Bodycam is a multiplayer FPS in which you play and compete against players on various maps and game modes. Some players reportedly have trouble figuring out how to join a game and start a match; so here’s a quick guide on how to do that.
How to prepare and join a server in Bodycam
The best way to get ready in Bodycam is to join an active server. For that, click on the Start a Match button in the lower right corner of the main menu. This will take you to the screen shown above with three options: Host Map, Join Server and Quick Play. Select the Join a Server tab and it will take you to a list of active servers around the world.
From the list, you can see which servers the match has just started and is already in progress. All you have to do here is click on any server you want to join and the game will put you in that match. You can also sort the servers by their latency using the toggle above (see image). I like this method of joining a game in Bodycam as I can choose what map, mode and ping to play on. You can also try Quickplay, but it will put you in random play mode on a random map; I also noticed that sometimes it takes too long to connect.
How to host a map in Bodycam
Another way to prepare and join a game in Bodycam is to host a map, which is preferable when playing with friends. Simply select the Host Map option and select your desired game mode and map, for example Body Bomb on Tumblewood. Invite your friends to the lobby, wait for them to join your server and enjoy the session.
If you want to allow random players to join your match, go back to the main screen and select the lobby tab Go to Options and change Lobbying Approach to Public (see picture). You can also give your lobby a name if you want on the same screen.
Being an ultra-realistic game built on Unreal Engine 5, Boydcam is very graphically demanding. In addition, the game is a multiplayer first-person shooter; therefore should extract as much frame rate as possible from your rig.
