Beginner F.A.Q's

This page is design for the most common and oddly specific question that some beginner player's might want to ask.

Check out the Visual Directory for easy info in image form.

Let's begin.

1. How/When/Where does item drop happens?
	* Item are periodically(randomly) spawn by drop pods all around the map. Generally speaking they don't have a set time or place of drops. Item drops occur even when there is no vision in an area, so it is a good idea to check an area from time to time.
2. Why does my experience keep on reseting/un-accumulate itself?
	* Experienced/game count is saved automatically on the 5 minute mark or when the game *ended*(victory or defeat). Due to this, games that ended midway are not saved, this includes experienced gained in that run. To be sure that your experienced are save regardless of victory or defeat, players are recommended to periodically manually save by clicking the save button on the HUD console(right beside the portrait).
3. How do i get weapons and armor?
	* Weapons and Armor are drop randomly across the map. To make it easier to identify, these caches are colored dark-green.
4. Weapon Jammed!!! What do i do now?
	* Simply un-jam your weapon by going into the additional command section on your HUD console and click un-jam weapon. The most common keyboard shortcut is by pressing Z and then proceeded by W.(Keys can be different according to your keyboard settings).
5. I CANT SHOOT!! It keeps telling me to reload, but when i pressed the reload key nothing happens?? WTF?
	* To reload there must be magazine consume and loaded. Ensure you have the correct amount of magazine in your stats. Note also "Ammo Case" contain magazines, however it does not automatically deploy the magazines inside it, players will have to deploy it manually.
6. I played a game and i have no clue what is happening, everyone's shouting directions, telling me what to do and it is so confusing, please help me.
	* Each game have their own game modes that is voted on earlier of that run. See here for more information Game modes.
	* For easy identification of modes press F12 button and it will display the game modes and modifiers at the top.
7. Kite, everyone keeps shouting that while pinging on my character(MOS). What is it? Do i actually have a kite? I haven't been to the playground in years??!
	* A kite is role that is given to certain classes of MOS in the game. Their job is to bait the zombies around for the dps to kill, this is called zombie kiting >hence kite. For more information on informal roles see this section > Classes.
	* Certain MOS(classes) are born to kite for example flamethrower, cyborg, etc. Learning to kite is a ritual that all players must undergo, there is no way around it, in cases where you do not have the confidence to kite, tell the truth. Someone will reluctantly take over the kite role.
8. "SI, Pick your SI!!" You keep hearing this phrase in most of the game that you join. What is it? I learnt Mexican during my undergrad why are ppl telling me "*YES*"
	* SI are short for Skill Identifier, they give many flexible benefit that you can personalized according to your playstyle. Each new game, you are allowed to choose 2 SI. Be careful once chosen it cannot be changed.
	* To see what SI your allies picked, simply press HUD on your console(They are besides your characters portrait).
9. I saw several amazing classes, like robot and drones and cloaking snipers. What are those and how do i play them?
	* Those are most likely mech operator, Combat Engineer(with GM si) and Specter. See this section for more info > Classes, Skill Identifier
10. I saw some awesome colorful skins on other players characters(MOS), what are those and how do i get them?
	* Those are called camos, you can find the camo button on the console right next to the portrait. Clicking it will list all the camos that you have unlocked. To get new camos you can read the Camo section for ways to unlock them.
11. Why is that dude more faster than me?
	* Some class have a natural higher Move Speed than others, you can find the move speed information in game by moving your cursor on top of your Armor stats in game. Or you can check out the information in the class section.
	* Some Skill Identifier(SI) also improves your move speed with certain drawbacks.
12. Do i respawn if i die?
	* No you do not respawn. A combat medic is the only class that can revive a dead player, you will have to wait until a medic comes over to you and cast revive.
	* You can draw attention to your location by alt+click on your body to highlight the body position for the medic.
13. What is Hyperpulse, Hyperpmc and Hyperbm?
	* These refer to additional modifers which increase the difficulty and spawns increased number of units however grants more experience.
	* Hyperpulse is for Survival modes and spawns more undead each wave.
	* Hyperpmc is for PMC modes and spawns more PMC each wave.
	* Hyperbm is for Boss modes and reduces the time for bosses to spawn from every 5 minutes to every 2.5 minutes.
