Getting Started

This is a good starting point for a player who is new to the game.

Tutorial
The tutorial will show you the basics of navigating the app and playing the game.

App Navigation
For information on whichever screen you are looking at, click the question mark in the top left of the main screen.

The main screen shows a map with a target in the middle. The zone closest to the center of your screen will show information about it in the bottom left of the screen. It will give you the name of the zone and the number of bots for each faction. If you click the expand arrow, the box will also give you the usernames of the capturer and the leader of the zone, the zone ID, and the distance you are from that zone. You can zoom in and out of the map using the (+) and (-) buttons, you can center the map on your current locations by pressing the arrow, you can switch to Base view by clicking on the medal, and you can change the zone symbol using the eye button.

Along the top of the screen, you will see your username, your level, your Qredits, and your Cubes. Below that, you will see your bot tank and energy tank. These are what you use to launch different formations. Just below your tanks, you will see one or multiple boxes that show your active missions. Missions can be used to earn Qredits or Cubes, which can be used to purchase Ordnance, Nanobot Refresh Packs, and Energy Recharge.

Clicking the three horizontal lines on the top left will open a menu. Here, you can see your profile picture, rank, experience, and gold status. From here, you can go to your profile to view your medals, rank points, and recruiting information. You can also go to your missions, bank to purchase and exchange currency, a player search, update your settings, access the online portal, and see some advice for getting started.

On the right side of your screen, you can click the envelope to see the com center where you can chat with other players through the wire, as well as participate in various group chats. The wire is also where you will get notifications for tunnels and zone captures. You can click the dial to see your scope overview, which will show your bot kills for the current and past week, your launches for the current day, your kills in the last Atlantis, and your overheat status. This is also where you make your upgrades and can purchase ordnance. The third tab on the top right is a medal, where you can sort nearby zones, search for different zones, see recent zones, see pinned zones, and access Atlantis.

On the bottom right, you can click the target to view the tactical screen, which will show you detailed information on the current zone. Below that, you can click the star to view the local leaderboards for the current zone, region, and country.

To launch at a zone, click any zone on the map. This will bring up all of the launch formations. You can see more information about each formation by clicking on it and viewing the bottom of the screen. View even more information by clicking the expand arrow. Formations will show as orange if you have enough bots and energy to use them, if you are in range to use them, and if you are in possession of the relevant ordnance if applicable. Otherwise, they will appear blue.

Beginner Launching
There are two main strategies for launching in QONQR, offensive and defensive. You want to attack zones that are not controlled by your faction, and defend zones that are controlled by your faction. The goal is to QONQR your neighborhood, country, and the world! To attack at the beginning, you will want to launch free formations, either zone assault, shockwave, or seekers. To defend in the beginning, you will want to launch the free defensive formations, deflection and seekers (mainly deflection). More detailed launching strategies can be found at Offensive Strategy and Defensive Strategy.

Bases
At the beginning of your gameplay, you should place all of the bases that you can. You will unlock more bases by launching and leveling up. Once you have places some bases, you can earn Qredits by harvesting these bases, which is done by pressing the button with a percent next to it on the base view screen.

Upgrades
Once you have placed bases and have some Qredits, you can start upgrading your scope. You will want to focus on increasing your tank sizes and increasing your power and defense. Avoid upgrading formations that require ordnance until you have maxed out other upgrades.

Atlantis
New players should always play Atlantis! This is a monthly event where the three factions compete over a few days for control of 19 zones. New players (AKA grunts, players with levels < 100) can sometimes launch into zones that other players can't. This gives factions with new players a big advantage. The rewards for playing Atlantis are huge, and players of the winning faction can win over 100,000 Qredits. This is a great way for new players to upgrade their scope quickly.
