Beginner Guide

Everything you need to know to get started in Red VS Blue Tycoon. Master the fundamentals and build a strong foundation for your tycoon empire.

Getting Started

1. Choose Your Team

When you first enter the game, you'll be prompted to choose between the Red Team and Blue Team. Both teams have identical gameplay mechanics, so your choice is primarily based on:

  • Which team your friends are playing on
  • Your personal preference for team colors
  • Current team balance (you can see player counts before joining)

Note: You can switch teams later, but you'll lose your current progress when doing so.

2. Initial Setup

Upon spawning, you'll see a 'Starter Pack' offer that provides:

  • An Electric SMG (your first weapon)
  • In-game currency to get started

After dismissing or accepting the starter pack, collect your first earnings from the 'Money To Collect' machine. This will give you your initial funds to start building.

First Priority: Purchase the 'Start Tycoon' dropper to activate your base and begin generating resources automatically.

3. Build Your First Base

Start by building multiple basic droppers before upgrading them. This strategy provides better early income than maxing out a single dropper:

  • Purchase 3-5 Start Tycoon droppers first
  • Upgrade walls for basic protection
  • Place droppers in a central, protected location
  • Add basic defenses as you progress

4. Early Game Weapons

Start with basic weapons and gradually upgrade:

  • Glock/Electric SMG: Your starting weapons, good for early encounters
  • Deagle: First upgrade, powerful handgun for mid-game
  • UZI: High fire rate SMG, effective for close range
  • Sawed-Off Shotgun: Devastating close-range weapon

5. Essential Upgrades

Prioritize these upgrades in order:

  1. Multiple Start Tycoon droppers (3-5 minimum)
  2. Upgrade Walls (basic protection)
  3. Gun Stands (unlock weapon storage)
  4. Unlock Windows (visual intel)
  5. Unlock Laser Doors (enhanced security)

Beginner Tips

  • 💰Always collect money from the 'Money To Collect' machine regularly - it accumulates quickly!

  • 🛡️Don't neglect defense - upgrade walls early to protect your investments from hostile players.
  • ⚔️Start with basic weapons and upgrade gradually - don't rush for expensive weapons too early.
  • 👥Work with your team - coordinate with teammates to build stronger bases together.
  • 🔄Use the Calculator to plan your upgrades efficiently.

Common Beginner Mistakes

  • Maxing out one dropper: Building multiple droppers provides better early income.
  • Ignoring defense: You'll lose resources if your base isn't protected.
  • Spending all money on weapons: Balance economy and combat equipment.
  • Not collecting money: The 'Money To Collect' machine is your primary early income source.
