The Game
Redcoats.io is a 3D multiplayer first person shooter that runs in the browser. Battles can hold up to 1,000 concurrent players on a single map. The setting is the era of European line infantry, when soldiers fought in red coats, fired flintlock muskets, and crossed oceans on wooden warships.
Roles you can play
Musketeer
The backbone of the army. Musketeers carry a flintlock musket with a bayonet for melee. They are most effective in groups, advancing on foot and forming firing lines to break enemy positions.
Cavalryman
Cavalry move quickly across the field on horseback. They are best at flanking, scouting forts, and running down isolated infantry. A horse can be a powerful tool, but also a large target.
Cannoneer
Cannoneers operate field cannons. Cannonballs reach across the map with high damage. At close range, grapeshot turns a single cannon into a wall of shrapnel that can clear an entire firing line.
Sailor
Sailors crew warships off the coast. Ships have multiple guns and can be sailed by a coordinated crew. Naval guns can be used to bombard land objectives or to fight other warships.
Objectives
Each war is decided by capturing and holding forts. Forts are the key positions on the map. To win, your side must take and defend them against enemy attacks.
