Introduction and Settings
Hello and welcome to my guide.


Before we begin, the settings of the game are very important. Most notably is Connection Settings.

Most of you have probably simply put this up to the highest, now let me tell you what is wrong with that.

The game does not automatically detect your internet speed. This setting does not limit your internet speed, nor does it extend it. This setting is for you to tell the game what your internet speed is. If you are truthful about your internet speed and put it low or medium, you won't be the host but you won't give anyone a terrible laggy game. If you're truthful and put it high, you sometimes will be the host and hopefully give everyone a nice, barely laggy game that everyone can enjoy.

Should you lie and put it low, nothing happens. Maybe you don't like being the host and thats all right.
You will not get any advantage for being the host and making everyone else lag.

If you lie and put it high, you'll give everyone a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ game that matchmaking forces them in to, they'll all leave, and you won't find another game for a while.

If you have a good computer, you can put all other settings up on high. Be warned though, the panning menu screens will often give even a good computer a run for its money.

If you have a laptop or a poor performance computer, keep in mind that lowering the resolution (not aspect ratio) will decrease RAM usage signifigantly.
Health/Ammo Stations
Health and Ammo Stations (They go by another name ingame, can't remember what.) resupply your health and ammo. At what rate depend on your overall health and the specific weapon. Some weapons that use large projectiles or ammo types often only resupply one shot at once, while others resupply 5 or whole magazines of they load more than one shot at once.

Never stay at a Health/Ammo station too long, its easy to be ambushed and spammed while at it. Leave it with what health you have if sustained fire comes upon it.

Also, Health and Ammo stations are a good place to do ambush yourself. Leave a Jack in the Box around it and it'll fit right in to the rag tag design of the health station. A bear trap or two instead wouldn't be so out of place either. Or just storm it with a thunder dragon. If they're there, they're often low on health and you can decimate an entire team as they retreat from an assault on an encampment of your team.
Notable Weapon Combonations
1. A Dawn Patrol and Gatekeeper on a strong body type with the Energy Drink and Grappling hook often is a force to be reckoned with. It can take on armoued Mightys with shredders and armoued Speedys with Katanas and Roller Skates alike.

Wall of Shame
This is a list of people where matchmaking has forced me into a poor game hosted by them more than once, and despite me saying their name several times they refused to awknowledge I was trying to talk to them regardless of their nationality and language. I'd leave if you're in a match with these people as chances are you're already lagging if you see them.

this game is worth being on my pc just for those 1/1000 full lobbies that happen on weekends at the right time.

Body type and gadgets play a lot into it. Bigger bodytype means slower, whereas mobility goosting gadgets like the roller skates and the grappling hook can speed things up significantly.

I just started playing...

Is the movement speed extremely slow, or am I crazy?
