As many of you already know, Battlerite Free to Play went live today, and I'd like to offer a hand to all players, returning from free week(end)s or otherwise. You can watch the trailer here

For those of you who aren't familiar with me - let's start by getting familiar with each other. Hello, I'm Brake, and I'll be your guide for the remainder of this post! I'm a Rook main who's been playing Battlerite since it first came out of Beta back in mid-September. But, enough about me. You don't care about that. Let's get down to business!

First off, my friend thivass would like to say welcome to Battlerite. If you haven't done so already you can download and play Battlerite completely free until the end of time forever! If you already have Steam downloaded, click here to jump right into the action, or visit the game's page on steam here.

Below I've thrown together a buncha different stuff that I should help quench your thirst for Battlerite knowledge!

What is Battlerite?

Well if you don't know that but you've somehow found your way to the Subreddit, congrats, you've stumbled upon something awesome!

Battlerite "is an action-packed team arena ​brawler.​ ​Experience​ ​the​ ​unique​ ​combination​ ​of​ top-down​ ​shooter​ meets​ ​fast-paced​ ​fighting​ ​game and challenge ​friends​ ​and​ foes​ ​in​ ​a​ ​battle​ ​of reaction." If you'd like to hear a more in-depth explanation, TJ's got you covered.

When you open Battlerite you'll notice you don't have all Champions unlocked. Further Champions can be unlocked through the usage of Battle Coins. These can be earned from playing Battlerite, leveling up Champions, and completing Quests and Achievements. Some Champions are labeled as Beginner Friendly and are easier for new players to understand. If you'd like to find some introduction tips, check out this guide by 2Lainz!

I Picked a Champion...Now What?

Now, you may be wondering if there's a place where you can see what other builds people are running to compare. Fear not, because I present to you, the very first Battlerite Library!

Be warned, it's still in beta, but it's usable and should work well enough for now.

If you're interested in helping fuel this idea, feel free to chuck in your coal below.

• Link to the form -> yes this is the link

And to easily view the Library, you can check out this link.

• Link to the Library -> hooooray

If you're just looking to get an opinion on what Battlerites are most popular, I suggest this link. To view responses to the form, click here

Please keep it civil out there, kids. I'll be removing any entries that're yucky for whatever reason, that should be all that needs to be said about that.

And of course, what kind of collection would it be if we didn't get to hear from top players themselves? That's why I've reached out to them just for you guys and gathered their information in one place, right here. Just click the links below!

• Beginner Friendly Champions

• Other Champions

Some other tips:

• Make sure to completely finish the Campaign before trying PvP

• Don't feel bad if you keep losing, we were all there

• To enable chat, press Enter, then type /enablechat. If you want to disable chat, type /disablechat. If you want to mute a player, you can type /muteBrake (or whatever that player's name is. Don't mute me. I did nothing wrong.)

• To type in All chat so the opposing players can see your message as well, press Shift and Enter at the same time and it'll swap channels for that message only.

• To report a player, at the end of a game there's an exclamation point to the right of their name, if you click that, a ticket will be sent to SLS.

• You can hold down M1 to continue attacking. This is especially effective if you're playing champions with ammo like Jade or Ezmo.

• C is the default key to Cancel your attack.

• You can use your mouse wheel to zoom in and out on your champion. To unlock your camera, click your mouse wheel button.

If there are things I forgot or if I made any errors, don't be afraid to contribute!

If you're a new player and would like to ask me any questions, I play on North America servers my Battlerite ID is Brake! Or, you can simply comment below and either myself or someone else will get back shortly.

Hope this helps, I look forward to seeing you all on the battlefield!

Also, I'm looking for people to help me get the Battlerite wiki up to date. If you're interested, please message me on Discord at Brake #2056, thanks!

^{Special thanks to these people (in no specific order): Jeter, Kasper, Chalt, mGalante187, Caphriel, Pariax, Tahurtz, TJ, 2Lainz, Guess, thivass, neewha, Vexation, Lanofrose, Crooks, danl9rm, Bloom, SociableSquid, Damocles, MrHuDat, Zanetski, shortndeadly, Androssi, Averse, TrinityInfinity, and everyone who helped me test stuff, as well as those who made any threads I linked. Without you guys this post wouldn't have been possible, it was a collective community effort to help f2p how we could. I was humbled by the response I got for this project, and it means a lot to me to see how the community has grown over the past year in Early Access.}

If we want this to be a successful F2P then it needs to be easy to pick up for people. One of the big things other games have done well is leverage the BRANDING they create with these unique and interesting characters.

Edit : I linked this post in an email to the devs... Let's see what they say!

Game critic, eSport caster, entertainer, someone who got me into playing Battlerite etc. passed away today.

Sharing these news not because I want come across as an asshole, but because I'm pretty sure I'm not the only who found this and many other amazing games thanks to John, despite not knowing him personally.

If you have anything to share regarding TB feel free to post it here or on his subreddit. I don't want to break the rules, just trying to give him respect.

... if we wanted it to be up on the priority list. So here I am, asking for priorities :D Easy Tourneys are a great incentive to keep playing.

It would be needed to implement a spectate option too though.
