This guide will get you through most of the details so that you can get the most out of the game.
Gameplay
Blitz Brigade is a FPS set in World War 2. Players can choose between two factions and can select among the five character classes, each with unique skills and abilities. Along the way, players can master, upgrade, and purchase new weaponry so that they can keep up with the ever increasing challenges. Vehicles can also be used to inflict more pain to enemies. The game requires players to be connected to the Internet at all times so you have to make sure that you have a strong connection.
Currency
Coins and gems are the currencies within Blitz Brigade. Like most games, coins are easier to get while gems, being the premium currency, are much harder to come by. Both coins and gems can be used to purchase items in the store, although certain items will require gems to purchase or unlock.
What’s good about the game is that players will be given VIP status when they make in-app purchases, such as when buying special bundles or in-game currency. Having VIP status means that players will earn more XP and coins from missions as usual.
Controls
Blitz Brigade utilizes to main controls. One controls movement while the other controls the view of the player. Control schemes can be changed in the settings, and gyroscopic controls can also be implemented, although it would be wise to have ample space between you and other people or objects when using the tilting mechanics to aim.
Other controls include sprinting, jumping, and activating vehicles for use. Players can also reload and switch weapons as well as use equipped items on the fly.
Character Classes
The game allows players to choose between one of five different character classes when participating in battles. Each character can be used for different situations, and players can select as to which character best suits their style. Gunners are slow but durable and can certainly inflict a lot of damage, while soldiers are fast and can deal moderate damage. Medics can be used to heal allies and snipers are great at picking off enemies from long range. Lastly, Stealth characters are used for sneaking up on enemies and killing them using melee weapons or silenced guns.
There are representations of each character class for both the Allies and Axis factions. Players can also customize their respective players’ attitude by changing things such as catchphrases and taunts. However, most of these require gems to unlock and purchase, so players will be better off using these resources for more important items if they don’t have a lot.
Initially, only the Gunner and Soldier for either faction will be available for play. Other classes will be unlocked as you reach a certain level, or can be unlocked early by using premium currency.
Leveling Up
Participating in missions will earn players experience points. Once enough has been earned, player will level up, allowing some items to be unlocked in the store. This is the only way to unlock additional weapons and other equipment aside from using premium currency.
Weapons
Each character class from each faction can use and purchase different types of weapons, with more being unlocked as they level up. Loadouts can be maintained so that players can equip weapons faster based to their liking. In addition, players can also purchase upgrades for their weapons, allowing them to function better such as dealing more damage, being able to carry more rounds, and reloading faster. Upgrades range from one to three stars as well as premium upgrades, with the later no longer requiring weapons to be repaired.
Speaking of repairs, using weapons will cause it to get damaged over time. Depending on the damage, weapons will be more likely to miss, reload slowly, or otherwise perform under optimal conditions. Thus, players must spend coins to repair them and keep them under tiptop condition.
Store
The Store is where players can purchase, upgrade, and repair weapons, as well as items, taunts, premium vehicles, and the like. Players must check up on the Store regularly and see what items are newly available and can be purchase, as equipping the right ones will surely increase the chances of victory during battles. Also, it would be wise to participate in lots of battles so that you can earn more coins and gems to spend in this area.
Missions
Blitz Brigade has two types of missions, mainly the Training Mode and Multiplayer Mode. The Training Mode allows players to play solo in different missions so that they would be better prepared when playing with other gamers. Further missions open up once the previous mission has been completed, and the next set of missions will be unlocked only after a certain number of stars, which are awarded for each mission based on your performance, has been achieved. There are also puzzle pieces that can be acquired for each mission which can be used to unlock additional content within the game.
The Multiplayer Mode is the main component of Blitz Brigade, and it allows players to compete with and against other players online. Currently, there are two maps and types of missions under Multiplayer Mode, which would either require players to capture flags or make the most kills under a specific amount of time. This is the best place to earn coins and experience, and players will be challenged due to the differing skills and equipment used by other players within each game.
Tips and Tricks
Don’t fret if you get killed easily the first few times. It probably means that other players have gotten a head start on you and have acquired more powerful weapons. Simply stick it out and you will certainly get to improve your equipment in no time as well. Also, if you die in game, you’ll respawn after fifteen seconds, so using instant respawns or items that will shorten this period is not recommended. Simply use this time to restrategize and change your loadout if needed be.
Also, look around your environment for things that can be shot at, as most of them can either explode, dealing damage to those nearby, or can give you bonus rewards. Gift boxes, helmets or birds on poles, or red barrels are the things that you should look out for the most. In addition, supplies carrying health or ammo refills will also be dropped from time to time, so seek them out if you see one on the horizon especially if you are low on health.
It would also be wise to have a rapport with your team, regardless of whether you know them or not. moving together as a group will increase the chances of you getting a kill, and voice chats can be used so that you can coordinate your moves. Using vehicles can also definitely be an advantage, although this limits your mobility somewhat, especially in areas where angles and roads are smaller and narrower.
Lastly, make sure that you equip the right weapons and items for the job. Items that can incapacitate or deal damage to enemies in an area work best in cramped areas, and you can surely benefit from items that will increase your ammo capacity or replenish your health over time. Those with limited ammo will be wise to pick their shots carefully and not just shoot at anything that moves. Also, don’t forget to repair weapons if they get damaged a lot, and to upgrade them whenever you can afford it.
