So without further ado, I bring you my first guide....
Chapter 1. Garena.
So as everyone knows, there are several servers for Blackshot. EU players may use the TwoWar server, SE Asian and some other countries may use the Garena server. Some more other countries may use the OutSpark server. I will be covering the Garena server today, since I am a SE Asian. AZN PRIDE!!!!
So now, you must register at Garena before you can play Blackshot. In case you didn't know, Garena offers gold membership for premium use (LIES!!!) so you can register for a gold membership once you create a account. So...
Step 1. Visit this website. http://www.garena.com/
Step 2. Click on the Games tab at the top. A list should pop out, showing LoL, HoN and Blackshot. Select Blackshot.
Step 3. Go to the official portal.
Step 4. On the dog tag to the left, the uppermost option is 'Create an Account'. Select that option.
Step 5. Then, you will go to a website which you must fill in....
1.Email
2.Username
3.Password
4.Re-enter Password
5.Country of Residence.
After that, agree to the terms and conditions.

After registering, download the game.

Chapter 2. Downloading the game.
Ahahaha. Congrats, you have reached the second part of my guide without falling asleep :) So now, we go through the downloading section of the game. Below the 'Create a Character' option on the dog tag, there should be a 'Download the Client' option. In case you need the link, here it is. http://blackshot.garena.com/index.php/download?id=36
Alternatively, you can download the Garena Messenger with the game. Garena Messenger is something like MSN, except with your friends from Garena. Here is the link.
http://blackshot.garena.com/index.php/download?id=95
To enable faster online connection speed, use the Garena client to access Blackshot. Here is the link.
http://www.garena.com/client/
Now, after downloading the game, login with your Garena account once you access the game login screen.

Chapter 3. Creating a new character.
Sorry for the boring language in the two previous sections. I was in a rush when I did this, and i still am! Kinda at least. So now, after accessing your 'Create an Account' screen after logging in, you should see three options. Quit, and create a new character x2. There are two slots there and you can create two accounts. NOTE+WARNING. ANY ACCOUNT CREATED CAN NOT BE DELETED.
So select your character.
Travis. Most common character. Faster than Adam and Cathy. Not sure with Vanessa. Uses light weaponry. (Thats what Garena said anyways. But normally most players use rifles... Unless you are poor, and cannot afford a rifle.)
Vanessa. Third most common character. Faster than Adam and Cathy. Not sure with Travis. Uses light weaponry. Same thing with Travis. Use FREAKING RIFLES. Not SMGs and Pistols....
Cathy. Less common character. Slower than Travis and Vanessa, but can take more damage without falling. Uses heavy, medium weaponry.
Adam. Second most common character. Slower than Travis and Vanessa, but can take more damage without falling. Uses heavy, medium weaponry.
Now, after you have created your character, then enter the game.
Chapter 4. Entering the lobby/a room.
So since you are a beginner.... So enter the Beginner's Channel. And SELECT A GAME. Do not use the quick join. It will direct you to a lesser ping game, or a game with little people in it. Select one with GREEN ping, and has only 1-3 slots empty. That would be best, but sometimes, you must join games with less ping , or less people.
Now train to you get to Staff Sgt., with a KDR of 40% and above, and then enter the 'Adult' Channels. Then comes the hard part. The Adult Channels has Lieus, Lieutenants in actual language. Those Lieus are the one you should watch out for, for, most lieus, and above, are ALOT more experienced and has better skills. Those will kill you time after time, but, treat it like a lesson. For each time you die, you learn something about the Lieus tactics. Do they move side to side while firing? Or do they crouch down when firing? Do they snipe? Or do they use rifles? Learn and adapt to each Lieus attacks. So basically, turn a new page whenever you encounter a new Lieu. This will be hard in the first few times you try it, but it'll become easier everytime you succeed.
Chapter 5. Basics.
Coming soon!
Hope you enjoyed, and learnt something from my guide~!
