Weapon Handling
Bellum's weapon handling is designed to reward accuracy, control and positioning over fast-paced run-and-gun gameplay. Understanding your weapon's strengths, recoil and effective range will improve your effectiveness in combat.
Practice controlled fire, use cover where possible and choose your engagements carefully to maximise your chances of success.
Suppression
Suppression is a powerful battlefield mechanic that limits an enemy's ability to fight effectively. Accurate and sustained fire can force opponents into cover, allowing your squad to manoeuvre and gain the tactical advantage.
Working together to suppress enemy positions is often more effective than attempting to eliminate every target individually.
Crossloading
Crossloading allows squads to redistribute ammunition, equipment and supplies between teammates, helping everyone remain prepared during extended engagements. Effective resource management ensures your squad can continue fighting without unnecessary trips to resupply.
Communicate with your squad and share resources when needed to keep the team combat ready.
Revives & Casualty Recovery
Keeping your teammates alive is critical in Bellum. Recovering wounded players and returning them to the fight helps preserve your team's limited lives and maintains momentum during battle.
Work with your Medic, secure the area before attempting a rescue and avoid exposing yourself unnecessarily while recovering casualties.
Construction
Construction allows teams to establish defensive positions and strengthen their control over key objectives. Building effective fortifications can provide valuable protection and improve your team's ability to defend against enemy attacks.
Successful construction relies on planning, teamwork and placing structures where they'll have the greatest impact.
Logistics
Logistics keeps your team supplied and operational throughout the battle. Delivering resources, supporting construction efforts and maintaining supply lines are all essential to a successful campaign.
A well-supported team can reinforce positions, recover faster and maintain pressure on the enemy for longer.
Vehicles
Vehicles provide mobility, firepower and logistical support across the battlefield. Whether transporting troops or supporting frontline operations, vehicles are most effective when used in coordination with infantry.
Protect your vehicle, communicate with your team and use it to support objectives rather than operating alone.
Drones
Drones provide valuable reconnaissance by identifying enemy positions, monitoring objectives and gathering intelligence without placing soldiers at unnecessary risk. Timely information can give your team a significant tactical advantage.
Effective drone operators communicate their observations clearly, allowing squads to react quickly and make informed decisions.
Objectives & Victory Conditions
Victory in Bellum is achieved through teamwork, communication and completing mission objectives—not simply securing the highest number of eliminations. Every action should contribute towards your team's overall mission.
Work together, follow your leaders and focus on the objective to give your team the best chance of success.
