Each character has unique abilities. When selecting a new character you can view their abilities at their "Loadout" screen. The majority of characters have abilities that are classified as utility, offensive, and recovery/defensive. Characters have two general types of weapons, and a unique category that contains weapons that only they can use. For example, Wil's main weapons are the SMG and shotgun, while Astoria uses assault rifles and sniper rifles.
Chests
There are 2 chests available to collect free items. You can open a regular chest for free daily. The premium chest can be opened every two days.
Combat
Always keep your weapons reloaded. If your primary weapon ends up out of ammunition, switch to your secondary and continue. Do not attempt to reload your primary weapon while under fire. When an opponent is near the center of your crosshair, you will remain locked on until they move too far away. Remain mobile as often as possible to reduce incoming damage. You can circle strafe your opponents but do not move in the same direction for too long. Jumping is also a good way to keep out of your opponent's targeting sights.
Come Back for More
Every day, you can open a loot chest and find some new gear. Every two days, you can open a premium chest for a special prize. Make sure that you return on that schedule to see what else is waiting. It's a great way to get a boost that costs you nothing.
Missions
Complete missions to earn coins, as well as armor pieces for those that are character-specific. Armor pieces resemble silver tokens and are used to craft equipment.
Missions Rule
By completing missions, you can earn a variety of rewards. The standard mission tends to offer coins, but you might also be able to build up a suit of armor by tending to character-specific missions. Keep in mind that armor pieces also can serve as scrap when you want to put together some gear, so they're worth you're attention.
Reloading Sucks
Between gun battles, make sure you fill up your gun's ammo so that you're less likely to run out of firepower in the middle of an epic duel. If the worst happens and you do face that particular scenario, just switch to your secondary weapon. It might not be your preferred choice, but it's still better than wasting precious time trying to reload.
