===---===---===---===---===---===---[2] Unreal Tournament Unofficial FAQ===---===---===---===---===---===---

[2.1] Game Modes===---===---===---There are three game modes in Unreal Tournament:Singleplayer Tournament, Practice and Multiplayer.Singleplayer takes you through Deathmatch,Domination, Capture the Flag and Assault, workingyour way up to Unreal Tournament Grand Masterby defeating the current champion Xan.

Practice mode is basically the same as multiplayer,except you fight "bots" instead of human opponents.You control everything in a practice match.

Multiplayer is the bread and butter of UnrealTournament. Here is where you see if you'vegot what it takes. You'll fight human opponents.

[2.2] Game Types

===---===---===---There are six game types in Unreal Tournament:Deathmatch: The classic style deathmatch, it's every man for himself, a shoot everything that moves game.

Team Deathmatch: Same as deathmatch above, except there are two to four teams made up of a number of players, trying to outkill the other teams.

Last Man Standing: A variation on deathmatch,

every one starts with a certain amount of lives, and once they are gone, you are out until the next match.

Domination: Two to four teams are split up on a map that holds "control points". To secure a control point, a member from one team must run over it. You get 1 point every four seconds you own a control point.

Capture the Flag: The good 'ol game. Two teams

fight against each other, trying to bring the others flag back to theirs to score their team a point.

Assault: An interesting game, people are split into two teams, the Attackers and Defenders. The Attackers must complete certain objectives while the Defenders have to stop them. Then the roles


7/28

get reverses, and the Attackers become defenders.

[2.3] Control Setup===---===---===---===When setting up your controls, make sure you have whatyou need in a general area, so you don't have to searchfor it. My controls are:

There are also game specific tabs which will display only servers

running that game.

[2.8] Moving Around===---===---===---===When playing, keep moving. Don't stop for anything. A stilltarget is an easy, not to mention stupid, target. Moving aroundwill give the enemy a much harder chance of hitting you.

If an enemy is chasing you, never run away with your back towardhim. Fight him, even if it means your life. You'll hurt him if you


11/28

attack, but if you run directly away from him, he'll get you and he'llhave perfect health. If you must run from him, turn around and runbackwards, so you can take shots at him while your running.

[2.9] Jump Jump Jump===---===---===Jump all the time. If your moving and jumping from side to side, yourenemies will have a tough time targeting you. Jumping forward andbackward is much better then standing and jumping straight up. Butwhat are you doing standing still, anyway?

[2.10] Strafing is your Friend===---===---===---===---===---===Learn to strafe, and you'll soon be a great player. Strafing aroundcorners is a lot better then turning around, because if there is dangerright behind a corner, you will be able to easily target the dangerinstead of having to turn and line yourself up, which can give the enemythe time he needs to kill you.

[2.11] Circle Strafing is a Closer Friend===---===---===---===---===---===---===---This can be a hard technique to learn, but it will pay dividendsin the end. What circle strafing is, you are strafing around in acircle, with your crosshairs on the target at the whole time. So basically

your traveling in a complete circle, but your not losing track of the target.

[3] Weaponry===---===---

[3.1] Impact Hammer===---===---===---===PRIMARY ATTACK: Charged long enough, this will kill with one shot.SECONDARY ATTACK: This is less powerful, but it has the advantage of splash damage.

[3.2] Chainsaw===---===---===

PRIMARY ATTACK: Somewhat damaging attack.SECONDARY ATTACK: A move that will attack in a decapitating motion. Connecting with a headshot will immediately kill your opponent.

[3.3] Enforcer(s)===---===---===---PRIMARY ATTACK: Fires bullets and is pretty accurate.SECONDARY ATTACK: Fires bullets more faster, but isn't as accurate.

[3.4] Pulse Gun===---===---===PRIMARY ATTACK: Shoots out energy pulses rapidly.

SECONDARY ATTACK: Fires a constant stream of energy.

[3.5] ASMD Shock Rifle===---===---===---===---PRIMARY ATTACK: Bolt of energy that fires instaneously.SECONDARY ATTACK: Fires a slower, bigger bolt that has splash damage.SPECIAL ATTACK: Fire the SECONDARY attack, then fire the PRIMARY attack. The second time you fire, make sure you hit the bolt. This causes more damage.


12/28

[3.6] Rocket Launcher===---===---===---===PRIMARY ATTACK: Fires rockets, up to six (while holding the FIRE button).SECONDARY ATTACK: Fires grenades that bounce, up to six. (while holding the FIRE button).THIRD ATTACK: Queue rockets with the PRIMARY fire, and just before you launch them, hold down the SECONDARY fire, and the rockets will come out in a tight group, rather than a spread.*FOURTH ATTACK: Keep the Rocket Launcher crosshairs on an enemy for long enough, and they will turn red. Now fire, and the rockets will track the enemey.

* Thanks to MJ_MASTER for the Third Attack.

[3.7] Flak Cannon===---===---===---PRIMARY ATTACK: Scatter shot of shrapnel.SECONDARY ATTACK: Explosive ball that will kill with one shot if the target is not wearing armor.

[3.8] GES BioRifle===---===---===---PRIMARY ATTACK: Fires globs of radioactive waste.SECONDARY ATTACK: Hold down the fire button to release a huge globs

of radioactive waste.

[3.9] Ripper===---===---PRIMARY ATTACK: Disks that bounce around before finally exploding.SECONDARY ATTACK: An explosive disk that explodes on contact of anything.

[3.10] Sniper Rifle===---===---===---===PRIMARY ATTACK: Fires an instantaneous bullet.SECONDARY ATTACK: Adjusts the zoom view.

[3.11] Minigun

===---===---===PRIMARY ATTACK: Rapid fire spray of bullets.SECONDARY ATTACK: Even faster firing rate, with less accuracy.

[3.12] Redeemer===---===---===PRIMARY ATTACK: Fire a nuclear warhead.SECONDARY ATTACK: Fire and guide a nuclear warhead.

===---===---[4] Items===---===---

[4.1] Translocator===---===---===---This item will drop a beacon that you can leave for any amount of time.When you use the secondary fire, you will teleport to that location. Ifan enemy destroys it and you teleport to it, you will be killed, givingthe enemy who destroyed it a point.

[4.2] Body Armor===---===---===---Your armor decreases when you take hits from other players, the environment or


13/28

yourself. Your armor starts at 0. The maximum armor you can have is 150. TheThigh Pads (below) add 50 to your armor, the body armor adds 100 to yourarmor count, and the Shieldbelt adds 150 to your armor count.

[4.3] Thigh Pads===---===---===These will give you added protection against enemy attacks for the timeit lasts, but not as much protection as the Body Armor.

[4.4] Shield Belt===---===---===---This is the most powerful item in the game. It will provide you withprotection from all attacks and environmental hazards.

[4.5] Health Vile===---===---===---This will add +5 to your health, taking you over the regular 100.

[4.6] Health Pack===---===---===---You start the game with 100 health. The maximum allowable health limit is 199.If your health is at 0, your dead =(. The Health Vile (see above), will add+5 to your health, which will take you over 100 health if needbe. The HealthPacks add 20 to your health, up to your regular 100. The Big Keg 'O Health

will instantly add 100 health, past the normal 100.

[4.7] Big Keg 'O Health===---===---===---===---This will take your health up 100, even past the regular. So if yourat 100 health, this will boost it to 199.

[4.8] Scuba Gear===---===---===---This is automatically activated when you go underwater. It will provide60 more seconds breathing time while your under.

[4.9] Damage Amplifier

===---===---===---===---This item will kill with one shot with most weapons (except the Enforcer andother low powered weapons). This lasts for 25 seconds.

[4.10] Invisibility===---===---===---===This powerful powerup will make you virtually invisible, and the only peoplethat can see you will be the ones right next to you, and even that'shard. It lasts for 45 seconds.

[4.11] Antigrav Boots===---===---===---===These will allow you to jump much higher then usual and reduce the amount

of damage you take on falls. It can only be used for three jumps, and itcan't be turned on or off, so don't jump after getting them unless you needto jump high.

===---===[5] Bots===---===The bots in Unreal Tournament are undoubtedly the most intelligent botsin any game. They will give you as much a challenge as a human opponentwould.


14/28

[5.1] What are "bots"?===---===---===---===---"Bots" are robots in a game that have AI, or Artificial Intelligence. Theyare programmed to mimic the human brain and to fight as a human would.They pick up weapons, fire at you, retreat, capture flags, capture controlpoints, attack, defend, cover, etc.

[5.2] Configuring Bots===---===---===---===---You can configure the bots to your liking, using a wide range of options.The options are:

Class: Same as what you did for the Player Setup.Skin: Same as what you did for the Player Setup.Face: Same as what you did for the Player Setup.Name: Choose a name for this bot.

You can also define the bots' behaviors:

Favorite Weapon: Bot will use this weapon and search for it whenever he can.

Accuracy: Can the bot hit a moving target at 1000FT away, dead center

in the head during heavy winds, or can he not hit the broad side of a barn?

Alertness: Is the bot paranoid and very alert, or would he not know if hold a gun to the back of his head?

Camping: Will the bot hide by a weapon or spot and take shots as people pass by, or will he throw himself into the middle of a firefight?

Combat Style: Is the bot an "in your face" fighter, a sniper, a coward, or a "run in, shoot, run away, run in, shoot, run away" fighter?

Jumping: Is the bot on steroids and jumps around the whole arena or is he

scared of heights and remains on the ground?

[5.3] Tips for Beating Bots===---===---===---===---===- Bots don't always look behind them when they're running. Use this opportunity to gun them down.

- Usually, bots only stand still when they're waiting for an elevator. This is a good moment to kill them.

- Most bots run a pattern for each level. Figure out this pattern and you'll be able to kill them before you know it.

- In team games, the bots will sometimes give you useful information. Listen to them.

- Bots will sometimes camp out by a powerup, such as a shield belt. They won't expect you, so sneak up behind them.

- Don't try to fight a bot one on one, in the face. At higher skill levels, they will destroy you.

- Some arenas have traps. Try to catch the bots in them, as they almost


15/28

always run into traps.

- When you run around corners or obstacles, the bots sometime lose track of you.

- Don't play God. Unless you're the ultimate player, you won't stand a chance at defeating them on the Godlike difficulty. Turn it down and don't play hero.

[5.4] Order Your Bots===---===---===---===You can give bots orders, and they'll do what you tell them too. In aCapture the Flag game, lead one or more bots to your flag and order it"hold this position". Send some other bots to capture the flag and therest to whatever they want.

===---===---===---===---===[6] Unreal Tournament World===---===---===---===---===

[6.1] Environments===---===---===---

[6.1.1] Lava

===---===---Lava is dangerous to you, and your enemies, so use this to your advantage.If you see an enemy running by a lava pool, use the Rocket Launcher orShock Rifle to knock him in. This counts as suicide and the enemy willloose 1 point. If you happen to fall in, you'll be able to survive for3 or so seconds before you melt.

Example map: LavaGiant (CTF-LavaGiant)

[6.1.2] Toxic Waste===---===---===---===Exactly the same as Lava, but green instead of orangey red. Knock enemiesinto here and laugh to yourself heartily.

Example maop: Gearbolt (DOM-Gearbolt).

[6.1.3] Water===---===---===Water, unlike Lava and Toxic Waste, is safe to go in. You'll sometimesfind powerups and weapons hidden underwater, so don't be afraid to gosearching. Just remember to come up for air.

Example map: November (CTF-November). A lot of maps have water.

[6.1.4] Heights===---===---===

Heights is another danger all combatants must face. You'd be wise to tryand knock opponents off of huge heights with the Rocket Launcher or Shock Rifle,as this will count as suicide and subtract 1 point from them.

Example map: Almost every map has a dangerous level height.

[6.1.5] Teleporters===---===---===---===Teleporters are spread throughout certain levels and usually transportyou to predetermined areas of the arena. After teleporting, be sure not


16/28

to stand on the teleporter, as someone can come through and telefrag you.

Example map: Hyperblast (DM-Hyperblast).

[6.1.6] Doors, Levers and Buttons===---===---===---===---===---===Unlike other first person shooters where you press a key to activatea door, button or lever, in Unreal Tournament, you just walk up to itto activate it.

Example map: Almost every map has doors, levers and/or buttons.

[6.1.7] Lifts===---===---===Lifts can be a dangerous tool, as standing waiting for them can leaveyou open to attack. They transport you between different levels.Standing under lifts will cause damage, but not too much.

Example map: Quite a few maps have a lift of some sort.

[6.1.8] Air Currents===---===---===---===Only available on certain arenas, they let you float up or down. Becareful, though, as too far a fall can kill you.

Example map: Floating Pyramid (DM-Pyramid).

[6.1.9] Traps===---===---===Some arenas contain traps, such as "The Pressure Chamber". Be sure to watchthese areas, and catch opponents off-guard.

Example map: The Pressure Chamber (DM-Pressure).

[6.1.10] Turrets===---===---===---Some Assault arenas have guns and turrets that belong to the defending

team, which attack the attackers as they near objectives.

Example map: Mazon Fortress (AS-Mazon).

[6.1.11] Low Gravity Areas===---===---===---===---===Some arenas have areas that are low gravity. You'll be able to jump toextreme heights, but you won't have near as much control while in the air.It's also easy to float into outer space and die, so be careful.

Example map: Morpheous (DM-Morpheous).

[6.2] Communication

===---===---===---===Communicating with your teammates is a sure-fire way to win, especiallyduring Capture the Flag and Domination matches.

[6.2.1] General Communication Tips===---===---===---===---===---===---- Listen to your teammates, because they usually have something of importance to say.

- If you want to say something only your team should know, be sure to hit


17/28

the team chat key, R by default.

- If you're about to do something, such as go for the flag, tell your team so they can stay on defense.

- If you see something happen that everyone should know about, tell your team.

- If you need health or ammo, let your team know so they don't hog all the equipment.

[6.2.2] Communication Rules===---===---===---===---===- If someone gets a good shot on you, don't insult them. Congratulate them on pulling off such a great shot.

- You may join a server and see that all the names resemble each other. This could be a clan game. If someone asks you to leave, don't bitch; leave and find another server.

- Some people who are new to the game, called "newbies", may ask questions. Take the time and answer them. Just think... you're giving help to a future fragger.

- DON'T SPAM! This is the most annoying thing you can do.

- Don't complain about campers. Just because they camp doesn't mean they suck. If you are getting tired of campers, just leave and find another server.

- Don't complain about other players. Just because they have a faster connection to you, doesn't mean they deserve being bitched at.

- If someone is lagged out, you can tell. They will be standing still, and won't react if you move around them or fire. It's not fair to these people if you frag them in their state, so leave them and come back to fight later.

- If you join a game and notice that the teams are completely unbalanced, join the team with the lowest players. Hey, after reading this, you should be good enough to go against all those others and win, right?

===---===---===[7] Deathmatch===---===---===Deathmatch is the most common type of game, and in Unreal Tournament, thereare three versions of it; Classic, Teamplay and Last Man Standing.

[7.1] Rules===---===---

OBJECTIVE: Kill everything. Pretty straightforward, eh?SCORING: One point per kill. One point is deducted for killing yourself or by dying by the environment (lava, toxic waste, drowning, etc.).ENDING: When a player reaches the Frag Limit set by the server, or when the Time Limit is reached, the arena changes.

[7.2] Teamplay Deathmatch===---===---===---===---===Same as Classic Deathmatch, but two to four teams must kill the membersof the opposing teams, without killing their own.


18/28

[7.2.1] Rules===---===---===OBJECTIVE: Have a higher score than the other teams by killing them off.SCORING: One point per kill. One point is deducted for killing yourself or by dying by the environment (lava, toxic waste, drowning, etc.).ENDING: When a team reaches the Frag Limit, that team wins. The team with the highest score when the Time Limit reaches wins.

[7.3] Last Man Standing===---===---===---===---In LMS, each person has a limited amount of lives, and they lose oneevery time they die. After you've used all your lives, you must waituntil the next arena to play again.

[7.3.1] Rules===---===---===OBJECTIVE: Kill as many players as possible while dying as little as possible.

SCORING: You lost a point after each death. Killing others deducts one point from their score.

ENDING: Be the last one with any points left to win.

[7.4] Basic Strategies===---===---===---===---

- Know the level- Use the mouse to look and aim- Develop a pattern that will take you through weapons, health and powerups- Learn from better players by watching them in spectator mode- Grab everything you can, even if you don't need it, so your enemies can't have it- Control powerups, especially the Big Keg 'O Health and the Shieldbelt.- Set your weapon priority- Use the right weapon for the right occasion

- If you have lag, work through it. It will make you a better player if you can snipe a moving target with 1000+ ping- Look behind you at times to see if anyone is following you- Keep away from walls, as the splash damage from explosive weapons can kill you- Try to avoid water, or at least go in when no one is around. You move slower and are easier to hit- Never stop moving. A still target is an easy target.- Strafe as much as you can- Listen closely to sounds. Footsteps and gunshots can tell you where something is happening- Attack from above, if possible. Players usually have a much harder time hitting targets above them

[7.5] Advanced Strategies===---===---===---===---===

- Most powerups respawn from 60-90 seconds, so count down and make your way to them when they're about to respawn- When using an explosive weapon, aim for the feet so the splash damage will harm them no matter what- Aim for the head with certain weapons, as head shots are more rewarding than body shots


19/28

- Aim where you think the player will be in a second, as this will guarantee a it. This is especially important in heavy lag conditions- Knock your opponents around using the Rocket Launcher or the Shock Rifle. This will keep your opponents confused- Use the Translocator to get yourself out of trouble fast- Strafe around corners, so you can immediately see people and will be able to attack them faster- Learn to circle strafe, as it will pay dividends in the end

===---===---===[8] Domination===---===---===Domination is a game in which teams must fight to control "control points"throughout the arena.

[8.1] Rules===---===---OBJECTIVE: To score the most points by holding "control points".SCORING: Run through the Control Points to capture them for your team. For every four seconds you hold one, you gain one point. Most arenas have three control points; holding all three for five seconds will score your team three points.ENDING: Once the score limit is reached. If the Time Limit is reached, the team with the highest score wins.


- Guard the Control Points- If an enemy is heading toward a control point, shoot at the floor of the control point to knock the enemy away- If someone is guarding a control point, save some supplies for him/her- Communicate, communicate, communicate!- Attack in groups. Some of you may die, but you stand a better chance of grabbing the Control Point

[8.3] Advanced Strategies

===---===---===---===---===

- Set the Translocator beacon on a Control Point, and as the enemy comes to grab it, teleport and telefrag him- Set the bots (in single or practice mode) to "freelance" so they will try to gain control- Spread out, so not all of you will die by an explosive- Use powerups wisely

===---===---===---===[9] Capture the Flag===---===---===---===Players split up into teams and attempt to get the others flag and return

it to their flag to score a point.

[9.1] Rules===---===---OBJECTIVE: To capture the other teams flag more times then they can.SCORING: One point per capture. The team who reaches the Frag Limit wins. When the Time Limit is reached, the team with the highest score wins.ENDING: The team with the most captures wins the match.


20/28


- Know the map. Knowing where the flag is gives you a distinct advantage- Defense is key to winning- Communicate, communicate, communicate!- Attack in groups. Some of you will die, but there's a better chance of getting the flag- Provide cover fire if you see your flag carrier being attacked- Don't block the way of the flag carrier; give him a clear path- Avoid water at all costs when carrying the flag, unless you are 105% sure no defenders are near you- Follow your flag carrier. If you see him/her, follow him and protect him from people who attack- If you have the enemies flag, and yours is gone, hide.- Cover all the entrances to your flag


- Use a "minefield" defense. Keep littering the floor by the flag with toxic waste from the GES BioRifle if it's available. Be careful; if Friendly Fire is enabled, this can be bad for your team- If you see the flag carrier being attacked by more than one person, jump

in front of him and die for him- Let players with a low ping be on defense so there's a better chance of your flag staying where it is- If you die near the flag, stay dead. You can tell your teammates about what is happening- When running with the flag, turn around and lay down some toxic waster from the BioRifle to discourage people following you

===---===---===[10] Assault===---===---===Assault is a game where a team of attackers must complete certain objectives,and the Defending team must prevent them from doing that.

[10.1] Rules===---===---OBJECTIVE: Attackers must complete the objectives (review them by F3) and the Defenders must prevent them. After the Attackers complete or fail their objectives, the roles switch.SCORING: There is no scoring in Assault. Just complete the objectives.ENDING: Once the Attackers complete the objectives, the game restarts, with the Attackers on defense. The new Attackers must complete the objectives in the time it took the old attackers too.


- Attack in groups. You stand a much better chance of accomplishing the objectives with a group of people- Stock up on ammo- Don't hog ammo, as everyone will need the firepower- If your near the objective, focus on that, and forget about the defenders- If someone picked up a Big Keg 'O Health, send them first. They'll have a much better chance.


21/28


- Spread out- Control the powerups- Use the Sniper Rifle if you're on defense, because most attackers will come from the same way, and you can easily pick them off

===---===---===---[11] Special Moves===---===---===---

[11.1] Hammer Jump===---===---===---Charge the PRIMARY attack of the Impact Hammer, then aim at the ground.Jump, and at the top of the jump, release the fire button. You will losea bit of health, but you'll jump much farther.
