Beginner’s Guide for Jagged Alliance 3
Whether you’re a hardened Jagged Alliance veteran or a complete rookie, these tips and tricks will come in handy when the going gets tough.
Build a balanced squad
The key to your survival in Jagged Alliance 3 is starting with the right crew. Choose five mercs and keep around 10,000$ in the bank to spend on wound treatment, militia training, and equipment repairs. To start your game right, you’ll need to recruit the following mercs:
Once you’ve earned some cash, you shouldhire an additional medic with 50+ in medicineto aid you in more brutal clashes in case your first medic gets injured. Always renew merc contracts at a rate of 14 days to save up on the upfront cost and avoid losing mercs when you need them most.

Be stealthy
Avoid direct confrontations when unnecessary, especially in the early game.Scouting the area beforehandand taking out enemies using stealth will save your mercs' health and ammo; this is where mercs with high dexterity and agility will help you out. Weapon mods like thethermal scopeormuzzlecan help you stay silent but deadly during nighttime and at long range.
Watch your resources
To keep the money coming in, capture diamond mines as soon as possible. I recommend capturing the mines inthe K10 and H7 map sectorsfirst. The miners will become more loyal with every village you liberate, giving you more diamonds to sell and profit from.
Aside from cash, you’ll need medicine to heal mercs in battles.Collect as many herbs as possibleto convert them into meds, and check every nook and cranny in the area for herbs lying around.
Position your squad
In Jagged Alliance 3, firepower means nothing if your mercs are exposed to your enemy.Always split your squad into two groupsand try to flank your enemy—that way, you avoid taking heavy losses if you get attacked by explosive weapons.
Remember to place shotgun mercs and explosive experts close to your enemy for maximum damage. Pistols and automatic rifles are most effective mid-range, while snipers should pick off enemies from the back.
Take cover wisely
Watch for cover spots such as crates, rocks, and vehicles when scouting the area, and plan your lines of movement accordingly. Cars provide the most cover, but they’ll explode if set on fire, which you may use to your advantage and hurt your enemies.
To get maximum cover,always crouch or go prone,but remember your movement speed will be significantly slower. Don’t stick to one cover spot for too long since it’s only a matter of time until you get swarmed by grenades.
