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

  1. Choose a spawn point, a class and a weapon.
  2. Move with your squad and capture sectors linked to your ground.
  3. Spend command points on support such as drones, mortars and strikes.
  4. Redeploy when you fall — the clock keeps running.
  5. 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.
