Themed as a hybrid between a Tinder-esque gamer group matchmaker using skill-based matchmaking, the player starts “Friendly Fire” on the main menu screen, which invites them to warm up. After completing a self-set training goal, the player may encounter their new NPC friends in an avatar-style chat room. The room is made to feel like a gamer-cave hangout spot where the player can find their NPC friends lounging around.
- Player plays 5 training tasks to gauge their skill level
- Player is placed with a gaming group of the same skill level and gets cast in the role of IGL aka In Game Leader (always the same group)

- Player opens the main menu of FF
