Operator's field guide
Everything worth knowing before the first fight: what you see, what to press, how credits are counted and what the satellite fears.
What the game is
A first-person tactical shooter in the "bodycam" style: the camera on your chest, a body with weight, weapons with real recoil. There is no health bar — there is signal: wounds, the zone and its edge tear the picture with grain and noise; a dropped link is death. Three modes: Duel 1 v 1 (three wins in a row open the final), Final for eight (satellite, zone, entry 2 CR — the winner takes the entries) and Training (bots don't kill, nothing counts). Between fights — the hub: briefing room, a screen replaying your last fight, the armory counter, the range.
Controls
| W A S D | move · SHIFT sprint (forward only, costs breath) · CTRL crouch · ALT quiet step · SPACE jump and vault |
| LMB / RMB | fire / aim; SHIFT while aiming holds breath |
| R N | reload · fire mode |
| 1 2 Q | weapons; Q cycles: rifle → pistol → grenade → bandage. With a grenade in hand LMB winds up, release throws (hold longer — throws farther) |
| E G T | take (a gun from the ground; from a body — gun, bandage, grenades; an empty slot fills itself) · drop · quick grenade |
| C H | shield with the weapon (it takes the hit, costs durability; no firing while blocking) · bandage (6 s without a weapon) |
| M L F | scan terminal (hold; weapon down) · camera light (you are seen) · bullet line |
| TAB B ESC | score (hold) · loadout · menu |
Battle panel
Squad top-left, pulse with an ECG top-right (rises with sprint and wounds — widens your spread), wind, temperature and zone bottom-left, call sign, weapon with magazine and pouch bottom-right. Notices stack at the top: battle start, zone, satellite, CAUGHT, reloading, the weapon card under the crosshair ("AK-105 · 64% · E TAKE"). At spawn — ten seconds for consumables: bandage 1 CR, grenade 1 CR, repair by wear.
Satellite, terminal, zone
The satellite passes on a schedule (in the final). Ten seconds before — a warning; whoever crouches and holds still is not in the frame. The snapshot is the position of everyone standing; you read it on the tablet in your left hand (M): map, zone, dots, the trail of the last three passes, a list of who was caught with directions. While you read, your gun is down — and your killer will see "he was reading the terminal" in the debrief. The zone shrinks on a schedule; past its edge the signal tears.
Economy: one credit — one kill
+1 CR for a kill, −1 for your death, never below zero. Killing the same victim again pays only every fifth time — there is no farming. There is no other source of credits, so a price reads in people.
Weapons
Modifiers: suppressor 10 CR (quieter, flash almost gone), weapon light 6 CR (on the muzzle, you are seen). Paints: OLIVE 4 · DESERT 4 · WORN BLACK 3 · SNOW 6.

Items, durability and the block
Every gun is an item with a history: where from, when, how many it killed, how much life is left. Durability is spent by blocking (C): the gun takes three quarters of the damage instead of you; at zero it falls apart and is gone for good. Repair at the armory — half the price by wear. On the site you can list an item on the market, sell it or hand it over.
Three lives
Die and you come back in five seconds one step lower: main gun → spare → starting pistol. Your place is set by the last dropped link.
Hub, range, network
Hub — the briefing room between fights: walk around, E at the armory counter, the bar screen replays your last fight, the table shows the final's map with marks. B opens PLAY, ESC the menu.
Range — sheets at 25 / 50 / 100 m and a manikin; six steps: hit, reload, aim, hold breath, a ten-shot series (goes to your card), terminal. Every weapon type lies on the bench — E.

The world answers
Doors open and get shot through like wood, wooden crates can be pushed, plywood opens a hole after twelve hits, lamps break, mud slows you down and makes noise. Bullet whiz by your head, blast concussion, hit direction at the crosshair, Bullet Line — a warning that someone is aiming at you.
