How to play

From the hangar to battle and back, plus every control.

The loop of a battle

  1. 01

    In the hangar

    Pick your vehicle and look at it up close, then choose the battle: map and mode, with how many players are on right now.

  2. 02

    Gathering and deployment

    In a match with bots you wait 40 seconds in the hangar lobby while players gather, then you get 20 seconds at the start: everyone holds still and can only aim, with a countdown.

  3. 03

    In battle

    One life: win by capturing the enemy base or destroying every opponent, in 10 minutes at most. Tab shows the players' table.

  4. 04

    Summary and back to the hangar

    At the end you see the result and both teams' scores, then you go back to the hangar for the next one. Esc also lets you leave early.

Match with bots

Six against six with bots filling the teams: gathering, deployment, one life and bases to capture.

Free play

Join whenever you like, respawn 10 seconds after being knocked out, no end and no bots: to try vehicles and maps.

Controls

These are the default keys: you can change all of them from the menu, with Esc and then Settings.
