Hey all! My name's Kelley, callsign is jeanshanchik, and I would absolutely love some help. :D

I'm new to the multiplayer realm, and I thought I'd try it out considering Hawken is free and I just graduated college (AKA I have time on my hands for a couple of weeks before I start working).

As of right now, I'm learning the ropes completely.. Still trying to understand the way the mechs, internals, consumables, etc... work. My current strategy when I play is the "Just Don't Die" strategy. This means I just wander around my team as much as I can and avoid red dots. Occasionally I'll get in on some shooting so I can get those assist points. Then I go and hide. -shrugs-

So, basically I'm just looking for some friends who are willing to help me explain the simple things and teach me some new strategies. It would make me feel much better, and probably more confident. I see tons of potential in this game..tons of time-consuming potential. :P

Feel free to add me in the game! ^_^

Welcome to Hawken!

Many players have put up guides both here on the forums and on steam for new players. Here is a guide I made for players looking to learn the vanguard class. My guide has video of me playing with explanations for why I died. It can teach you more than just how to play that one mech and I would suggest giving it a read. Much of the guide is written to be funny so if you don't like my kind of humor just skip to the video section.

Any other questions you have feel free to ask I or someone else will probably answer you pretty quickly.

Welcome to the HAWKEN, Pilot! We're readily available to help here and some in-game, and these peoples above are far more adept at teaching than I am, so take their advice. ^^

I hope you enjoy your stay!

ah, to take me for a fool-- mistake #1. a little research goes a long way, friend! unless there are two Xacius's, then the one i've found is most certainly the opposite of an easy kill. :)
