Love PvP shooters? Here’s Highguard! Dropped on 26th January 2026 by Wildlight Entertainment, this free-to-play title is being talked about a lot. If you love games like Fortnite and Marvel Rivals, you will surely love this one. You play in teams of three as Wardens whose goal is to fight or die. You raid, shoot, explore, cause destruction, but that’s not all. Here are some helpful Highguard tips and tricks to use in the game.
Character Selection
You need to select a hero before you start playing. There will be eight unlocked players available for you at the beginning of the game. Check their descriptions and abilities carefully so you know what works for you. They will be from different archetypes like Assault, Defense, Recon, Support, so pick your player based on your playstyle. You can always change your player if you don’t like it.
Loot Smart, Not Hard
Looting is a major part of Highguard but it doesn’t have to be difficult. When you mine resources, make sure you do it with good timing to collect them faster. Open red chests for weapons and blue ones for armor. Only loot again when new gear tiers unlock. Keep farming crystals and opening chests to accumulate resources.
Always Go for Supply Drops
Supply drops appear randomly and contain very powerful items. These items are stronger than normal loot and many players ignore supply drops during matches. Grabbing one can give your team a big advantage, so always try to reach the drop quickly. When either team makes it through a raid, a Supply Drop will show up on the map during the next loot phase. Only one drops each time, with a marker and countdown showing where and when it will land.
Use Strong Defense
Strong defense does more than protect your base in Highguard. When your team blocks enemy attacks successfully, the enemy base still takes damage. This helps your team catch up in points without losing much health or ammo. It can even win you the match without attacking, so always focus on defending smartly. Offense and action is as important, but keep an eye out for solid defense first.
Always Fight for the Shieldbreaker Sword
The Shieldbreaker appears when magical storms hit the map. This sword is needed to break enemy base shields, so ride quickly with your team to reach it first. Be ready to battle the enemy team for control, and remember they won’t give it up easily. Whoever gets the sword gains a huge advantage and it often decides who can raid successfully.
Explore and Upgrade Raids
After the enemy shields fall, rush into their base together. Plant bombs on generators to weaken their defenses. You can slowly destroy multiple generators over time or go straight for the main anchor stone to finish fast. Defenders will try hard to push you out, so remember that smart attacks help you win quicker.

Grab Raid Tools
Raid tools give you extra power when attacking enemy bases. The Zipline Gun helps you reach new areas quickly and the Rocket Launcher destroys walls and defenses easily. The Blast Hammer can break structures and damage enemies. Using these tools makes raids faster and safer so try to explore a lot and find these weapons.
Stay Alive
In Highguard, fights happen fast and players go down quickly. It may feel tempting to fight every enemy you see but sometimes it’s smarter to pull back and heal. Your health slowly comes back when you leave combat. Staying alive also saves your limited respawns so try to survive longer as that helps your team win later fights.
