Dawnline guide
Capture and hold sectors so your side controls as much ground as possible when the ceasefire begins at 06:00.
STEP BY STEP
- Choose a spawn point, a class and a weapon.
- Move with your squad and capture sectors linked to your ground.
- Spend command points on support such as drones, mortars and strikes.
- Redeploy when you fall — the clock keeps running.
- At 06:00 the Treaty Map draws the border and awards stars.
CONTROLS
- Keyboard and mouse: WASD to move, mouse to aim and shoot, keys shown in the HUD for gadgets, grenades and squad orders.
- Touch: left side moves, right side looks, on-screen buttons for fire, aim, use, grenade and radio.
- Keys can be rebound in Settings.
DIFFICULTY
Demanding. Night visibility and enemy squads require care; the campaign introduces systems step by step.
STRATEGY
- Use illumination flares at night to reveal enemies.
- Only sectors linked to your ground can be attacked — plan routes.
- Save command points for the final minutes before 06:00.
AVOID THESE MISTAKES
- Firing constantly at night and revealing your position.
- Leaving sectors empty so they end up split at the ceasefire.
- Wandering out of bounds.
