This isn't Call of Duty, Battlefield or Rainbow 6 Siege. You are not a one man army, you are very squishy and if you're foolish the bots and enemy players will have a field day with your corpse, repeatedly. IT IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED THAT YOU PLAY PvE FIRST TO LEARN THE GAME BEFORE GOING INTO PvP! Or else you will have a very not fun time. I understand that the game forces you into PvP as part of the Training Objectives, but it is recommended you get the fundamentals down before getting into PvP, this guide will help with much of the info you need. Be Forewarned: Caliber's community is Merciless, veteran players get excited when they see a newbie on the enemy team because they know the match will be easy. They will not go easy on you, they will not take pity on you. The purpose of this guide is to help you understand the mechanics at play while in a Point Sweep mission, basic teamwork tips & tricks, and your class role during a mission. The majority of this guide will exclusively cover Point Sweep mission types and will generally not take into account the mechanics and nuances of PvP, PvPvE, Special Operations or Onslaught game modes. That being said, this guide will give you an idea of the fundamentals that will help you and your team in the above gamemodes. Disclaimer: This is not a How-to-Play guide, much of the information here is rule-of-thumb and based on my own personal experience and observations of what behavior and actions lead to a successful operation. Make of it what you will, you don't have to agree with the guide, the purpose is to help Caliber's newest players establish a baseline for what to do and clue them in on some of the unspoken rules during a mission. That being said, if you have any recommendations or constructive criticism, I will take it into consideration. Class-Specific Sections of this guide Some players prefer to specialize in one or two particular classes, and that is okay, you don't need to know all the nuances of every class to play well, but it is recommended. The class sections below detail the various class-specific tips, tricks and nuances as well as recommended starting Operators for new players. These are some important tips to keep you and your team alive during a Point Sweep mission, some of these may seem like basic common sense tips to some, but are Vitally important to your success nonetheless. Rules of Thumb: Don't rush the objective, Wait for your team! I've seen Rank 51 players do this as much as Rank 1 players, it almost always gets one or more of your teammates downed and too far away to be revived. Most of the time this leads to a defeat that could've easily been avoided. Medic is the only class with more than 1 revive so hold off on reviving your teammates unless you're in a dire situation, general rule of thumb is try to keep your revive for the Medic. I've been in more than one situation where all other players are out of revives and the Medic is downed. If you want more revives as a non-Medic class, get the Medic Operator Mikolaj, his personal skill will give you more revives. Stay with your team , the game generally punishes Lone Wolves and unless you have a tried-and-true plan of engagement, you will most likely get downed and force your Medic/team into a dangerous engagement to try and revive you. The game will reward you and your team for moving and fighting as a cohesive unit, communicate if you can, utilize the tag button to keep your team aware of nearby dangers. If you must split up, move in teams of two. Again, the bots will usually pick off a lone operator so do your best to cover for each other. Playing the Medic, your primary job is to heal your squad . Medic operators are generally very squishy, you're not the front-linesman, that's the job for Support and Assault. Your loadout is to help you clear the area when trying to revive your teammates. Stay in cover! This is arguably one of the most important tips, enemy bots are designed to punish players caught out in the open. So stay in cover as much as you can and when you have to move, plan on moving to cover and if you can, keep cover between you and the enemy. If you get downed, crawl to the nearest cover, this is so vitally important and will make your Medic's life so much easier when reviving you. It is very easy to get wiped during a mission because one player went down out in the open and got the Medic killed trying to revive that player. While you're downed try to mark enemies that may be trying to flank the Medic while he revives you, let him know that he is in danger. Ideally, the Medic/other teammates will eliminate the impending danger before reviving you. Don't do stupid ♥♥♥♥ if you want to win the Point Sweep, I myself have been guilty of this. Just because your Recruit teammate blew up your carefully laid mine while you were on top of it does not mean you should strap him with his own mine and turn him into a Jihad suicide bomber, speaking from personal experience. Even a Recruit player is valuable to the team. Bot RPGs, Marksmen and Chemists are high priority targets! These are the team-wiping bots, and if they are not dealt with immediately, they will make completing the mission much more difficult. RPGs are capable of wiping out your entire team, especially the Incendiary variant. One lucky shot may not kill you outright, but the flames will most likely end the mission for your team. The easiest way to outplay an RPG is by not giving it the chance to fire. Chemists will launch gas grenades with extreme accuracy and while the gas may not kill you if you're smart and have some health, it's enough to push you out into the open for other bots to wipe your team. But if your team is heavily wounded, a single gas grenade is enough to down most of you, best way to deal with a Chemist is, like the RPG, by not giving it a chance to fart your team to death. Marksman may not be quite as dangerous as RPGs or Chemists, but they still pose a serious threat, especially during critical moments such as when your injured Medic is desperately trying to revive you. The best way to deal with a Marksman is, you guessed it, kill it before it can get a shot off. Alternatively, bob and weave, ideally you shoot the marksman for some health, duck behind cover, rinse and repeat until the Marksman is dead. Learn the patterns of the mission and their variations. Each mission has 1-3 variations of what your next objective is going to be, and bots spawn at specific spots in each of those variations. The more you can predict where the enemy bots are going to spawn, the less likely you are going to be surprised by a flanking Assault bot and mowed down. Every mission has a timer, you will lose if time runs out , however, every mission gives you ample time to complete it, so if you can, take things cautiously throughout the mission unless you have a plan/know what you are doing. This is especially important during a critical moment if 2 or more teammates are downed, or your team is heavily injured. Take time to heal up, make a visual sweep of your environment, play smart and don't panic. Every defeat is a learning opportunity , make mental notes of what went wrong and how to avoid it in the future. Make note to kill that RPG or Chemist first thing, what mistakes did you make that could've been avoided? Not everyone has learned the mission patterns, not everyone knows that the bots are very dangerous. Group up in a Fireteam there are lots of veteran players who are more than happy to teach, and a lot of people who's playstyle synergizes with yours. Don't be afraid to friend them and invite them to your Fireteam. Your Squad is your backbone , and every one of them, newbie or veteran, is important to successfully completing the mission. Caliber has a relatively small player base and every act of compassion, just like every act of aggression, carries over to the next game for that person or persons. Inspire success, teach what you can, and be a player
