About Redcoats.io
Redcoats.io is a browser multiplayer shooter set in the age of line infantry and wooden warships. Its battlefield combines musketeers, horse riders, field cannons and sailors rather than treating every player as the same kind of fighter. Each role changes how you reach an objective and how you can support the people already fighting there.
The central job is to capture and hold forts. That gives a battle a direction beyond simply finding the nearest enemy: defending an approach, spotting a flank or helping a ship bring its guns into position can all matter. Start as infantry and learn the local terrain before trying a specialized role. Move with other players, use the map to understand where help is needed and think about the space between volleys. A measured advance usually gives you more options than charging alone into an open field.
How to play
- Choose a battlefield role and help your side capture or defend forts.
- Fight on foot, ride cavalry or operate guns and warships.
- Coordinate movement and fire across the map’s land and coastal approaches.
Beginner tips
- Start near friendly infantry so you can learn the front line without fighting alone.
- Use cover and avoid exposing yourself between musket shots.
- Open the map before switching roles, then choose a job that helps the current objective.
