Frontlines is a first-person shooter on Roblox which was released just last month. The game’s impressive graphics and challenging gameplay have made it a standout on the platform, attracting over 15.8 million visitors on the platform. Our Roblox Frontlines guide covers the game’s assortment of weapons, upgrades, and player skills. We’ll also look at all four available maps and gamemodes.
Frontlines resembles other shooters such as Call of Duty, making it broadly appealing to fans of the genre. It’s also accessible; Frontlines is playable on PC/Mac, consoles, and even mobile devices. If you’re just getting started, this guide will teach you everything you need to know.
Roblox Frontlines Guide – All Maps
The maps in Frontlines are comprised of large, open areas with closed-in pathways between. Some are more exposed than others, so be wary of your surroundings. Knowing how to get around Frontlines maps can make you a very effective player, so follow our guide closely.
Canyons
Canyons is—you guessed it—a map set in a canyon. The towering walls have a mazelike quality that can be confusing for new players. However, these walls offer great verticality, allowing you to gain a vantage point on enemies. When playing on Canyons, you’ll have to watch out for enemies both in front and above you.

Launch
Launch is a port with enclosed tunnels connecting various points along the edges to the middle of the map. You’ll travel between wide open spaces and claustrophobic hallways, each of which has its own dangers. The more open an area is, the easier it is to spot you, especially for players carrying sniper rifles. In the tunnels, however, limited visibility allows enemies to sneak up behind you. Be aware of your surroundings, especially when moving from one area to the next.

Cavalcade
Cavalcade takes place in the snow, with damaged buildings and debris littering the map. The pathways are less enclosed than on Launch, and the buildings offer great cover from enemies. Cavalcade also has some inconspicuous ladders and debris offering verticality to sharp-eyed players.

Factory
Factory is somewhat similar to Cavalcade, with large buildings and open space between them. This map is easy to navigate, with shipping crates and debris providing valuable cover when needed. It is particularly important to stay close to teammates on Factory, as you’re often exposed from multiple sides when moving around.

Roblox Frontlines Guide – All Gamemodes
The gamemodes in Frontlines will feel very familiar to Call of Duty players. Each mode lasts ten minutes, dividing the players into two teams and pitting them against each other. Different gamemodes require different strategies to win, so read below and be prepared for your next match!
Team Deathmatch
A classic in the FPS genre, Team Deathmatch players have one goal: kill the enemy team. This gamemode is an all-out duel in which combat is the sole focus. Whichever side has the most collective kills when the time runs out is declared the winner. Team Deathmatch is one of the most popular modes in Frontlines, prized for its simplicity and fast-paced gameplay.

King of the Hill
Like the name suggests, King of the Hill tasks players with capturing a single point on the map and defending it. This point is noted by a floating letter H inside a gray marker. To capture the point, stand by this marker and wait for it to turn from gray to blue. When captured by the opposing team, however, it will turn red. Whichever team holds this point the longest wins the match.
Where King of the Hill becomes tricky is when the “hill” gets recaptured by a team. When this happens, the capture point will move to a different location on the map and turn gray. As such, you’ll have to react quickly and make your way to the new “hill” as fast as possible.
The number beneath the point marker shows its exact distance from you.
Domination
Unlike King of the Hill, Domination places three stationary points (labeled A, B, and C) on the map for teams to capture and hold. Ideally, your team will hold all three, though this isn’t always necessary to win. Whichever team has the most points by the end of the match wins; points are determined both by the number of control points held and how long they’re defended.

Kill Confirmed
In Kill Confirmed, players drop dog tags each time they die. Players on the enemy team have red dog tags, while those on your team have blue ones. The goal of Kill Confirmed is to pick up as many enemy dog tags as possible and bring them back to various “deposit” points throughout the map. These points are marked by floating pairs of white dog tags. Whichever team has collected the most dog tags by the end of the round wins.
An important part of Kill Confirmed is picking up your teammate’s dog tags in addition to those of enemy players. By picking up blue dog tags, you prevent the other team from collecting them. If you see a fellow teammate go down, try to grab their dog tags before anyone else does!
Red dog tags are dropped by enemy players. Blue dog tags are dropped by teammates.
Roblox Frontlines Guide – All Guns
There are seven primary weapons in Frontlines, ranging from carbines to sniper rifles. In addition, players can choose between three secondary weapons, as well as one melee weapon and one gadget. Most items in Frontlines have a level requirement to use, but can be purchased with credits from the in-game store. Unlocking weapons in Frontlines can be a grind, but finding a weapon that suits your playstyle is well worth the effort.
Primary Weapons
Primary weapons are the main gun you’ll be using in battle. These are powerful guns with lots of attachments for players to customize. As you level up, you’ll unlock more powerful guns with higher stats.
MP5
The MP5 is a submachine gun and the first gun you’ll use in Frontlines. With just 24 damage per shot, it is one of the weakest primary weapons in the game. However, the MP5’s high mobility and fire rate compensate for its low damage output. It’s fast and versatile, making it a solid choice for players who want to take enemies by surprise.
The MP5 is the default weapon for new players in Frontlines.
M4
The M4 is a carbine available at level three. Compared to the MP5, it deals 29 damage per shot and has a slower fire rate. However, it has more options for customization, including rails and the barrel. If you’re looking to maximize damage early on, then the M4 is your best option.
You also have the option to purchase the M4 for 749 credits. Though this might be tempting, it’s best to save your credits for later. As you play Frontlines, you’ll reach level three very quickly, so purchasing the M4 outright isn’t necessary.

EBR
Unlocked at level 14, the EBR is a semiautomatic rifle with high damage and a slow fire rate. It deals almost twice the damage of the M4 but has significantly less ammo. This means you’ll have to pick up more ammo on the battlefield to keep fighting. If you’re a bold player who prioritizes damage over mobility, choose the EBR.
The EBR deals more damage per shot than the MP5 or the M4.
AWM
At level 20, this is the first sniper rifle you’ll unlock in Frontlines. The AWM deals a whopping 100 damage per shot, tying it for the most damage of any primary weapon. As a sniper rifle, it has a very slow fire rate and is inaccurate at close range. Using this weapon means staying out of the action and picking players off from afar. If you choose the AWM, keep your distance and watch out for enemies sneaking up on you.
Sniper rifles are powerful weapons from afar in Frontlines, but are inaccurate at close range.
AS VAL
Players unlock the AS VAL at level 35. Though the AS VAL only deals 27 damage, it excels in one stat: horizontal control. This refers to the weapon’s recoil; high horizontal control means the gun won’t bump to the side as you fire. However, you’ll have to compensate for its low vertical control, meaning the AS VAL will continue to pull up while shooting.
The AS VAL also has a very high fire rate. This makes it a generally superior version of the MP5 and a better choice for those who prefer speed to damage output.
The AS VAL is especially accurate due to its high horizontal control.
The Fix
The Fix is unlocked at level 59 and is the second sniper rifle in Frontlines. In all, it is only marginally better than the AWM, edging it out in hipfire accuracy, fire rate, and mobility. Once you’ve unlocked The Fix, there’s no reason to go back to the AWM; this is an extremely powerful weapon that provides a keen advantage over enemy players.
Use The Fix to pick off enemy players at long range.
Nightwing
The final primary weapon in Frontlines, players unlock the Nightwing at level 63. This submachine gun might have the lowest damage in the game, but don’t count it out just yet. The Nightwing has an astonishing fire rate of 1000, allowing you to wreak instant havoc on enemy players. In addition, the Nightwing’s high hipfire accuracy and mobility allow you to execute shots quickly at close range. Of course, reaching level 63 will take even the most skilled players time, but the Nightwing is a worthwhile reward. Using this weapon will make you a force to be reckoned with in Frontlines.
The Nightwing is one of the strongest guns in all of Frontlines.
Secondary Weapons
Secondary weapons offer great utility to Frontlines players. These can be used to shore up weaknesses in your primary weapon or as a backup if you’re low on ammunition. There are only three secondary weapons currently available in Frontlines, which you can read about below.
G19
The G19 is the default secondary weapon, available the moment you start playing. Despite being a pistol, its stats are very similar to the MP5’s, with comparable damage, hipfire accuracy, and mobility. However, its rate of fire is slower, so it’s not a perfect substitute. The G19 is most effective at close range, making it useful to players with primary weapons like the AWM.
The G19 is a basic handgun in Frontlines.
M500
The M500 is a shotgun that players unlock at level six. It deals 34 damage per shot, but has a slow rate of fire and is subject to a lot of recoil. Though difficult to control, it is very useful for taking out enemies quickly at close range, especially for players using one of the low-damage semiautomatic guns.
The M500 is the only shotgun available in Frontlines.
PP2000
Unlocked at level 35, the PP2000 is the final secondary weapon in Frontlines. This is a machine pistol with a decent fire rate and 26 damage per shot. Like the M500, it suffers from a lot of recoil, but is a great alternative for those who might not prefer the heavy playstyle of a shotgun.
The PP2000 is a great alternative to the G19 for high-level Frontlines players.
Roblox Frontlines Guide – Melee & Gadget
As stated previously, there is only one melee weapon and one gadget currently in Frontlines. Both items are essential to players, offering different approaches to combat that the guns can’t provide. You should familiarize yourself with both, as you’ll likely wind up using them often.
Melee: Combat Knife
Though deadly, you’ll have to get close to other players to make use of the combat knife. Its primary benefit is stealth; firing guns in Frontlines causes you to appear on enemies’ minimap, making you an easy target. By employing the knife, you can kill silently without alerting your foes.
You can also throw the combat knife by pressing ‘F.’ However, you won’t be able to use the combat knife again until you die.
The combat knife is an instant kill on enemies but is very risky to use.
Gadget: Frag
The frag grenade has obvious use as a high-damage weapon that can wipe out entire groups of enemy players. Once thrown, the grenade detonates roughly five seconds later. You can be killed by your own grenades, so throw them far away!
The frag is a deadly weapon that can be used against groups.
Roblox Frontlines Guide – All Skills
Players have three skill slots in Frontlines, along with three default skills to start with. You can unlock new skills by leveling up or purchasing them with credits, similar to weapons. The types of skills you can add to your loadout are restricted to certain slots; for instance, you cannot equip Focus in Slot 2. As such, we’ve divided this section of our Roblox Frontlines guide according to the three skill slots.
