Overview
The Guide is for Informations about everything important in Day Of Infamy (DOI).
English
This is the English part of the Guide. A german part will in the future be included.
The Game
DOI is a WW2 Shooter which is in between Arcade and Simulation.
Every shot can and will most of the time kill you.
The Gameplay is similiar to Insurgency (same Dev).
DOI is running with the Source Engine which means that there a quite long loading times for the Multiplayer.
The Multiplayer Servers are protected via Battle Eye Anti Cheat.
Main Menu
At the Top you can see the topics:
- Main
- Profile
- Mods
- Options
- Help
- Quit
- Shooting Range (New)
- Multiplayer
- Cooperative
- Tutorials
- Practice
The Profile shows you the detailed informations about your playstyle and the K/D, Win ratio etc.
In the Mods menu you’ll find all mods published from the Steam Workshop and your own subscribed mods.
In the options menu you can change Key bindings and other settings. You can also enable your Developer Console (Similiar to the CS:GO ones).
If you are running the game with a Linux Distribution set the shader options to medium or low if you’re Outfits etc are looking bad and/or the eyes of the previewed characters are white.
The help button will bring you to the official website for support of New World Interactive (Devs of the game). You can also change there to the Steam Guides for Help.
Quit will close your Game.
Nations you can play as
You can play 3 different Sites:
- Nazi Germany
- Commonwealth
- USA
Every of those Nations/Allies have different troops which you can unlock by playing or buying in the Steam Shop as DLC, in the Shop of DOI and in the Community Market at steam.
Those make differences in the Outfit and Camouflage.
The Commonwealth also unlock the Canadians and Scottish Troops.
The Nation and troop you can play depends on the map you play on.
For example the Map Dunkirk:
You can only play the Nations Germany (Wehrmacht) and British (Royal Army).
All troops have to be existed since 1940. Every troop which didnt exist or fought in the fight for Dunkirk are not possible to play.

Classes
In DOI there is the almost the same class System as in Insurgency.
At the start you get 10 points that you can use to play with different weapons.
Every 5 Kills you get 1 extra point.
Each class has a maximum of players depending of the players in the match.
Only the Rifleman Class has no maximum.
If you play the Germans you can see that the Class names are in German.
A translation here:
- Offizier = Officer
- Funker = Radioman
- Grenadier = Rifleman (means Grenadier)
- Sturmtruppe = Assault (means Stormtrooper)
- Kampfunterstützung = Support (means fighting support)
- Flammschütze = Flamethrower
- Panzerjäger = Engineer (Not quite right in the game because Panzerjäger means something like Tank Hunter)
- MG-Schütze = Machinegunner
- Scharfschütze = Sniper
The Numbers in a [] mean how much Points they cost for the different classes. Withought any costume stuff on it!
All sides:
The Officer has the ability to call airstrikes, mortars, supplies with his binoculars if a radioman is near him.
For the ability of the Officer you need to use the binoculars and open the radial menu with rightclick or just use the radial menu.

Game Modes (NOT FINISHED)
There are 8 different game modes in DOI.
- 3 in coop
- 4 in battles
- 1 in special assignment
Stronghold
In Stronghold you have to secure a spot in the enemy territory and defend it to succeed in this gamemode. You play with humans or bots against bots (CO-OP).
Raid
In Raid you attack important sites where enemy Officers are or for example Flak 88 to destroy.
Entrenchment
In Entrenchment you have to defend a point for some time. If you lose a point the time for victory increases. If you lose all points you lose.
Offensive
In Offensive there are 2 teams the attacking and the defending.
To win you have to secure all Points in time or kill all enemy waves. The defending side wins if they defend all points succesfully for the time they have to.
Units to Unlock and different weapon Skins
There are not much unlockable weapon skins in DOI. I won’t copy that because someone else made a Guide about how to unlock those.
The Link for the Guide (Steam Guide)
Like mentioned before there are Classes in DOI you can unlock by playing or buying.
Commonwealth:
Germany
USA
Mods you can use for NWI Servers
NWI Servers are the official Servers of the Developers. In those you can only use Sound Mods every other Mod doesn’t work because of balance issues then etc.
If you use a sound mod it will change your normal weapon sounds e.g. If you want to get this sounds out of your game you have to unsubscribe to the mod on your profile or in the steam workshop.
As far as I know if you subscribe to more then 1 soundmod only 1 soundmod will be used (if it changes all sounds).
Teamkills
Teamkilling happens because of the minimalistic Hud. Before you shoot always look at the Helmet of the potential enemy. If you cant see the Helmet, look at the outfit.
The standart Wehrmacht uniform is dark grey and the US Army uniform is more brown.
If you hear steps in a room near you and you dont know if its a friend or an enemy:
- open your map
- find yourself
- look for an allied in the room/place
- throw a grenade at the spot if no teammate is there
Free Weekends & The Community
The Community mostly changes in the time of a free weekend because of new players who try to find out if they want to buy the game or not.
If you are someone who played DOI before:
- dont be unfriendly
- respect their problems in aiming etc
- help them
If you are new in DOI and just want to give it a try:
- don’t annoy other players
- adapt their gameplay
- dont shout or submit songs in the voice chat
- ask for help if needed
- dont rage
The Community of Day of Infamy is very nice (as far as I know). There is not a toxic community as in more popular games and hopefully it doesn’t change.
What you shouldnt do
Don’t throw grenades like in CS:GO or COD.
The HE grenades are deadly, if friend or enemy it will kill everyone near it.
Don’t throw blindly the smokes you have. Always remember if you throw a smoke, why and think about that a friendly sniper can’t take out a machinegunner in that area (as example).
If you have to go AFK for a longer time, leave the Server. You will ruin the game for your team because you probably take a place that no one can take place in.
If you need to go AFK for a short time, leave the class youre playing as if you play:
- Officer
- Radio
- Sniper
- Machinegunner
Those are the most important ones. But if possible go out of any class where is a maximum. So take the class Rifleman, everyone can play as Rifleman and its a very gamechanging class in the game.
Don’t take the role of a officer if you started the game. The Officer can call airstrikes etc. if you dont know how to use them, don’t play the officer.
The special Strikes all have a quite long cooldown so if you waste them your team is at a disadvantage.
But you can take the class of the Officer if you see that no one is going to take it.
