Bridge Battles!
How the game works
Summary
Two teams compete to complete their bridge and reach the end first. While your team builds, the other team is trying to kill your players and smash your bridge apart with RPGs — and you need to do the same to them. The first team to finish their bridge wins, so speed on the build and pressure on the enemy both matter.
- Goal
finish your bridge before the other team finishes theirs
- Building
your team constructs the bridge section by section
- Combat
RPGs let you kill enemies and blow up their bridge
- Victory condition
first team to reach the end wins

Getting started in your first match
Step
Teams are assigned automatically when the match starts, so the first thing to do is find your teammates and figure out who does what. Splitting responsibility between builders and fighters immediately stops everyone from doing the same thing and leaving the other job undone.
- Find your team
check who is on your side as soon as the match loads
- Split roles
decide who builds and who fights before anyone runs off
- Get familiar with the RPG
practice the feel of it so you are not fumbling when an enemy appears
- Use the chat
quick messages to teammates keep the whole team on the same page
Builder and fighter roles
Tips
Splitting your team into builders and fighters is the most reliable way to keep both jobs moving. Builders who stray into fights slow the bridge, and fighters who wander off let enemies walk straight to your construction.
- Builders should work from spots that are harder for enemies to target, such as elevated or places that are hard for enemies to see
- Fighters need to track enemy positions and warn builders when danger is close
- When the enemy bridge is almost finished, fighters should drop everything and go destroy it
- When your own bridge is nearly done, everyone shifts to defence so enemies cannot sabotage the final stretch
- If enemies are thin in one area, that is the moment to send attackers at their bridge
Fighting enemies effectively
CheckOne player charging a group of enemies will almost always lose. The winning approach is to call teammates over, surround the enemy, and cut off their escape. After you take someone down, immediately use the opening to hit their bridge before they respawn and return.
- Alert teammates the moment you spot an enemy rather than engaging alone
- Coordinate to come at enemies from more than one direction so they cannot run
- Fight from higher ground when possible you are safer and harder to hit back
- Close the gap before firing because enemies who are too far away are easy to miss
- Switch straight to bridge destruction right after a kill while the enemy team is short a player
Destroying the enemy bridge
TipsTaking down an entire enemy bridge in one go is rarely possible, so consistent partial damage is the smarter play. Every second the enemy spends repairing is a second they are not building, so even small hits add up. Time your attacks around enemy deaths so you have the fewest players to deal with.
- Go for the middle sections of the bridge first
- Start breaking from areas where the enemy has fewer defenders
- Destroy the bridge while enemies are repairing it so their effort is wasted
- When the enemy bridge is almost done, pull your whole team to demolish it before they finish
- If your own bridge is very close to completion, finishing it takes priority over attacking theirs

Fixing a match that is going wrong
Check
When a match feels like it is slipping away, take a moment to work out why rather than just trying harder at the same thing. A few quick adjustments to who is doing what can completely change the flow of the game.
- Bridge building too slow check whether fighters keep pulling builders away from construction
- Getting pushed back count whether you have enough fighters to match the enemy numbers
- Bridge keeps getting wrecked in the same spot the enemy has found a weak point
- Team not coordinating start using the chat actively to direct people rather than assuming they know the plan
- Enemy bridge nearly done decide right now whether attacking it or racing to finish yours is the faster path to a win

Common questions
FAQCan I choose which team I join?
Teams are assigned automatically at the start of each match. As soon as you load in, check which team you are on and connect with your teammates straight away.
What happens when I kill an enemy player?
Killing an enemy sends them back to respawn, leaving their bridge temporarily less defended. Use that window to move in and destroy as much of their bridge as you can before they return.
Can I play without friends?
Yes — matchmaking pairs you with random players, so you do not need friends available to get into a game. Communicating through the in-game chat helps you coordinate with whoever you are teamed with.
