Short instructions
UAR is a team game that more uses shoot&run tactics than action. This game requires a lot of patience. Main tasks are:- Survive
- Complete objectives
To survive you have to do simple thing: don't play Rambo.
- Most of the time it is much easier, safer and faster to run away and complete task than try to shoot every zombie you see.
- Next thing you have to rememeber is that friendly fire always active. You can kill your teammates with bullets, rockets, grenades, explosives, abilities and even accidently. So, be careful. The whole game can be ruined with accident teamkill.
- All equipment is destructable. You can destroy every sort of useful items with explosions or direct shooting. Be cautios.
- Also, don't be greedy: first, you can't take everything; second, most of the equipment is class-restricted (ex.: you can't use Spec-Ops Kevlar Armor if you're not a ghost or scout, etc). Read item-boxes descriptions.
- Instead of being greedy, bring all items that can be used by your team into the base (Thalim city or where you decided to camp)
- Use hotkeys often (especially sprinting (Z+T) and jumping (Z+Q), see the key-list below)
- Don't leave the game if you died. Medics can revive you, but sometimes you just need to wait for help a little.
Now, a little about the details.
- Full game lasts about 1.5 hours. It has several chapters, each contains some number of objectives. Some objectives sre activating in random order, so each game can be different in its way.
- At the beginning you can play as a Rifleman or a Medic. Remember: the Medic is weak in shooting, its job is to heal and revive.
- For each game you get some portion of XP. You need it to unlock new classes and perks.
- If you wish to leave the game, but planning to play in future - save your XP before leave (diskette icon above "Stop" command, see HUD section)
- DON'T pick BIG RED BOXES up. Those contains equipment for vehicles (Walker, helicopter), you'll be overweighted if you do. the overweight is deadly.
- Also you'll be overweighted if you have more than 15 active clips. If you have, just press Z+D to drop some clips to inventory
- Sometime your weapon is getting jammed. If your character suddenly stopped shooting, but you have some active ammo in your pockets - press Z+A
