Free Infantry’s Capture the Flag (CTF) zones provide a unique style of game play, however, does introduce more complexity around classes, armour, weapons and stats compared to other zones. This complexity allows for an enriched gaming experience but can be overwhelming for new players. The below guide provides a basic introduction to the Free Infantry CTF classes which will enable players to set-up their character and enjoy the CTF game play experience sooner.

Distinguishing Feature:
Dark red body plating.

Description:
Infantry are the flagship class of the game. They are well rounded across all types of armor and weapons, and provide a good mixture of close and medium range combat. This class is especially good for new players to begin with.

---

Capturing the Flag (Offensive):
The Infantry Class should be positioned on the front line. The objective is to use close to medium range weapons to drain enemy suit energy to maximise kills and ultimately protect the Heavy Weapons Class while they destroy enemy base turrets.

Defending the Flag (Defensive):
The Infantry class should be positioned as the first line of defense. The objective is to prevent offensive forces pushing deeper into the base and to kill the enemy Heavy Weapons Class before they can destroy base turrets.

The armour available to the Infantry Class is:

• Carapace
  
• CMP4 Combat Armor
  
• CMP6 Assault Armor
  
• Kevlite Combat Armor

Each type of armor has specific strengths and weaknesses, which will change when paired with Armor support items. These items are:

• IDF Generator - Slows rotation and acceleration of bullets to reduce kinetic damage. Weak against explosive damage.
  
• PF Generator - Provides protection against explosive damage and shotgun. Weak against kinetic weapons such as the Assault Rifle.

In addition to armor support, there are Equipment - Fighting Suit options that further enhance armour:

• Suit SuperCharger - Increases the energy recovery rate. Energy is required to power all armor support items.

The main weapon types available to the Infantry Class are:

• Assault Rifles - Fast rate of fire, good for close to medium combat range
  
• Rifles - Slow rate of fire, good for long combat range, ineffective at close range
  
• Shotguns - Wide spread of fire, good for close range only, effective at reducing enemy energy

Support weapons that are available are:

• Rifle Grenades - Slow rate of fire, large explosive damage
  
• Grenades - Medium rate of fire, moderate explosive/chemical damage

For beginners, the recommended starting configuration is:

• Armor – Carapace

The macros required to purchase all of the items in the 'Starting Config & Loadout' are below. The first macro will remove any automatic items that are assigned to your class when you first select it, then purchase all of the armor, weapon and support items. This macro only needs to be used when you first select the Infantry class.


The second macro purchases all of the ammo and expendable items and will be the main recurring macro used throughout each re-spawn.

Distinguishing Feature:

Description:
Heavy weapons class is the large scale destruction machine of the battlefield. A one man killing machine capable of using heavy explosive and energy weapons. They don’t move fast, but who cares when you can shoot great gaping holes in everything?

Capturing the Flag (Offensive):
The Heavy Weapons Class should be positioned behind the forward line. The objective is to use medium to long range explosive weapons to neutralise and destroy enemy base turrets.
