Class Selection
HOW DO I CHANGE MY GUN??

If you're solo... you can't.

While in a co-op lobby, you can select a class by clicking on your name/your friend's name and selecting one of the four classes available:
Ready
Basic Rifleman w/ Frag Grenades

Team
Team leader w/ Grenade launcher attachment

Fire
Autorifleman w/ M249 (goes brrr)

Assist
Chad w/ Shotgun as primary and M16 as a secondary
Missions
HOW DO I SELECT A DIFFERENT MISSION

Mission/map layouts in this game are randomised, but follow a specific mission type/objective.
To select different mission type, simply return to lobby. Each time you start the mission you'll get something random.

If you hit retry, you will get the same mission type with a different map layout.

There are 4 mission types currently:

Apartment w/ Minaret Sniper
Clear an apartment building and secure friendlies from the roof.

Heli Support
Clear an area for air units to proceed safely.

Protect Convoy
Look after the convoy and ensure it doesn't get BLAP'd by an RPG or VBIED

Fortified Compound
Clear a fortified compound of enemies, tear down the flag, survive a counter attack.
Insurgent Reactions
AI will react to your voices, footsteps and flashlights.

USE THIS INFO WISELY.
How to Check Map, Objective, Timer, Ammo etc.
You can do most of this by either tapping or holding the ALT key.

Tap to check ammo and compass.

Hold to check map, timer, objectives.

Important Hotkeys + Small Tips
Hotkeys:
  • Tap R = Check Mag*
  • HOLD R = Reload* These can be swapped in the settings menu
  • Scroll while holding RMB = Swap between point firing/ADS
  • C = Ping
  • X = Flashlight
  • Y = Fire mode (Semi/Burst/Auto)
  • Hold spacebar = Radio
  • Tap spacebar = Voice Line (varies based on situation)
  • Hold F on a downed friendly to revive them
  • Hold Shift while opening doors to breach. Sometimes doors require a few kicks to open.
  • Double tap shift to sprint faster

Tips:
  • Stop moving to automatically check for wounds when hit
  • You can res your dead buddies once per mission by returning to the AAV
  • Shotgun can breach doors - shoot the handle.
  • Game is best played without Discord comms!
  • Grenade launcher will instantly stop VBIED's - Team Leader should be quick on this

Can you change classes now with the AI teammates now? Or solo still only has one kit.

How do you know which fire mode you're on? And how do you stop a VBIED with a rifle/SAW (weakspots)?
