Machine Gunner

Section titled “Machine Gunner”

In a squad split into fireteams, the machine gunner usually sits in the anti-infantry team. Your job is to keep the enemy’s heads down while the rest of the squad moves.

Fireteams & spacingWhere the MG fits, and how fire and movement works.

Marksman

Section titled “Marksman”

Covers the squad from range: watching approaches and picking off enemies at distance.

Competitive

In competitive play, both the MG and the marksman are rarely picked. Competitive Squad rewards speed and adaptability, and a rifleman’s ammo bag (for rearming rallies) is worth far more.

Combat Engineer

Section titled “Combat Engineer”

A full guide is still being written. For now, see how engineers use C4 to clear stairwells:
