From installation to jumping into your first match, this simple guide will help you to get WEB3WAR up and running in no time.

What is WEB3WAR?

WEB3WAR is a high-performance multiplayer shooter that offers an exciting gameplay experience with unique Web3 elements, with cosmetic skins and other inventory items secured by the Zilliqa blockchain.

WEB3WAR rewards players who excel in fast-paced first-person shooter action and can adapt to a large range of maps and game modes. In future, your in-game achievements will earn you in-game currency, FPS tokens, which can be used to purchase cosmetic skins for weapons, characters, and more.

Players have complete control over the digital assets they have purchased, earned, or traded. These in-game items such as cosmetic skins can be purchased, traded, or earned through gameplay.

WEB3WAR is designed for fans of the FPS genre, offering a range of game modes, extensive weapon customisation, gear progression, high-quality maps, and balanced game mechanics.
