Enlisted — IGN key art for game guide

What kind of game is Enlisted?

Enlisted is a WW2 squad shooter built around Squad-based historical battles with AI soldiers and combined arms. Understanding that loop early saves hours of wandering.

New players often rush high-risk activities before learning map flow. Start with low-stakes routes, learn how fights start, and note where teams rotate when pressure spikes.

First-hour checklist

Adjust sensitivity and keybinds before you commit to ranked or high-loot zones. Turn on useful HUD elements, set a comfortable FOV, and test audio cues — footsteps and ability tells matter in Enlisted.

Pick one primary objective type (survival, objective capture, or extraction) and repeat it until outcomes feel predictable. Consistency beats switching strategies every match.

Common early mistakes

Overextending without an exit plan, ignoring team comms, and chasing highlight clips instead of steady progress are the top three beginner traps in Enlisted.

Review deaths with one question: Was the fight necessary? If not, route safer next time. Small discipline gains compound faster than raw aim upgrades.
