Master basic controls, health, combat, and pickups in Transformers: War for Cybertron. Learn how to reload, shoot, and use Energon Cubes.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Looking and Waypoints: Use the Left Analog Stick and the Right Analog Stick to look around. Following on-screen Waypoints (visual guides that direct you through the level) will guide you through the level.
  2. 2
    Change Form: Click the Left Analog Stick or press Y to change form, depending on your control settings.
  3. 3
    Jump & Double Jump: Press A to jump. Double press A to double jump.
  4. 4
    Interact: Press X to interact with certain objects in the world.
  5. 5
    Health: Your health bar is in the upper left corner of the screen, divided into segments. Taking damage drains Energon from segments. If you stop taking damage before a segment is fully drained, it will regenerate. Once a segment is completely drained, you must find Energon Cubes or be healed to restore it. Losing more than half of the last health segment will cause your systems to shut down. Find Energon Cubes quickly or take cover (use environmental objects for protection) to restore your systems. In co-op and Escalation modes, you can revive fallen players by being near them and holding X. Abilities will be jammed briefly after revival.
  6. 6
    Combat Display: Your Combat Display is in the upper right of the screen, showing your current weapon, total ammo, and grenades. You can carry two weapons. Press Y or Up to switch between them, depending on control settings.
  7. 7
    Reloading: Press X to reload your currently equipped weapon. Hold X to pick up a new weapon.
  8. 8
    Melee: Click the Right Analog Stick for a quick melee strike.
  9. 9
    Shooting: Press the Right Trigger to shoot. The reticule shows your weapon's accuracy. Continuous firing or jumping decreases weapon effectiveness. Hold the Left Trigger to use Fine Aim (precise aiming).
  10. 10
    Grenades: Press B to throw a grenade.

Pickups:

  • Energon Cubes: Used to restore any lost health.
  • Overshield: Provides temporary armor.
  • Weapons/Ammo: Weapon crates grant new weapons, while ammo crates provide ammo.
  • Grenades: Grenade crates contain various types of grenades.
  • Energon Shards: Obtained by defeating enemies, these allow you to use Energon abilities.
Tips
  • If your health is low, prioritize finding Energon Cubes or taking cover.
  • Remember to switch weapons if one runs out of ammo or if a different weapon is more suitable for the situation.
  • Use grenades strategically to deal with groups of enemies or heavily armored targets.
  • Fine Aim is crucial for hitting weak points or distant enemies.
