How a match works from start to finish
Step
When you launch the game you land in a lobby where you choose your team and arrange your equipment before entering the battlefield. Matches are quick, so every round counts toward your scoreboard position. Playing the objective and supporting teammates matters just as much as your kill count.
- Pick your team choose which side you want to fight for in the lobby before the match starts.
- Set your loadout select the weapons and gear you have unlocked before you enter the battlefield.
- Play the objective complete the mission goals shown on screen, not just chase kills.
- Stay with your team moving with teammates gives you more chances to survive and score.
Earning Credits and Warbonds
Tips
Every match you complete gives you Credits and Warbonds, the two currencies used to unlock new weapons and gear. Daily and weekly missions pay out more than a standard match. Both currencies feed into the same weapon-unlock screen, so earning either one moves you forward.
- Play normal matches to earn Credits.
- Check the daily and weekly mission list each session so you know which goals to chase.
- Mission rewards are higher than standard match payouts.
- Once a weapon is unlocked you can swap it in from the equipment screen before any match.

When you are stuck or losing too often
CheckBefore blaming bad luck, run through this checklist after a rough match.
- Make sure you have equipped a weapon you have already unlocked.
- Look at the mission objective screen if you have been ignoring it, you are leaving score on the table every match.
- Consider the map layout before pushing; wide-open battlefields favour long-range weapons, while tighter ones favour faster-firing guns.
