There’s no bond quite like the bond between you and your squad. You may fight together, even die in-game together, but you’ll always have each other’s backs. Join us as we take a closer look at squad play in World War 3 in our latest Feature Spotlight!



World War 3 currently features two different modes. Tactical Ops, which pits five-player squads (for a total of 40 players in each match) against each other to attack or defend capture points, and Team Deathmatch, a classic FPS mode that’s an action-packed, 10-versus-10 race to victory. Though very different, both modes share one thing in common: teamwork is the key to victory.

World War 3 was always envisioned to be a game founded on cooperative as well as competitive play. Even if you fight well solo, sometimes you’ll need to work together to attain victory. We recommend teaming up with squadmates you know for the optimum tactical experience, but you can work just as effectively with a squad you’ve just met.


Follow our top tips for working together, and you’ll be taking the battlefield by storm in no time!

• Use Voice Chat: Fast response times are critical, and coordinating over voice chat is one of the best, most direct ways to sync with your team.
• Issue Orders: Squad leaders can issue orders, so it pays to have a tactical genius heading up your team.
• Follow Orders: There’s a good incentive to listen to your squad leader. Follow orders to enjoy bonus XP! Additionally, if you capture objectives as a squad, your capture time decreases for extra squadmate present.
• Clear Communication: Let squadmates know about imminent threats, or where to focus their fire.
• Focus Your Efforts: Try to coordinate your firepower to attack or defend key positions.
• Share Equipment: If your allies need a hand, share your supplies to help them out. You never know when you’ll need to call in a favor, too!
• Mind Your Surroundings: Watch your allies’ sixes from the air using flying drones, and even weaponize them to provide top aerial support.
• Disrupt Enemy Comms: Use the jammer to disrupt enemy communications, isolate them, and pick them off amidst the technical chaos.
• Operate Vehicles: Roll out together in vehicles and tanks to reclaim the streets and battlefields. You can assign and adopt different positions such as driver and gunner, too.
• Deploy Strikes: Make it safe for your squad by launching artillery and other strikes to clear areas out before moving in to clean up what’s left.

Teams who master the art of cooperation will find a world of tactical possibilities at their disposal. Squad up and prepare to fight in World War 3!

Learn how to use any and all tools at your disposal to attain victory in World War 3. Start your engines and join us as we take a look at a diverse convoy of vehicles in our latest Feature Spotlight!



Vehicles are critical to battle strategy and immersion in World War 3. You can use them to move around maps, retreat, or push your advantage, and there are specific vehicle types specialized in combat and surveillance, too:

• Aerial Drones: Survey the battlefield with these eyes in the sky.
• Land Drones: Monitor proceedings surreptitiously from ground level.
• Transport Vehicles: Move quickly to an objective, to aid your squad, or get out of hot water.
• Infantry Fighting Vehicles (IFVs): Outgun enemy squads with heavier firepower.
• Armored Fighting Vehicles (AFVs): Get extra protection as you go toe-to-toe with heavily-armed opponents.
• Tank Destroyers: Obliterate enemy vehicles and other targets.
• Main Battle Tanks: Roll up in one of history’s most iconic assault vehicles for fierce, hard-hitting tank combat.

Some vehicles are unmanned, while others can even carry several squadmates. Be sure to assign roles such as driver and gunner for maximum efficiency and preparedness.

Also, be wary of the strengths and weaknesses of your chosen transport. Vehicles’ sides and rears are more susceptible to damage, while the front of a vehicle is typically more heavily armored. Keep match-ups in mind too: while an IFV may be able to take out enemies on foot, a tank boasting thicker armor and heavier firepower will make short work of it.

You should also keep an eye out for other threats like AT mines, and enemy soldiers wielding rocket launchers or air strikes. Many of these threats can be countered but may leave you open to threats of other kinds. Adapt your strategy accordingly!



You can find vehicles in many places across certain maps. Keep an eye out, because it could just shift the tide of battle! You can also airdrop vehicles into battle as part of your Strikes loadout, so be sure to prepare well before every match.

If one team reaches 2,000 Points in a match, both teams will receive a Main Battle Tank as a reinforcement! This will only drop if a team doesn’t already have two vehicles on the map. As soon as a slot frees up, say hello to your new ride!



Just like with your weapons and gear, vehicles can be customized using Blueprints. You can unlock new Blueprints using different free and premium methods to make vehicles truly yours, and make your mark on the battlefield.

Even without additional skins or modifications, every vehicle is brought to life using reference material such as accurate blueprints and through careful research of the original models and prototypes. We hope you enjoy the commitment to detail and realism.

Firefights are the beating heart of World War 3. Join us as we take a closer look at gunplay in World War 3 in our latest Feature Spotlight!



From the thrill of outmaneuvering enemies at close range to the relief of landing that critical shot, we want every key moment, every attack countered, and every shifting tide of battle to feel immersive and rewarding.

To that end, gun gameplay in World War 3 (gunplay for short) strikes a balance between fun and what we like to call playable realism. For example, you’ll have to adapt to different levels of recoil depending on whether you’re firing from the hip or aiming down your gun’s sights. Scoped weapons equipped with realistic magnification and red sightlines may also require you to hold your breath for a better shot.

After a short time getting to grips with these weapons, we hope that the realistic elements will become second nature to you.


A balanced, carefully considered loadout is key to effective combat in World War 3. Raid your arsenal and load up with different types of weapons, including:

• Assault Rifles
• Shotguns
• Sniper Rifles
• Light Machine Guns (LMGs)
• Submachine Guns (SMGs)
• Designated Marksman Rifles (DMRs)
• Specials (e.g. Rocket Launchers)
• Secondaries (e.g. Pistols)

There are various types of attachments that can alter the performance of your weapon to suit different playstyles and battle scenarios. Switch between primary and secondary sights to tweak your battle approach, and practically guarantee your kills with the use of holographic sights.

Looking beyond sights, you can try out different weapon grips, muzzles, silencers, and even bipods for steadier shots. Need a better read on a target? Switch lasers and flashlights on and off for better targeting and visibility.

If you’re wondering how to juggle all these weapons and attachments, don’t forget about your Backpack! Use it to bring additional gear in battle and adapt your tactics on the fly. Try out different loadouts to find the best tools to help win the fight!


If the enemy team is giving you grief, you may need to switch up your tactics by changing your firing mode:

• Single Fire: Allows you control and assurance while maintaining a low rate of fire.
• Burst Fire: Fires more powerful and controlled shots every time you pull the trigger.
• Automatic Fire: Switch things up to 11 with a continuous firing rate, which is great for providing covering fire and taking enemies down quickly and with extreme prejudice.

Outwit and outgun enemies by experimenting with different firing modes!


While your standard ammunition is good for most combat engagements, you can also gear up with special ammo. Bring secondary ammo like hollow-point bullets into battle, and save them up for when you need an especially lethal shot.



You can’t rely on specializing in a single weapon to attain victory every time. Switch up your weapons and try to master different types, especially in different situations such as close-combat and long-range sniper battles. Adapt to survive and win in World War 3!

Open Beta marks the beginning of World War 3 YEAR 1, during which you can expect us to deliver four massive content updates called Operations. Take a look at the new YEAR 1 Content Roadmap to see what’s coming up in World War 3!



Operations are limited-time events accompanied by large content updates (think Seasons in other games). Operations are themed around new nations, and further expand the world of our game and escalate the conflict within it. We intend to launch additional game content with each Operation, ranging from weapons and strikes to turn the tide of war, to new modes, maps, gameplay features, and quality of life updates.

You’ll be able to complete challenges to unlock exclusive content from a Battle Pass themed around the current Operation, including Operator Blueprints, new weapons, strikes, customizations, and lots more. A free track of the Battle Pass will also be available, with additional items available to earn with the purchase of a premium Battle Pass.

The first Operation will launch in December 2022, with the next three following in 2023. We’ll have more intel for you as we approach the release of Operation 01, so stay frosty!
