Welcome to your first mission, Mercenary.

If you have just joined CrossFire and you are below rank Sergeant 1 you want to pay attention.

We have some video guides for you at our How to play CrossFire page

You should be placed in a match with some bots in less than a minute.

Play one match to get a feeling of the controls.

As a gift for facing those pesky bots, you will get a permanent M4A1-S-Florence!

If you can't find the weapon in your inventory, change to the server selection by pressing custom match and back to public matches and your inventory will refresh.

Do you think you are ready for another one?
Play one more match Simulation Bot TD on Egypt and maybe choose a different difficulty.

As a gift, you will get for this second match a permanent TRG-21-Noble Silver.

Every good thing comes in threes! Play one more match Simulation Bot TD on Egypt and maybe choose a higher difficulty.

As our last gift, for now, you will get the permanent Orchid character and 30 days Bulletproof Helmet and Vest.

Make sure to complete the matches and you are joining the right map Simulation TD Egypt. Single bot matches don't count.

If you leveled to the rank Sergeant 1, you will no longer be able to earn those rewards but you might get a chance to get those through the Mileage Shop at a later date. You can also purchase the character and bulletproof items in the Item Shop.

See you on the battlefield!

Notice Regarding Third Party Code/Pin Sellers

[GM]Kanadian — Wed, 22 Feb 2023 20:59:58 +0000

Attention Mercenaries,

We have recently been made aware of issues arising from users purchasing ZP Codes from illegitimate parties. We would like to take this time to remind you that you should only purchase ZP Codes, Pins, or any sort of payment option through officially licensed distributors for that payment partner. Always ensure that you are on an official website, or that the partner selling you the code is officially licensed by the payment company they claim.

Purchasing ZP Codes, E-Pins, or processing payments through third party sellers is advised against, as the resulting issues may lead to problems with your account, up to and including a chargeback ban that you will have to pay back. For your account safety and peace of mind, please see our official deposit page and check each payment processor you plan to use for their official purchasing protocol.

As always, if you have any questions or need assistance with information on how to buy ZP from legitimate payment providers, please feel free to reach out to us on our support page via ticket, or contact the official payment processor directly.
