New player guide
Welcome to TeamSpec, a class-based team shooter. This page gets you into your first match.
1. Practise at the Academy
Host a game on Academy, the Training Range. It has no clock, so take your time: shoot the dummies, track the strafers, check falloff on the ruler and try every class.
2. Learn the keys
W A S D to move, Space to jump, Shift to crouch, Ctrl to slide, mouse buttons to fire, R to reload, 1 to 4 for your slots and L for your loadout. Full list: Controls.
3. Pick a class
Start with the Trooper, the all-rounder. When you know the maps, try the others on Classes, or build your own on Loadouts.
4. Find a match
Use Quickplay to be matched to a server, the Server browser to pick one yourself, or host your own. Bring friends with a party.
5. Play the objective
Kills matter less than the goal. Push or block the cart in Payload, defend your boss in Service, bank souls in Soul Banking.
Tips
- Your own spawn room refills you and lets you change class.
- Out of combat for 3 seconds, you start regenerating if your class has support points.
- Rockets aimed at the floor beside an enemy are easier to land than rockets aimed at them.
- Explosions hurt you too. See Damage.
