Your first hour
- Look around Fort Gainz. The armory, the gym, the workshop and the black market are all here. Nobody can shoot you inside the walls.
- Gear up. Press I to open your loadout and check your rifle and armor before you deploy.
- Hit the gym. Press G to train Strength, Endurance or Agility with the points you earn.
- Deploy to Front 1. Press M, pick The Outskirts and clear its mission: 6 scavengers.
- Use your skills. Keys 2 to 6 fire your hotbar. Use the Med Kit on 6 when your health drops.
- Level up and push deeper. Each front has its own mission. Finish it, then pick the next front on the map.
