Warbands

Tips for Warbands

Warbands is won by the team that holds its ground and moves together, not by running off alone. The maps are compact, so think about positioning: know where your own flag sits, which routes lead to the other team's flag and where you can cover a teammate who is carrying it. A flag that reaches home is worth more than a lone dash that ends halfway.

Pick a loadout that fits the job you want to do. Use Shift to crouch behind cover and Space to jump, and reload with R before you step out rather than in the middle of a fight. Matches are quick, so if one goes badly, try a different loadout in the next.

How to play Warbands

Warbands is a team-based first-person shooter played as capture the flag. Two teams take the field on a compact, low-poly map, and each team tries to capture the other side's flag while guarding its own. Before you join, build your loadout from rifles, pistols, knives, revolvers, rockets and grenades, and kit out your soldier with hair, beards, masks, hats, shirts, vests, shoes and gloves.

Once a match starts, positioning and teamwork decide the round. Know where your own flag sits, which routes lead to the other team's flag and where you can cover a teammate who is carrying it. Moving between cover with your team usually works better than a lone dash across the map. Matches are quick and easy to drop into, which makes it simple to try a different loadout in the next one, and an invite link opens a private match with friends.

On a computer, move with WASD, shoot with the mouse, aim with the right mouse button, jump with Space, crouch with Shift and reload with R; 1 to 5 pick a weapon and Q switches back to the previous one. Esc releases the mouse cursor. On a phone or tablet, turn the screen sideways and play with the on-screen controls: a stick to move, drag to look, and buttons to fire, aim, jump, crouch, reload, throw a grenade and switch weapon.
