Squad composition

A full squad has nine players. Agree who plays which kit before you deploy, so the squad has the mix it needs.

Competitive

Core pick: almost every competitive squad runs it. Avoid in comp: too slow or restrictive for competitive play; a Rifleman’s ammo bag is worth more.

The three pillars

A squad rests on three kits that keep it in the fight:

1. Squad Leader: decides where the squad plays and keeps a rally up.
2. Medic: decides how the squad plays in a firefight and keeps people alive.
3. Rifleman: keeps the rally rearmed so the squad never runs out of spawns.
