or somewhere underground. Simply go there and look for one of these and press F on it. These car spawners are spread all over the map and can be used to resupply ammo, change loadouts and spawn your car. Once you've spawned it your car will be indicated with a green car marker on your minimap.

Character progression and leveling happens through leveling 'contacts'. Each faction has it's own set of contacts that you must progress by doing missions for them. Each faction has 2 under factions with it's own set of contacts.

Pressing J on your keyboard will reveal your character information panel.


This is where you can see how many total kills you have on your character, how many days and hours you've spent in action districts (mission districts) and other stats.

Clicking on the 'Progression' tab at the top will show you the contacts panel.


You will notice that there is a drop down menu where you can pick between the two under factions and that will reveal each contact that you can currently progress for each under faction. The very first contacts go up to level 5 and they will say 'Completed'. The next ones go up to level 10. Then later into the game, higher tier contacts are 15 and 20 levels. Some contacts are in Financial, others in Waterfront. You can only level each in their respective district. Once you finish a contact anywhere, it will unlock the next one. Some Financial ones might unlock Waterfront ones and vice versa.

The easy way to pledge to a contact is to double click on their portrait until it opens their specific window then just click the Pledge button at the bottom right.


It doesn't matter which ones you pick first or which district you start with. In the end, all contacts must be maxed out no matter what. Your main goal as a beginner is to first reach R40 so that you can equip some vital mods for your character and weapons. You can see the rank required for each weapon, vehicle, mod by clicking on them in your inventory.

Here is a list of all rank icons currently in the game for each faction, displayed in order and in every threat level color.[apbdb.com]

Missions are the main game mode of APB and they are exclusively Player vs Player (PvP). You need to do these in order to level up your character and unlock pretty much anything in the game. These happen in the Financial and Waterfront districts.


In order to queue up for missions, press K on your keyboard to ready up and be placed into the matchmaking pool for the current district you are in.



Once you get a mission, you will see a red and blue glowing APB logo and you will hear a police siren.



Pressing TAB on your keyboard will reveal the scoreboard. Moving your mouse around allows you to click on other players that are in the mission, inspecting what weapons and mods they have equipped, among other things.

Missions mainly consist of attacking and defending objectives such as raiding spots, spraying graffiti on walls, dropping off items, stealing cars etc

Attack objectives are marked with an orange color, while defending is marked with blue.

Each mission consists of multiple stages, usually between 3 and 10 where the last stage is always called "Final Stage" and can be something like Takeouts (team deathmatch), 3 point hold (conquest/domination), item hold where you must protect an item or 'Scavenger' where you must deliver items to your base and prevent the enemies from delivering them to theirs.

• Green Dots - Friendly players (team and group members)
  
• Red Upside-Down Triangles - Enemy players (when they shoot or are in a moving vehicle)
  
• Yellow Stars - Players that have a bounty on their head (fight Club only)
  
• Green/Red Car Icons - Friendly/Enemy Vehicle with a Mobile Spawner Mod

As you complete missions, you will earn standing and money. Standing is your XP that progresses your contacts and unlocks new items to purchase. You start from Rank 9 (R9) and your end goal is reaching max rank. Your character progression does not affect your threat level in any way. You could be a max rank but green threat level.

Your Prestige (enforcers) or Notoriety (criminals) will increase or decrease depending on what you do and how well you perform in missions. The levels are 0-5 where 5 is the highest ("bounty").

The bounty system no longer has much of an impact outside of Fight Club. You will turn Prestige/Notoriety 5 by just playing normally and the only differences are that you will earn slightly more APB$/XP with each level. Also, the enemy player that kills you next will collect a larger amount of APB$ for killing you when you are bounty.

The same rules apply for Fight Club but the difference is that in those districts you will be marked with a star on the minimap for everyone (including enemies) and they will hunt you down for the bigger cash reward.

The golden stars represent which level you are currently and the orange bar represents your progres to gaining/losing a level.



Activities that increase your Prestige as an Enforcer:

• Killing/arresting enemy players (in a mission or criminal bounties) or getting kill assists.
  
• Doing objectives in missions.
  
• Winning missions.

Activities that decrease your Prestige as an Enforcer:

• Killing other Enforcers (especially killing an Enforcer bounty).
  
• Receiving demerit medals of any kind.
  
• Killing/running over civilians or destroying city property like signs, fire hydrants etc.
  
• Losing missions.

Activities that increase your Notoriety as a Criminal:

• Killing enemy players (in a mission or Enforcer bounties) or getting kill assists.
  
• Doing objectives in missions.
  
• Winning missions.
  
• Killing/running over/mugging civilians on the street and destroying city property like signs, fire hydrants etc.
  
• Ram raiding.

Activities that decrease your Notoriety as a Criminal:

• Killing other Criminals (especially killing a Criminal bounty).
  
• Receiving demerit medals of any kind.
  
• Losing missions.

There is one more way to increase/decrease your Prestige/Notoriety which is going up to one of the contacts that you've unlocked around the districts and using the Bribe/Payoff option. You pay a small amount of in-game money (APB$) and your Prestige is risen / Notoriety is decreased. You can only do it to a certain level:

The matchmaking will always match up even team numbers such as 2v2, 3v3 or 4v4 to start. In some cases, one side could have an overall weaker (combined lower threat) make up of players and the team leader of the weaker team will be able to call backup. Calling backup will add 1 or more player/s to each team. For example, a 2v2 can become a 3v3 or a 4v4.

If both teams are balanced, the team leaders on each team are able to vote for "Escalation". If both team leaders agree, escalation will add an equal amount of players to both teams. So a 4v4 can become a 5v5 or a 6v6 and so on until 10v10 which is the current cap. But this cannot happen if one of the team leaders does not agree to escalate.

If you pay attention to the top left, you will see a crown next to a player's name from your team. The silver crown means that that player is the leader of the team. The team is the entirety of your team that is on the mission, including you, your group mate/s and any random players that got matched into your mission on your faction. A group leader is separately indicated by a golden crown . A single player can be both at the same time, in that situation you will see the silver crown during missions and the golden one outside of any missions.

Team leaders can:

• Call for backup (B key by default) if the matchmaking system decides that the teams are unbalanced.
  
• Request/vote for escalation.
  
• Kick/remove players from the team (from the mission) if they have at least 1 demerit (read below).

Other players in the team can request leadership from the Social Menu (U), but that would require at least 3 players in the same team because it requires players to vote whether the team leadership should be handed to the requesting player.

Group leaders can:

• Kick/remove players from the group they are in with (that does not remove them from the mission, but instead will separate the kicked player from the group once the mission is over. They can be re-invited at any time).
  
• Select whether group invitations for that particular group are only limited to the leader or every member can invite others into it.
  
• Turn "Alliance for Open Missions" on and off. (Off is recommended.)

A demerit is the red "medal" that you receive once you:

• Team kill someone on your team during a mission.
  
• Stun a teammate (only applies to Enforcer players).
  
• Kill an arrested Criminal (only applies to Enforcer players).
  
• Commit suicide too many times during a mission.
  
• Go AFK for too long during a mission.

Once you receive just 1 demerit, the team leader can kick you out of the mission immediately.

The Social District is the only peaceful district where both factions come together to talk, customize their characters and cars, trade and relax.

In Social you can:

• Edit your character's physical appearance.
  
• Edit your character's outfits.
  
• Edit your vehicle's appearance.
  
• Create symbols for use as your character's avatar (graffiti) or to put on your character clothing, as a tattoo or on your car.
  
• Buy/sell items on the Marketplace(auction house).
  
• Create death themes(short snippets of player created music or tunes that will play for each enemy you kill or for everyone if you are MVP of a mission at the end).
  
• Purchase 'premium' weapons from the Joker Store for Joker Tickets. (More about this in the next section of the guide.)

Here are the kiosks that you are looking for for each thing.

Physical Appearance


Outfits


Vehicles


Symbol Designer


Marketplace (auction house)


Music Studio (Theme and Song creation)

The Joker Store (JT store) in Social allows you to purchase a wide variety of Armas Marketplace (microtransaction shop) items such as weapons, legendaries, vehicles, character cosmetics, titles and more permanently for your character without spending a dime on the game. This is where you use the Joker Tickets (JT) currency.

Some of the items you can find in the JT Store:

• Trials, leases or character permanent Armas weapons with preset mods or open slots.
  
• Leased or permanent Legendary weapons which can be traded/sold to other players.
  
• Character permanent vehicles such as the Patriot Vegas 4x4/Firebomb or Han Coywolf.
  
• Character permanent Armas clothing such as High-Tops, holsters and clothing bundles.
  
• Leases of all modifications for your character, weapons or vehicles without rank restrictions.
  
• Character permanent community made outfits and vehicles exclusive to the JT store.
  
• Character permanent player titles exclusive to the JT store.

Each time you pay 2.500 JT to Anne for a legendary weapon it grants you a 7-day lease and a 5% chance to get it permanently. You get to use it on a lease until you end up getting it permanently if you choose to commit to a specific weapon.



The green bar fills up each time you purchase your weapon of choice but the % chance does not increase with more purchases, it remains 5%. Once the green bar is filled completely, your next purchase is a guaranteed permanent copy of that weapon. Once you get a legendary weapon permanently, the bar resets and you can start over with it if you so desire or move onto another one.



All weapons acquired permanently from Anne will become tradable and all legendaries previously obtained through the old JMB system are still usable and tradable and will behave identically as ones obtained from Anne.

All legendaries, both previous and upcoming, are sold by Anne except for the FFA 5.56 R&D III (3-slot) as that is not considered a legendary.

One of the most notable items to purchase from the Joker Store is the Patriot Vegas G24 4x4 which is character permanent. It comes in versions of 1, 2, 3 and 4 slots and its the best overall vehicle in the entire game. If you don't mind grinding for it, you should absolutely go for this as it will make things so much easier for you once you get it.





It may look boring and bland here, but buying it from the Joker Store gives you a fully customizable version of it, so if you happen to obtain body kits for it, they will be fully usable on this car.

VERY IMPORTANT NOTE: If you do decide to grind JT for this vehicle, do NOT give into the temptation of buying anything less than 4 slots, just because it's cheaper and faster to obtain. The 4 slotted variant is the only one that's worth it.




Once you complete a contact to their max level, you will be able to take on a daily activity from them, while leveling your other contacts. Each contact you complete will unlock 1 daily activity for you to do. These reward you JT and are usually pretty simple such as blowing up enemy vehicles, winning 2 missions, getting 5 kills, resupplying a certain amount of ammo for teammates, etc.

Rare activities: Once you finish the highest tier contacts, you have a very small chance of a rare activity popping up which, if completed successfully, will reward you with a special character permanent weapon. If you want to catch one of those, be sure to login daily and check every level 15 and 20 contact that you've maxed out.

Daily activities can only be done in the same district as where the contact giving them out is located and you can only do 5 per day per character. They reset every 24h.

Joker Tickets are awarded at random at the end of every mission in mission districts regardless of whether you win or lose or how well you perform. This does not apply to fight club.

You can exchange G1C (real money currency) for JT and then use it in the JT store. However, if you're willing to spend real money on the game, you're better off buying whatever you need straight from Armas unless its a Joker Store exclusive item such as legendaries.



And last but not least...

Fight Club is an alternative game mode to the regular missions/action districts. There are two maps with different goals and different playstyles in each for this mode. Fight Club districts are mixed and have no threat level restrictions.





Close to mid range focused 20v20 combat.
JT Goal: Collect money by getting kills, doing objectives and finishing matches in this district to receive JT rewards each week.

Tier 1 (Gold) - Collect X amount of in-game cash - 200 JT (received upon weekly Fight Club Challenges reset)
Tier 2 (Silver) - Collect $6000 of in-game cash - 150 JT (immediate)
Tier 3 (Bronze) - Collect $3000 of in-game cash - 50 JT (immediate)

Tier 1 requirement always depends on how much cash other players have collected during the week. It usually lands around $20,000 right before it resets, so aim for that amount or more to be sure.



Mid to long range focused 16v16 combat.
JT Goals: Complete different small tasks (similar to the daily activities from contacts) in this district to receive JT rewards.

Tier 1 (Gold) - Complete X amount of activities - 200 JT (received upon weekly Fight Club Challenges reset)
Tier 2 (Silver) - Complete 15 activities - 150 JT (immediate)
Tier 3 (Bronze) - Complete 7 activities - 50 JT (immediate)

Tier 1 requirement always depends on how many activities other players have completed during the week. It usually lands around 20+ right before it resets, so aim for that many or more to be sure.


Pressing F6 on your keyboard opens this window that gives you information about the ongoing Fight Club challenges also how long until they reset.

You can purchase any free-to-play (F2P) weapon once you've unlocked it from any of the contacts that are currently availabe to you around the action districts and 2 in Social that are unlocked by default.

Most preset modded F2P weapons are unlocked by progressing contacts. However, unlocking 1, 2 and 3 slotted versions (that you can edit the mods of freely) of different weapon categories is done differently.

Pressing J on your keyboard then clicking on the 'Roles' tab reveals this menu.



Progressing the roles includes using a weapon from the desired category and getting kills in action districts or Fight Club until a certain amount of kills is reached and a level is advanced.

• Rifleman - Assault Rifles (N-TEC 5, STAR 556 and others) - Max Level: 16
  
• Pointman - Close Range Weapons (OCA-EW, Colby PMG, JG and others) - Max Level: 16
  
• Marksman - Semi-autos and burst rifles (Joker SR15 Carbine, Obeya CR-762, OBIR, OSCAR and others) - Max Level: 16
  
• Sniper - High-velocity rifles (N-HVR 762, DMR and others) - Max Level: 16
  
• Machine Gunner - Light Machine Guns (SHAW 556, ALIG and others) - Max Level: 16
  
• Gunslinger - Every secondary weapon in the game (Obeya FBW, RFP, SNR, N-FA 9, PDW...) - Max Level: 6

Level 5 with each primary weapon role unlocks a 1 slot version of each of the weapons in that category.
Level 10 unlocks 2 slot versions.
Level 15 unlocks 3 slot versions.
Level 16 unlocks a fully chrome weapon skin for every weapon in that role category + version of some of the weapons with a different stock (cosmetic change).


Grenadier Level 1 unlocks a character permanent grenade type known as "Percussion Grenades" that have a smaller blast radius and less damage but blow up upon impact with an enemy player, vehicle or any surface.

Grenadier Level 3 unlocks a character permanent grenade type known as "Concussion Grenades" which have smaller blast radius but higher damage than the default Frag Grenades. Mainly used to disable enemy vehicles but they also deal extreme amounts of damage to a player if blown up close enough.

Leveling the Grenadier Role is done by getting kills with grenades on enemies that are on foot. Grenade kills by blowing up a car with an enemy in it or close to it, does not count towards this role. All kills that show a grenade icon killing the player in the red/green kill feed on the top right of the screen, count towards the grenadier role. If they show a skull icon instead then it does not count as that means that your grenade blew something up that was what actually killed the enemy.

Almost all F2P mod preset and open slots vehicles are unlocked by progressing contacts. The open slot ones come in 1, 2, 3 and 4 slotted variants and are fully customizable. Body kits can either be purchased from the Joker Store or for real money from the ARMAS marketplace.

In the Joker Store section I recommend grinding JT for the Vegas 4x4 as its the overall best car in the game and is accessible to either faction completely free to play. If you don't care about having the best and most optimal setups you can go ahead and drive whatever you want but for the purposes of this guide I will only go over the 'meta' vehicles, stats-wise.




The Vegas 4x4 has fast acceleration, speed and very good durability. Its downsides are that it is a 2-seater and is not as maneuverable but still more so than the Pioneer and Espacio. The Vegas 4x4 can be obtained through Armas or the Joker Store.

NOT to be confused with the Han Veo which looks identical



The Coywolf is extremely maneuverable and can easily go into tighter spaces, has the easiest handling overall and offers 4 seats unlike the Vegas. The Coywolf's downside is the car's HP as it is quite fragile and sets on fire quite fast. To obtain a customizable 4-slot Coywolf you'll need to buy it off of Armas, but a preset with the best mods for it can be purchased from the Joker Store.




A relatively new addition to the game, the Mirage is a decent car that is something of a mix of the Vegas and the Coywolf. Its quick and offers fast acceleration but also takes some time getting used to handling it albeit not as much as the Vegas. Its also a tad bit more durable than the Coywolf but not as durable as the 4x4. Similarly to the Coywolf, you have two options to obtain this car. Either through the Armas marketplace or through the Joker Store with a preset design and preset mods which cannot be changed.

F2P Enforcer exclusive


F2P Criminal exclusive


The Pioneer and the Espacio are more durable than either of them and can go decently fast with Nitro 3. They're great for ramming other vehicles and are perfect to use as cover when you need to do an objective safely due to their sheer size. The reasons I rank the Pioneer above the Espacio are that the Espacio's handling is a bit wonky and unstable at times, the passanger seats in the back do not allow you to look/shoot around in 360 degrees when you lean out, but only 180 degrees, and you cannot jump on top of the car from the back/trunk side, unlike the Pioneer which does allow it. The Espacio, however, is very slightly taller so it allows for more hitbox protection when hiding behind it.

The Pioneer and the Espacio can also be obtained from the marketplace (auction house) in Social, usually with body kit cosmetics purchased by other players, applied to F2P versions of the vehicles and put up for sale, also with some kind of design to it.

The Pioneer's F2P version is only available to Enforcers, even on the marketplace from other players. The only ways to obtain it as a Criminal is to purchase it with real money from Armas OR unlock it from a top tier contact with preset (crappy) mods and a preset design that cannot be changed.

The Espacio's F2P version is only available to Criminals, like the Pioneer for Enforcers. The only ways to obtain it as an Enforcer is from Armas or by unlocking it from a top tier contact, again with crappy preset mods and a preset design that you cannot change.

All F2P clothes are unlocked by progressing contacts, both preset and customizable ones. (Except for 2 Enforcer only items that are unlocked by leveling the cop role.)

The symbol designer allows you to create anything you want and then put it all over your clothing or your vehicles




This hoodie design for example is not a default design in the game, it's entirely player generated, based off of a real life hoodie. (Not made by me.)



Its best to just try out the outfit designer yourself and see how powerful it can be.

This is what the theme/song creator looks like. I'm personally not big on music-making but if you are - this is where that happens in APB.

This is what the marketplace looks like (it might not be transparent for you).

Here's what you can buy/sell on the marketplace:

• Legendary Weapons
  
• Clothing
  
• Vehicles
  
• Symbols
  
• Themes
  
• Songs
  
• Mods
  
• Equipment
  
• Etc

Judging what price to put an item for is based on what prices other people are selling it for. And if you want to sell it quickly, just put it to a lower price than the current lowest of that exact item and it should sell in no time, as long as it's a decent item.

If you ever get into APB enough to want to drop some real money, the ARMAS Marketplace[www.gamersfirst.com] is the place to go.

• Premium Currently freely available for every current and newly created account
  
• Clothing pieces or bundles
  
• Weapons with open slots or preset mods
  
• Vehicles with open slots and body kits

Choosing what to buy from ARMAS could be difficult for a new player. The important things to consider are what playstyle you have, which weapon type you like to play the most, which weapon type are you lacking a gun from that you'd like to use. What vehicle you are currently driving and if you need a better car. If you are happy with how your character looks already or you want to spruce things up a bit.

• Up to a 90% bonus to all Contact Standing (XP) gains.
  
• 125% bonus to all APB$ (in-game currency) gains.
  
• Up to a 20% discount in the Armas Marketplace.
  
• Advanced access to customization suites (up to 100 layers).
  
• Extended duration for free Armas trials (from 30 minutes to 3 hours).

Upon reaching Rank 40 (R40), you unlock the ability to equip a lot level 3 mods. These mods are absolutely crucial in order to survive in APB. There are plenty of different mods in the game, but today we will only look at the most widely used ones.


Keep in mind that, just because you've reached R40 doesn't mean that you've unlocked the second mod slot on your character. Additional character mod slots are unlocked from specific contacts for each faction, so it might be a good idea to prioritize leveling those contacts first as you level to R40.

Second and third mod slots are unlocked from the following contacts for each faction. Each contact unlocks 1 extra mod slot once the required level is reached with said contact.

• Location: Financial District.
  
• Contact unlocked by maxing out Ty Durrant.
  
• Extra mod slot unlocked at Level 3.

• Location: Waterfront District.
  
• Contact Unlocked by maxing out Chung-hee.
  
• Extra mod slot unlocked at Level 3.

• Location: Financial District.
  
• Contact unlocked by maxing out Veronika Lee.
  
• Extra mod slot unlocked at Level 3.

• Location: Waterfront District.
  
• Contact unlocked by maxing out Britney Bloodrose.
  
• Extra mod slot unlocked at Level 3.

You may only equip one mod of each color at a time. For example, you cannot equip both Clotting Agent and Kevlar Implants at the same time. The same rules apply to weapons and vehicle mods.

The quickest way to obtain a character mod is to save up ~70,000 APB$ +/- and then purchase it from the Auction House (Green Marketplace in the Social District). Its not ideal but its the best option a new player has.

Orange - Field Supplier standard or Wide-Radius, Blowtorch, Spotter
Green - Clotting Agent 3, Flak Jacket when playing against explosives (OSMAW / O-PGL)
Blue - Valzipram Tablets, Car Surfer, Hard Landings
Yellow - Epinephrine Injector, Resupply Box if not using Field Supplier

• Deploys a Field Supplier for 30 seconds allowing you to resupply and change all weapons but prevents you from moving until you close it

You've already received a Field Supplier from the Basics tutorial and have equipped it, so that should serve you just fine as an orange character mod for now.

• -80% Health regen delay
  
• +100% Health regen time

CA3 is absolutely vital to have as soon as possible as its going to be the main thing keeping you alive. It makes it so your character begins health regeneration almost immediately after you stop taking damage, but it increases the total amount of time thats required to fully regen back to max health. Without it you will take forever to begin health regen and you will get killed by players who do have it more often than not. Its the absolute meta for all players across the game.

• Spawns a Mobile Shield
  
• Can be used as cover once dropped but also while holding it
  
• Duration: 60s

• +30% player health
  
• -20% sprint speed
  
• -20% run speed

Its not recommended to use this mod as APB is all about mobility and being quick on your feet. A lot of new players that lack guidance turn to Kevlar because it seems nice on paper but its not a good option if you want to actually become better at the game in any capacity.

• -100% Falling damage taken
  
• -0.15m/s Falling speed at which you need to brace for impact

Every weapon in the game has optimal mods that are widely used by the majority of the players. Not every mod goes well with every weapon.

All mods are written in order of importance for each weapon. This list will be updated as weapon mods receive changes and as the meta changes with them.

N-TEC 5 - HS3, IR3/LRR, 3PS3 - HB2, CJ2, Mobility Sling are also good options but not meta
OCA-EW - CJ3, RS3, 3PS3
JG - IR3, 3PS3, MP3
Colby PMG - CJ3, RS3, 3PS3
Joker SR15 Carbine - IR3, RS3, 3PS3 - CJ2, RS1/2 are also viable but not meta
N-HVR 762 - 3PS3, HS3, CJ3
Obeya CR-762 - LRR/IR3, HS3, 3PS3 - CJ3, Tagger are also viable but not meta

Equipment goes in the 3 open slots at the bottom of the character loadout menu.
Currently there are only 3/5 open slots and the other 2 cannot be unlocked in any way yet.

All of the equipment pieces become usable once you reach R30 so it is recommended that you pick 3 that you think are best for you. Make sure to always go for Level 4s which is the maximum and they aren't expensive either. Level 4 Equipment goes for ~20,000 APB$ each which realistically isn't that much at all and its worth it because it can and will be the difference between win or loss. They can also be purchased from the Auction House (Marketplace) just like mods.

There is no real meta when it comes to these so it's largely down to personal preference.

The trading system in APB is as easy and safe as any other. Here's how you initiate a trade.

You find the player you are looking to trade with in the district and you press the Player Interaction button ( ">" or "." by default on your keyboard) on them once you are close enough.



You click on "Trade" and then you wait for the other player to either Accept or Decline your offer. This is what they see (and what you'd see if someone requests a trade with you).




If the other player accepts your trade, you are greeted by the trade menu. The rest is pretty easy to figure out on the spot.


Look out for this pop-up to find out if the trade was successful.

Trade locks may occur if you reinstall the game or windows, if you login to the same account from a different computer/IP address, etc and usually last 3 days.

If you have a longer (or permanent) trade lock, you likely violated the APB ToS and you would have to get in contact with Customer Support[www.gamersfirst.com]

Please keep in mind that Ram Raiding and Car Theft are NOT recommended at early stages and let me explain why.

A lot of newbies who pick up APB go straight for ram raiding because they want to get millions of APB$ quickly to buy legendary weapons or cars off the auction. In reality it's a waste of time because you don't progress ranks, you don't unlock weapons or clothing or anything at all. You are just purely grinding APB$ and that can be a colossal waste of time if you end up getting witnessed by an enforcer after hours of stacking your stash and then lose everything in minutes. It's infuriating even for hardcore veterans of APB. It's extremely high risk and not as high reward as you'd think long term. A few million might seem like a lot to a new player but it really isn't that much. I strongly advise AGAINST doing this.

If you want my personal educated opinion - stick to missions, fight club and trading to make your APB$. Missions progress your ranks, roles and unlocks whilst earning you APB$. Fight Club earns you Joker Tickets and weapon role progression whilst earning you APB$. Trading is simply safer and you don't run the risk of getting your hard work thrown down the river.

There are two ways for Criminals to earn APB$ aside from the conventional methods (Missions, Fight Club, Trading etc).

Ram raiding and Stealing and delivering cars. Both of those can be countered by Enforcers however.



Ram raiding is all about breaking shop fronts and garages around the city with your vehicle* which then drop small, medium and large items on the ground.

* Packer Ceresco vans are recommended as they have the biggest cargo capacity and can hold the most amount of items at a time.

You can tell which shop fronts/garages are breakable by aiming at them. If an orange circle appears around your vehicle dot-crosshair and also a text at the bottom of the screen saying Ram Raid appears then it is breakable.



You can then grab them and put them in the back of your vehicle by pressing F near the trunk/back door while holding said item.



If it drops a small item then those small items can be picked up by your character without the need of storing them anywhere. You can carry up to 50 small items on your person at a time. Ram raiding activities increase your Notoriety level.




The next step is that you must go to a criminal contact where you must carry each of those items back out of the trunk of your vehicle and to the contact which will grant you APB$ to your stash (green number top left).





The other open world crime you can commit is mugging civilians. Simply go up to pedestrians on the street and press F.

They also grant money to your stash and sometimes they might drop small or even medium items upon finishing a mugging. Mugging also increases your Notoriety level.


Once you're satisfied with the amount you have in your stash, you must go launder the money to actually receive it at the Money Laundry:


Keep in mind that the higher level your bounty is at the time of money laundering, the bigger multiplier you get of the stash you receive, where the biggest is while you are Notoriety 5 which yields x2 of what you have in your stash upon laundering.

The moment you successfully launder, your Notoriety drops to 0 and your money is safe and ready to be used.

If however you get witnessed and a mission begins, you must look for the Your Drop marker on the map and go there as fast as possible to quickly drop off the stash that is on your person so you don't lose your stash money. Forget about any items you are carrying currently to drop to a contact, those become useless the moment you get witnessed. If however you get killed during the mission, an enforcer can then pick up your stash and deliver it at the Their Drop marker which loses you the mission and the money and they get it for themselves. Whoever is carrying the stash currently is constantly marked on the map so you will know who it is exactly and they will know it is you. If you manage to kill said enforcer back you can retrieve the stash once more and so on.




This largely works in a similar way, except that you just find cars to steal and deliver to Chop Shop markers around the map which grant you stash money depending on the condition of the car upon delivery and also what type of car it is, so make sure to fully repair prior to delivering.

The process of money laundering is the same and you can still be witnessed while doing this all the same.



As an Enforcer you can stalk Criminals who commit crimes and witness them when prompted to. You will know when a Criminal player is able to be witnessed when a small cuffs icon appears next to their name. Simply aim at the player and press your witness button (Left Alt by default but you might want to double check your keybindings first).

You can pick up abandoned cars that were originally stolen by a criminal player to deliver them to an impound station which functions the same way as Criminals delivering them to a chop shop. These cars are marked as Usable - Stolen when you aim at them.

You can drop off their stolen goods to your own Enforcer contacts and then go to an Evidence Vault to collect your cash.

The chatbox is used like in any other MMO game. You can type by pressing Enter on your keyboard. Alternatively you can press "Home" on your keyboard to open up a bigger version of the chat.


This is what the chatbox looks like once you press "Home":


Here are the chatbox commands for switching chat channels:

/say or /s - Say (Chatting in close proximity around you)
/district or /d - District Chat
/yell or /y - Yell (Again, for chatting in close proximity around you)
/group or /g - Chat strictly between you and your group (not team) mates
/team or /t - Chat strictly between you, your group mates (if any) and your fellow team members.
/clan or /c - Chat strictly between you and all of your currently online clan mates.
/whisper <Player_Name> or /w <Player_Name> - Chat strictly between you and said player.
(example: /w Flaws Hi!)
/trade or /tr - Chat strictly between you and the person you are currently trading with (unavailable outside of on-going trade with a player)
/fps - Pulls up the Performance Panel (widely referred to as simply "slash fps") as shown in the screenshot above. It shows your FPS, your latency to the server, the server itself's connection and other things. Writing /fps once more hides that panel.

Important Note: You can answer other players' whispers to you by simply pressing "Backspace" on your keyboard! If you prefer writing it yourself, you can use /r <Message>.

You can create and delete tabs by clicking the + and then editing which chat channels appear in every tab by pressing the cogwheel. Like in my case I have a separate tab that only shows Whispers. Pressing X on a tab deletes it.

You can also personalize your chatbox colors and some other things. Pressing "Home" on your keyboard to reveal the big chatbox, you will see a cogwheel at the top right. Clicking it will reveal a menu where you can select "Options":



In this menu, you can select each chat channel's color individually as well as enable the "Profanity Filter" which censors any profanity in nicknames or in messages from other players across all chat channels and also enable/disable timestamps on all messages that you send/receive in the chatbox.

The arrow at the top right, next to the red X button, resets all colors to the default of the game, in case you mess your colors up.

There are two methods of reporting players in APB: Through the interface which allows you to write a custom message or through a direct chat report if you don't want to bother with the UI.

In order to access the immediate reporting system in-game, all you need to do is write /report in the chatbox and press enter:



That command will open the following menu:


You need to write the reported player's exact nickname, then pick the offense you are reporting them for as well as a sub-category and explain very shortly what the player's behavior was that violates the APB Terms of Service. Then just click "Report".

Pro Tip: If you are trying to report a player with a complicated nickname or you are just lazy, you have more than one option to copy the exact nickname.

1. Press TAB to open the scoreboard, click on the reported player's name and click whisper which will open the chatbox automatically and write out:

/w PlayerName

So then delete the "w" and replace it with "report" so you get:

/report PlayerName

and hit enter.

2) Press HOME on your keyboard to open up the large chatbox window and click on the reported player's nickname on one of the messages they've sent (if any), then follow the same steps as instructed above.


If you don't want to bother with the reporting UI and just want to send in a quick report, simply use one of the following commands: Courtesy of Kevkof[forums.gamersfirst.com]

Note: The downside to this is that there is no way to add in a description to the report.

• /report PlayerName car
  
• /report PlayerName character
  
• /report PlayerName cheating
  
• /report PlayerName communicationharrassment
  
• /report PlayerName dethreating

APB has always had problems with its optimization since it's release: Low FPS, FPS drops, stutters, input lag, etc. As such over the past decade+, the community has come up with many ways to configure and tweak it to make it run as good as it can where in almost all cases that takes a toll on the overall graphics of the game. Configs can also provide some quality of life changes which I will cover in the next section of the guide.

There is very little that you can adjust graphics wise within the in-game video options, so alternative methods are required. The most popular utility players use to adjust their graphic settings for APB is the "Advanced APB Launcher" (AL). AL is software created by the APB player USPStyle that allows you to change every possible aspect of how your APB graphics look which in turn increases or decreases performance.



In essence, the AL is a simple interface that lets anyone edit basic .ini file values without needing any knowledge on tweaking game files:



It automatically detects your graphics configuration file in your APB folder and directly edits it's values to whatever you pick within the AL interface. The file in question is APBCompat.ini located in APB Reloaded\APBGame\Config

AL also has the "No In Game Movies" feature which gets rid of in-game loading screens and movies which slow down game load times significantly. It's a neat feature but it can be achieved easily without AL as well (will cover that further below).


You can download the Advanced APB Launcher here[media.gamersfirst.com] (direct download).

In order to install it, simply copy paste "Game Launcher.dll" and "Advanced APB Launcher.exe" from the ZIP file over to your main APB Reloaded installation folder as shown below:

Typically found in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\APB Reloaded



Keep in mind that you do NOT actually need to launch your game through the Advanced Launcher everytime in order to keep your customized graphics. Since AL edits APBCompat.ini inside the APBGame/Config folder, you can simply edit it with AL, save, then find the file in the folder and copy paste it elsewhere on your PC for future use.

Every time you launch the regular launcher of the game (the updater), it will automatically replace your edited files with the vanilla files from the GamersFirst servers (which you definitely do NOT want at this stage). So here are some tips on how to avoid APB updates from messing with your game:

• Navigate to APB Reloaded\Binaries and make a shortcut of APB.exe to your desktop.
  
• Setup your desired graphics with AL, save them and then find APBCompat.ini and make a copy of it elsewhere. (APB Reloaded\APBGame\Config)
  
• Every time there is an update for the game, simply open the updater and let it update, then close the updater and re-apply your APBCompat.ini file back in the APBGame/Config folder.
  
• Always launch the game from the newly created desktop shortcut which skips the updater and directly launches your game (yes, it does still fully function with Steam).

Important: If you wish to start the game without AL but you want to get rid of the loading screens and movies that slow down game loading times, simply right click the APB desktop shortcut and click Properties.

There look for the "Target" field and at the end of the file path, after the quotations, add a space and then -nomoviestartup as shown here:



Ex. "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\APB Reloaded\Binaries\APB.exe" -nomoviestartup

Make sure to have a space in front!

Alternatively, you could of course open up APBCompat.ini with a text editor (such as Notepad++) and adjust values manually but that's not recommended unless you actually know what you are doing.

Other user made configs for APB include but are not limited to:

• "Always Sprint" - You will no longer need to hold down Shift in order to Sprint. Holding down W alone will make you sprint at all times.
  
  
• "Hold Crouch" - You will have to hold down your crouch key in order to stay crouched. (Useful for peeking over cover quickly).
  
  
• "Mission Stages Description" - Changes the description of each mission at the top right to show each stage of the entire mission as they come and it highlights the stage you are on currently.

These configs are not available within AL but they can be accessed easily from my own public APB config available here[github.com]. I update it periodically when there are new improvements available to the general public. I've included everything that is currently allowed.

For all information of everything APB related, I strongly encourage you to visit the community made APB Database[apbdb.com] (Special thanks to Speed and all the others who've contributed to it's creation.)

I believe that I've covered the most important parts of All Points Bulletin and how to get into the game. I'd greatly appreciate constructive feedback about the guide and if anyone thinks I've missed anything or has any questions, I'd be happy to add more sections explaining those things and adding screenshots if need be.
