Combat

Know your enemy

The Resistance's main enemy is the Combine. Combine soldiers (Overwatch) can be easily identified by their armor and gas masks. Synth soldiers can also be easily distinguished from regular soldiers due to their alien-like look. On the field, all Resistance members must shoot Combine soldiers on sight (unless certain scenarios are in play). Rogue Units look like Combine soldiers but they are friendly Resistance members, so players must get accustomed to their unique look.

Watch out for Civilians

While on the field, Resistance members may come across civilians, who are usually unarmed and harmless. However, some civilians can carry firearms and may cause problems to the Resistance. These civilians are called Anarchists. Players cannot shoot Anarchists on sight unless they pull out a weapon. Regardless, Resistance members should warn all civilians on the field to leave the deployment area to avoid getting shot/killed by mistake. If they refuse to leave, they may have bad attentions, so use lethal force if they don't listen to you (check server rules for more information). Besides Anarchists, civilians may also be aligned with the CWU, a Combine-friendly faction. Once again, Resistance members may not shoot these civilians unless they are deliberately assisting the enemy (check server rules for more information).

Captured Enemies/Allies

Being Captured

Being captured by the NPU can happen and there are some things players need to know. Firstly, if they remove your comms through RP (using /me), players may not use chat anymore to communicate with their teammates. They may also remove your weapons through this process. If NPU aren't quick enough to strip your team chat request help through team chat. This will alert current spectre units online and they will be there to free you soon enough if everything goes right. They are the only rebel unit that can save you once you are inside the Combine base.

Example:

NPU OPERATOR 03 9999 strips you from your comms and weapons.

Players may be released by either getting killed by a teammate or by getting uncuffed after a player kills the NPU, however the first method is faster and much more reliable. During RP scenarios, which aren’t exclusive to getting captured, you may need to roll for an action. The command is /roll and it will give you a number between 1 and 100. Here’s an example of how the rolling system works:

Example:

You have been captured by the NPU and they bring you to the Combine base. They take you to a prison cell and ask for your name. You decide to lie, so you give them a fake name. To check if you’re lying, he decides to roll and gets a value of 38. You roll as well and you get 52. Since you got a higher roll than the NPU, he is forced to believe your lies.

The Combine may decide to turn their captives into Stalkers, becoming mindless servants. Once a player goes through this transformation, they are forced to follow the Combine’s orders. This may only last up to 10 minutes. Besides stalkerization, the Combine may just want to keep you in custody, which has a maximum imprisonment time of 10 minutes (starting as soon as the captured player is taken into their captor's base).
