Phone and tablet

Two floating sticks appear wherever you touch. The left stick moves you; push it up to fire the jetpack. The right stick aims, and pushing it to the edge fires. Buttons on the right throw grenades, pick up weapons and zoom the sniper scope.

The jetpack

Thrust burns fuel and landing refills it. Short hops keep you mobile without running dry; a long climb leaves you falling and exposed. Fight from above when you can, and land behind cover to refuel.

Five tips from the frontline

  1. Height wins: shooting down on an enemy exposes less of you.
  2. Swap to the pistol instead of reloading in the middle of a fight.
  3. Bounce grenades off walls and ceilings into covered positions.
  4. Burst-fire the rifle; its spread grows under sustained fire.
  5. Learn the maps: Cascade Works rewards vertical play, Dustline Dam rewards long sightlines.
