- Unless absolutely no one else will, avoid commanding until you are familiar with the game.
- Go to your waypoints.
- Do not ask for weapons, the commander will drop you them (must be dropped close to an armory)if it's needed.
- Build dropped buildings by holding use (default is 'e') on the structures until it's fully built (most the building will go through an animation when it's done, or you can check the build indicator. The build indicator is around the base of the building and indicates how much building is needed. Notice the outline turns blue when the building is finished).

- When you hear your teammates yelling you to "PHASE, PHASE!", press use (default is 'e') on the phase gate to be teleported to a point of contention. If you phase and find nothing there, use the phase again until you are with your teammates.
- Listen and communicate with your teammates.
- Press use on the armory to get more ammo. Do NOT fill up with ammo, get 1 to 3 clips then get moving.
- If you are given a jetpack or heavy armor (within distance of the prototype lab), keep in mind they are expensive. Find out what your commander wants done with them.
- Stick with your teammates, do not attack structures unless you are cleared to do so (attacking alien structures alerts the alien team).
- If you need health or ammo packs, right click to access your menu and request them from the commander. By using the right click menu, the commander can quickly find you on the map.
- Move in groups.

- Use your hivesight to find where the action is. You can find which teammates are being attacked, or where they are going.
- Most beginners will work on building up the resource economy by finding a resource nozzle (aka node) , evolving into a gorge ( use your right click menu to evolve), and dropping a resource tower (again accessible through your right click menu). You must then hold use (default is 'e') until it is built up. Watch the build indicator on the bottom of the structure to see it complete. All structures except for the hive are built like this.

- To build a hive, use your minimap to find a hive location (there are 3 possible locations, including your starting hive), and use the right click menu when within range to 'drop', or start the hive building. You do not hold use on the hive to build it, it builds itself.
- Before building a hive, ask your teammates which hive location they would like, (your current location name is available on your HUD).
- Your team will need upgrade chambers, keep in mind that structure will be locked to that hive. So it's imperative you ask and make sure WHICH upgrade chamber they'd like to go with first.
- When using the default skulk class make sure to ambush the marines. The skulk has a wall walk ability, so be sure to use ceilings, vents, walls to surprise the enemy. The skulk is very low in hitpoints, so be sure to weave, dodge, and use all the cover necessary when attacking.
- Communicate with your team what you know is going on, where the enemy is.
- If your team isn't doing anything or coordinating any attack, try to take down the marine resource towers .
- Use your minimap to see which areas, and which weakspots on the map need scouting and ask for it to be done or go do it.
