Getting Started
Your objective is simple, to capture and defend all sectors on the map.
You begin the mission at the starting FOB, which is either randomly generated or manually designated by the mission maker. You will be shown the deploy menu where you can select to spawn at the FOB. You will then be shown the Dynamic Group menu for you to pick a role which is summarised later.
The Dynamic Groups system acts as an in-game lobby to allow you to change roles without having to backout to the main lobby. It is opened via the 'Group Menu' in the ACE Self Interact, available at any FOB. Each group and the roles within it are displayed, including any player who may be in that position already. Each role has its own rank, traits and in some cases additional items in its arsenal specific to its role.
An example setup can be seen below.
Frontlines has been fully integrated with ACE and uses ACE Actions throughout. There are a number of options available through self interact when near the FOB which are shown below, some of these are only visible in certain roles.
If in doubt on how something works, try an ACE Interact or Self Interact.
Frontlines uses the map to display various information. You can click on a sector marker to display relevant information specific to that sector as shown below.
Clicking on a FOB marker shows information pertaining to that FOB.
Using the 'Mission' button displays the missions current status, including which (if any) sectors are active.
