Squad partners

Who to pair the class with

Each pairing states whether the interaction is officially confirmed or our reading of confirmed mechanics.

  • Sharpshooter

    Assault applies close-range pressure and strips cover; the Sharpshooter eliminates the priority targets that get exposed.

  • Medic

    Advancing into the open is the highest-Injury role in the squad, and Injuries are what drive permadeath.

  • Heavy

    A Heavy absorbing attacks in the open gives the Assault a safer lane to flank through.

Strengths

  • Reaches objectives and flanks faster than static ranged Operators.
  • Its official role explicitly includes attacking enemies in cover, which most ranged builds struggle with.
  • Creates the close-range pressure that forces enemies out of entrenched positions.

Weaknesses

  • Advancing into the open trades away the cover bonuses that reduce incoming hit chance.
  • Close range means exposure to Injuries, which stack toward permanent death.
  • Value depends on map geometry that is unknown before launch.
