Overview


The free to play mode is completely separate from the main Outlaw Troopers game. It is intended to be a fun and free experience where you can fully experience the game before making any purchases. Some key differences:
1. Everyone is given a static set of assets: Troopers + Qwitts
2. There is no "crafting", you cannot create NFTs
3. Instead of the FGL token, there is a FreeB coin. This is not a crypto token and is wiped at the end of the season.
4. There are some leaderboard prizes, but they are much smaller than in the full version.

This page is a "quick start" guide to get you up and running quickly.

Status Bar


The Status Bar along the bottom of the screen is jam-packed with important information. Much of it is clickable! Let's go left to right:

1. FreeB Balance - FreeB is the "premium currency" of the free mode. You are given 20,000 to begin with, but after that you will need to manage it throughout the season. You can spend it on running Normal Encounters, rolling Empire Traits, battling in The Abyss and more. You can GAIN it on the Weekly Leaderboards, through the FBX, as well as from Challenges. In the free to play version these are wiped at the end of the season.

2. Credits - credits are a "virtual" resource, meaning they are wiped at the end of the season. There are many ways to gain + spend them, they are a critical resource to understand. Click the Credits title for more info.

3. Ocurium - this ore is also virtual, it is used mainly for upgrading your Gears. In the full game you can also use it to upgrade your Planets.

4. Artifacts - these virtual resources are mainly used for upgrading Companions, giving your Troopers more gear slots, and upgrading Biocrafts in The Abyss.

5. Lifeforces - this virtual resources has the critical importance of using it in the FBX. This is how you will regenerate your FreeB in the free version. Click that FBX link and substitute the FGL Token for FreeB. In the full version it is also used to create a Planet Deed NFT.

6. Radioactive Shards - this virtual resource is gained by taking a Utility Trooper and attacking a Radiation Node in Normal Encounters. You can then purify these shards for some big rewards. Click the shard icon to see the purify screen + rewards.

7. Diamonds - this virtual resource is gained from battling in the Arena and can be used for Instant Encounters. Good for when you want to gain Reputation from Normal Encounters but don't have the time to play them through.

8. Corruption - this is your current corruption level. Try to maintain a corruption <= 0 so all of your mission costs are free. If you are over the limit, assign some more troopers to Supervising Missions.

9. Mission Status - shows how many troopers you have assigned to missions. Click on it to access the mission summary page.

10. Qwitt Status - shows how many Qwitts you have assigned to missions. Click it to access the Qwitt mission management page.

11. Mail - you receive in game mail whenever a trooper finds an item on a mission. Click it to check your mailbox

12. Reputation - along the bottom of the bar is representation of your Empire's reputation. The higher you get this the more prizes you will win on the main leaderboard!


Empire Traits

The first thing you want to do is get yourself some nice Empire Traits. Click on Empire Management - Trait. Click the "Lucky Roll" button to guarantee yourself one good legendary. Don't worry too much about exactly what to get yet, but some really good ones are:
- Bonus Credits / s
- Negative Corruption
- Increases to your ships armor and shields

Try to get a set of mostly positive bonuses, but don't spend too much of your FreeB : )

Companions

Next head on over to the Empire Management -> Companion tab. Companions are helpers that will help you get keys, credits, all the virtual resources you want. They are intended to help new players get the virtual resources they need as they build their empire.

Grab all the cheap ones for starters: Smuggling Joe, Pandamonium, Dazzix, and Sparkie. The others are great too, but you will need to earn more credits before getting them.

Missions


Missions are an "idle" mechanic where you assign your Troopers + Qwitts to get resources for you. They run until you tell them to stop.

1. Qwitts - the first mission you want to do is assign ALL your Qwitts to hacking. Click the Robot (200) button on the bottom bar to open Qwitt Management. Type 200 under the "robot hacking" section, and click "Save Robot Assignment". Your qwitts will start retrieving robotic keys for you which you will use to upgrade, battle + hunt in The Abyss.
