Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
This is a sci-fi first-person shooter where players embody a Tau Fire Warrior named Kais. You must infiltrate a human colony, utilizing advanced weaponry and stealth, to rescue an abducted Ethereal leader and prevent intergalactic war. The game emphasizes combat and infiltration within a rigid caste-based alien society.
Story
The Tau
The Tau are a young, dynamic alien race inhabiting an area of space near the eastern fringe of the galaxy. They possess highly advanced weaponry and technology. Their empire, less than two thousand years old, is rapidly expanding and encountering elder races.
The Tau Empire is based around a densely packed globular cluster of stars, allowing for safer warp travel. It also includes several alien races who have joined voluntarily or through trade agreements.
Tau Civilization
Tau civilization is based on a rigid caste system, relating to the four elements: fire, water, air, and earth. These castes dictate a Tau's role as warrior, bureaucrat, pilot, or worker. A mysterious fifth caste, the Ethereal, rules and binds the other castes together.
The Tau Empire operates on the concept that individuals should set aside personal desires to work for the greater good of the empire.
The Conflict
A violent incident in the outer colonies threatens to reignite conflict between the Tau and Humans. The great leader Ko'vash, an Ethereal, has been abducted by Imperial Warriors.
You are armed with a pulse rifle and intelligent armor, driven by a desire for justice. You are preparing to drop into a Human colony world on an extraction mission. Your comrades' battle cry is: "For the greater good!"
Your Trial By Fire
You are Kais, a warrior of the Fire caste. You are trained for combat and stealth infiltration, and this is your first vital mission.
Our latest intel reveals a possible location, and Fire teams are being dropped for a rescue mission. This mission will be your Trial by Fire. If you survive, you will be promoted.
Tau Ranking
•
Shas'la - Line trooper
•
Shas'ui - Qualified to use full battlesuit
•
Shas'el - Commander
You must fight well for the greater good and rescue the Ethereal before it is too late. Good luck, Fire Warrior.

How to Play
Level Complete Stats
Once you've completed each level, you'll receive your level complete stats and a grading of how well you did.
Pausing the Game
Press the START button at any time to pause the game and access the following options:
•
Continue Level—Return to Your Trial by Fire!
•
Restart Level—Return to the start of the level.
•
Options—Access the Options Menu.
•

•
Quit to Menu—Admit defeat and return to the Main Menu.
Weapons
Throughout the game you will encounter many different types of weaponry, some the Tau manufacture and others of alien origin. As a Fire Warrior, you are honor-bound to carry a Tau weapon into battle at all times.
Your primary weapon will always be one of the technologically sophisticated Tau energy weapons, but you have the ability to carry an additional weapon that you can swap as required using the button.
If you have no guns at all, or only one, walking over a weapon will pick it up. If you walk over a weapon that is the same as a weapon you are already holding, you pick up its ammo, which is added to that weapon's ammo reserve. To RELOAD your weapon, press the button.
If you are already carrying two weapons and then stand over a weapon type you are not currently carrying, you will be offered the chance to pick it up. Hold the button down for a moment to pick it up and swap it with your current second weapon.
Currently, security-cleared data exists only on the following weaponry:
•
Pulse Rifle
•
Race: Tau
•
Profile: The Pulse Rifle is the standard weapon for Tau Fire Warriors. The secondary fire capability gives greater accuracy to this rapid-fire weapon.
•
Primary fire: Rapid-fire
•
Secondary fire: Single-shot fire
•
Range: Medium to Long
Scope Mode
Scope mode lets you focus on accurate shooting. It acts like a sniper scope, permitting you to zoom in on targets. Only certain weapons (such as the sniper rifle) have a scope mode.
The R2 button turns scope mode ON and OFF if the weapon is equipped with it. While in scope mode the button zooms in and the button zooms out.
Gun Emplacements
You may encounter and be able to man gun emplacements. These usually have mounted weapons that are too large to carry around. To man a gun emplacement, move next to the weapon and press the button.
Infrared Vision
The SELECT button switches infrared vision ON and OFF. This allows you to see in low light conditions. Your Infrared Vision system has a limited battery life before it switches off. However, the battery will slowly recharge between uses.
Shield and Health
Your shield will protect you from damage for as long as it is active. If your shield is reduced to zero, your health will fall when you are attacked. Your shield will slowly recharge itself if left alone. You can recover lost health by picking up any Medikits you find.
Items
You can pick up weapons and keys in order to help you complete your mission. Just walk over a key to pick it up or walk over a gun to either collect it or its ammo.
If you walk over a new weapon and both your hands are full, you will have to hold down the button momentarily until the weapon is picked up.
Actions
If you need to perform an action, walk up to the place where you need to perform the action and press the button.
Multiplayer
Warhammer 40,000: Fire Warrior offers two different ways in which you can enjoy multiplayer combat:
•
Online
•
Split Screen
There are different hardware requirements for each of these.
Online Multiplayer
A Network Adaptor and an appropriate internet connection must be installed. This gaming mode requires a separate console for each player.
Split Screen Multiplayer
Two to four players may participate in a split screen game. Three or four players will require use of a multitap adaptor, which the game fully supports. This gaming mode requires the use of one console for all players.
It is not possible in Warhammer 40,000: Fire Warrior to combine any of these separate communication methods.
Setting Up for Network Play
Selecting the Online option will load the network services and then prompt you for an appropriate network configuration. If you have yet to create a network configuration then you should choose Manage Network Configuration to load the memory card network setup program.
The network setup program will reboot Warhammer 40,000: Fire Warrior when it is complete.
You can select from a number of different network configurations by moving left and right. Select Accept to use your chosen configuration. Warhammer 40,000: Fire Warrior will then attempt to start its network services and connect automatically to the internet, using your specific network configuration.
When the network services have been started, your copy of Warhammer 40,000: Fire Warrior will attempt to authenticate itself with DNAS. Successful authentication will lead the player to the multiplayer options.
In case of difficulty, refer to the network troubleshooting section.
Multiplayer Options
After selecting a gaming mode and initializing any required hardware, you will be presented with three options:
•
Start a New Game
•
Join an Existing Game
•
Player Setup
Multiplayer Gaming Modes
There are three different gaming modes available, which should be familiar to players of other multiplayer first person shooters.
•
Deathmatch
Players compete in a head to head battle for survival of the fittest. No teams, no orders, no rules—just one winner!
•

Items & Weapons
Pulse Carbine
This portable assault weapon is mounted with an under-slung photon grenade launcher that can be very useful when engaging large groups of opponents.
Laspistol
This small, single-handed weapon is accurate but lacks power. It is often encountered on opponents who utilize an additional mode of attack.
Lasgun
This two-handed, rapid-fire weapon is the standard weapon of the Human Imperial Guard. In the hands of a skilled opponent it can be a dangerous gun to face.
Autogun
This is a mechanical, rapid-fire weapon. Although archaic in design compared to Tau weaponry, it can cause significant damage to the unprepared in seconds.
Sniper Rifle
This high-impact sniper rifle has a zoom-capable scope, allowing the user to target enemies with deadly accuracy. Extreme caution is advised when facing adversaries carrying this rifle.
Shotgun
The shotgun is a lethal weapon at close-quarters. Its dual-shot capability causes impressive damage, but the gun lacks accuracy at a distance.
Tips & Maps
The Battle-Online
This section describes how to play the game online.
The Battle-Split Screen
This section describes how to play the game in split-screen mode.
Saving
Insert a memory card (8MB) into MEMORY CARD slot 1 for Warhammer 40,000: Fire Warrior data to be saved automatically as you progress through the game. Make sure there is enough free space on your memory card before playing.
Loading
If a memory card containing previously saved Warhammer 40,000: Fire Warrior data is inserted prior to boot-up, the saved file will be automatically loaded and may be resumed by going to the Single Player Menu, selecting a difficulty level and selecting 'Continue Game.'
Stealth
If you crouch, your footsteps are quieter, and enemies will not hear you coming. If you can sneak up on them when they are not looking, you can catch them by surprise.
Keep moving!
A static Fire Warrior is a dead Fire Warrior! Become accustomed to strafing.
Strafing
Strafing back and forth from behind a safe area is an excellent way to defeat some enemies. Learn to circle strafe, which is continually moving around an enemy while concentrating fire on the target.
Pay attention to incoming HUD messages
You might receive some valuable information.
Check your objectives often
If you get stuck, chances are you've neglected to fulfill an objective.
Shield power
If you're low on shield power, find a safe place to lay low. Your shield will regenerate after a short period of time.
Conserve ammo
Don't shoot more than you have to and don't waste the bigger weapons on the weaker enemies.
Lead your targets
Learn how to lead your targets. It does no good to fire at the spot where the enemy was; train your fire at the spot where an enemy is going.
