Darkflow Software rebuilt Enlisted for its Steam launch, folding six separate campaigns into one army per nation and sorting every squad, weapon and vehicle into Battle Ratings I through V. It arrived on Steam as Enlisted: Reinforced on 16 July 2024, free to play, published by Gaijin Network. You command an AI squad rather than a lone soldier, so being shot drops you into the next man in the squad instead of ending the life.

Resource management and crafting determine how quickly your power scales. This guide covers what to prioritize, where to farm, and how to avoid wasting resources on the wrong upgrades.

Focus on gathering materials for PPSh-41 upgrades here. See our maps guide for detailed area layouts.

Tunisia

Focus on gathering materials for PPSh-41 upgrades here. See our maps guide for detailed area layouts.

Stalingrad

Upgrade Path

Early Game (Normandy to Berlin)

  1. Upgrade your starting weapons to functional level
  2. Craft basic defensive gear
  3. Save specialty materials, since you'll need them later
  4. Focus on PPSh-41 once accessible

Mid Game (Tunisia)

  1. Push PPSh-41 to mid-level upgrades
  2. Start collecting materials for M1 Garand
  3. Craft situational consumables for boss fights
  4. Upgrade build-specific gear pieces

Late Game (Stalingrad to Pacific)

  1. Max out M1 Garand. This is your top priority
  2. Complete your build's core gear set
  3. Craft endgame consumables
  4. Optional: upgrade secondary weapons for variety

Crafting Mistakes to Avoid

  1. Spreading upgrades across multiple weapons: Focus one weapon to max before diversifying.
  2. Hoarding materials: Use them. The game provides enough if you farm efficiently.
  3. Upgrading the wrong gear: Check our builds guide before investing.
  4. Ignoring Tunisia farming: This area has the best resource-to-time ratio in mid-game.
  5. Crafting consumables too early: Save specialty materials for late-game recipes.

Resource Efficiency Tips

  • Your lineup Battle Rating is set by the single highest rated item you bring, so one BR V rifle sitting on a BR II soldier throws the whole squad into Tiger II and jet matches. Audit each squad before queuing and strip out late war gear you did not mean to bring.
  • Farm Tunisia during mid-game for the best return on time
  • Check the walkthrough to know when each resource becomes available
  • Match your farming route to your build. Some classes farm faster in certain areas
