MilCombat Beginner Guide: Your First Week in the Game

MilCombat is a military RPG that runs right inside Telegram. This guide turns a fresh recruit into a soldier who beats bosses and runs combat operations within the first week.

How to start playing

There is nothing to download. Open @milcombat_bot in Telegram and tap “Play” — the game opens instantly on your phone, computer or Telegram Web. Your account is created automatically from your Telegram profile: no passwords, no sign-up. You can switch the game language to English in the settings.

Resources and energy

• Respect — your soldier’s main score. It decides your place in the Top 100 and unlocks combat operations.
• Money — buys weapons for boss fights (grenades, FPV drones, ballistic missiles), clothes, and lets you found a platoon.
• Cigarettes — earned in combat operations and boss fights, spent at the black market.
• Energy — spent on training and combat operations. The maximum is 100 and it regenerates 1 point every 5 minutes (12 per hour, a full bar in about 8 hours 20 minutes). An energy drink instantly refills it to the maximum.

Recruit Training: 7 days of gifts

Every new player gets a daily gift calendar. Claim one gift per day during the first 7 days after you join — the “Gifts” button in the left menu glows when a gift is waiting.

If a friend invited you with their referral link, you also get a starter bonus from them.

Your first boss — Shnek

Shnek is the weakest boss (1,000 HP) and needs no battle orders. Start the fight, use your basic attack (it is free, but only once per fight), then hit him with the grenades, drones and missiles from your gifts. Victory gives money, 100 respect and a BR-I battle order — you will need it for the next boss.

All bosses are covered in the boss guide.

Training

Each training session costs 10 energy and gives +1 to a stat. Stats directly boost your weapon damage against bosses:

• Training Ground No.453 — Strength (key stat for grenades);
• Training Center No.12 — Endurance (key stat for missiles);
• Academy No.8 — Discipline (supports FPV drones);
• Site No.21 — Skills (key stat for FPV drones).

The next location unlocks once you have trained 10 times in the previous one. Each location has its own leader — overtake them and your avatar appears in the “TOP” frame.

Daily quests

Quests refresh daily and weekly and reward money, respect, cigarettes, energy and talent points:

• “Daily Training” — train 3 times;
• “Battle Cry” — attack a boss 2 times;
• “Field Operation” — complete 2 combat rounds;
• “Help a Brother” — send a gift to a friend;
• “Field Farmer” — earn 500 cigarettes;
• weekly: train 20 times, kill bosses 5 times, complete 15 combat rounds (the last one gives a talent point).

Plan for the first week

1. Days 1–2. Claim your gifts, beat Shnek several times (up to 6 wins per boss per day) and spend energy on Strength training.
2. Days 3–4. Unlock the next training locations, do daily quests and add friends — you can send each of them a daily “Ration” (+10 energy).
3. Days 5–7. At 2,000 respect combat operations unlock. Collect 2 BR-I for Hook and join a platoon.
