A field manual for new recruits in the WW1 trench shooter on Roblox — squad tactics, the crate and medal systems, and how to use promo codes to get a head start.
Fig. 01 — A new recruit1. Stick with your squad
TRENCH: DECAY is a squad-based PvE shooter. Pushing a trench alone gets you swamped. Move with teammates, cover angles, and use numbers to survive the relentless enemy waves.
2. Learn the rhythm of the trenches
Combat is deliberate and tense rather than run-and-gun. Use cover, peek corners, and never over-extend into no man’s land where you can be pinned down.
3. Grab the free codes first
Before you grind, redeem every active promo code on the Codes page. They hand out medals and Enlisted crates that give you a real head start on gear.
4. Understand the crate system
Rewards come as medals plus crates — Cosmetics Crates, Enlisted Melee Crates, and Enlisted Firearms Crates. Cosmetics are for looks; melee and firearms crates are your loadout progression.
5. Expect constant change
The game is in early beta. New mechanics, server restarts, and balancing happen almost daily. Treat each session as a fresh build and re-learn what works.
6. Follow the official channels
The solo developer posts updates and new codes through the studio group and Discord server. That is where major updates and code drops are announced first.
