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

Add “W+Shift = Sprint” and “W+Shift x2 quickly = Sprint faster” . Didn’t know the last one until yesterday
What is the fire selector button? I am getting pretty irritated whenever I redeploy through reinforcement and my M16 is set to full-auto, only to make it so I can’t hit anything.
Y to select fire mode 🙂
You can breach the door by hold shift + f either to kick the door (twice sometimes or 1) or use the ram to clear the door.
