Cheat Sheet

Pre-Mission Checklist

• Gather with others for briefing.
• Change your compass to max distance. Ctrl +
• Adjust your local speech volume to 3/4. TAB
• After briefing, put in earplugs.
• Eat and drink before getting equipped.
• Follow others - usually to helicopter or vehicle.
• Get into vehicle quickly with SPACE or v or mousewheel/select seat/wheel press
• Try to follow map whilst en route for general awareness. M

Weapons Keys

• 0 (zero) to sling on shoulder. Least fatigue and necessary to use medical skills.
• Double Ctrl' to hold weapon pointing down at ground. Polite in friendly company. Uses less fatigue.
• 1/2/3 usually 1 - brings primary, secondary or tertiary weapon to bear.
• Right mouse click to bring sights to eye.
• Right mouse hold to zoom slightly

Medical

• H key - check the casualty is the focus, not you. You can swap in the menu.
• If your buddy got shot, somebody shot them. Is it safe for you to go in to rescue? Consider using smoke or winning the firefight first.
• Focus on stabilising the casualty and moving them to a safe place. This may mean tourniquets, bandages and CPR, but don't be afraid to pick them up if you're not safe where you are.
• Anything past 'lost some blood' will need a medic. Stabilise, provide CPR as required and take your casualty to the medic. Continue CPR while waiting for the medic to get to your casualty.
• A 'strong heart beat' is an indication that your casualty may need morphine to stop them entering cardiac arrest. Do not give more than 2 doses of morphine in a short space of time.

Movement

• Running - it's really hard to tell if you are crouched. Press x to toggle crouch and try not to run crouched as it will eat fatigue.
• Crouching or lying prone while stopped will regain stamina faster.
• Moving with your sights up will slow you down and eat stamina faster.
• If you can't seem to run and have tried everything else, try Ctrl C

Buddies

• Get a buddy and try to stay with them. Ramboing off will get you killed, or your buddy killed. Stay in sight/hearing/radar range of them. This is a team game, not Call of Duty.
• Talk to your buddy and get them to talk to you to communicate when you are moving off and where.
• If you haven't heard from your buddy in a few minutes, check on them. Especially in vehicles!

Radio

• Be concise on the radio CAPS LOCK will use your primary radio.
• Think before you PTT. Air time is precious.
• Consider if you need to use the radio, or if you should move closer to speak in person.
• DO use the radio for immediate emergencies and contact reports

General

• Eat and drink when your icons start to show dark yellow/orange and you have a moment.
• Check your ammo regularly and tell your squad lead if you start to run short.
