Before you worry about north routes or dungeon gear, make sure your client, resource pack, and support tools are set correctly.
Join Checklist
| Step | Action | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Join with MCWAR.CO | This is the primary public server address |
| 2 | Enable Server Resource Packs | Firearms, visuals, and world presentation depend on it |
| 3 | Keep the live map available | It shortens route planning and helps you judge travel distance |
| 4 | Join the Discord | Support, notices, and live answers happen there |
First Login Expectations
| System | What to expect |
|---|---|
| Spawn | A random drop point rather than a fixed safe lobby |
| Starting sidearm | Makarov |
| Initial mobility | Limited adrenaline speed for the first stretch |
| First goal | Reach the nearest structure and start building a basic kit |
Client Settings That Matter
- keep the resource pack enabled at all times
- make sure your keybinds for shooting, aiming, and reloading feel comfortable
- verify that audio and proximity chat work before committing to long sessions
- keep enough inventory space free to carry meds, food, and spare ammo early
Web Tools Worth Keeping Open
| Tool | Best use |
|---|---|
| Wiki | Look up progression, gear, threats, and controls |
| Live map | Plan town-to-town movement and northward pushes |
| Store | Check rank, battle pass, and crate options |
| Discord | Report issues, ask for help, and keep up with server changes |
First Session Priorities
- get out of the drop zone alive
- secure a primary firearm, armor, food, and meds
- learn one southern route before forcing a northern run
- only start chasing higher tiers after your kit is stable
