Player guide

Welcome to a player guide for Renegade X. This guide will teach you the basics of the game and give you some useful tips.

Overview

Renegade X (RenX for short) is a multiplayer first person shooter game set in the Command & Conquer (C&C) universe. Renegade X is a fan make remake of Command & Conquer: Renegade with improved graphics and game play. It's developed by Totem Arts, a group of volunteers from all over the world. Although Renegade X is set in the C&C universe EA has not endorsed and does not support Renegade X.

In Renegade X you jump into the C&C world, usually seen from above, as a soldier. You have the opportunity to walk into iconic buildings, and blow them up. You can wield a powerful personal ion cannon, and blow things up. You can drive a massive Mammoth Tank or sneaky Stealth Tank, and blow things up. You can, on some maps, even take to the skies in powerful attack helicopters and, well, you know. You can also be an engineer and repair things so they don't blow up. Oh, and you can rain down nukes or orbital ion cannon blasts on your foes.

Renegade X is a team game. On each map you will join the ranks of either GDI or Nod in a fight to wipe out the enemy base by blowing up their buildings. That's more easily said than done though and you will only succeed by working as a team. To take the fight to the enemy base your team will need tanks, which will need support. You'll need to capture valuable neutral buildings and stop them from being recaptured. You'll need to take the enemy by surprise and stop them from doing the same to you. You can be the best player in the world, but without a team you will still lose.

Basics

So you're just jumped into your first map and are looking around what to do. Welcome! This section of the guide will give you a basic idea of what's going on.

Initially you will spawn as a soldier, the most basic infantry class. A soldier is, well, good at not much really. Still, even the lowest soldier can take out an expensive Raveshaw with good shooting and evasion. You will be inside one of your team's buildings and conveniently in front of a purchase terminal.
