Getting started

This article is a Stub. You can help us by editing and improving it.

Upon starting the game, you will be prompted to set a name, afterwards it will ask whether you want to play the tutorial map, it is recommended you do so. It will show you how to do basic movement with some visual aid.

From the main menu, click on Play and then select a server, it is recommended that new players join Novice servers, the default filter already has the word Novice on it, so you will only see those.

Note: It is common to refer to a player physical character as a tee, so this guide will do so starting from here.

Basic controls

• You can move left and right with A and D, you can jump with Space.
• You can aim moving your mouse around, note that your mouse inside the game is locked inside a circle around the tee.
• With right click you can use your hook, it allows you to hook onto hookable tiles or other tees.
• With left click, you use your current active weapon.
• With ⇧ Shift you can open the emote menu, most of the communication in DDNet can happen without even chatting, tees often use the Pistol to signal where to go and express how they feel about a map part using emotes, such as the tear drop emote for a faily part.
