01 / THE GUIDE
Co‑op Coordination
Observe how early ping placements streamline resource gathering; compare squads that assign a dedicated scout versus those that rely on random calls to see which maintains objective control longer.
- Use the ping to highlight resource nodes before constructing.
- Assign roles early to maximize each class’s contribution.
02 / THE GUIDE
Class Synergy
Test pairing a Medic with a Guardian to evaluate sustained frontline durability versus a Medic paired with a Ranger for mobility, noting healing efficiency and defensive stability.
- Experiment with each class in short matches to discover preferred role.
- Pair a Medic with a Guardian for sustained frontline endurance.
03 / THE GUIDE
Base Layout
Construct walls in a staggered pattern and compare line‑of‑sight blockage against a straight wall layout, observing how each affects enemy wave navigation and turret placement.
- Place ammo stations near choke points for easy resupply.
- Use Engineers to prioritize repairing walls under heavy fire.
04 / THE GUIDE
Carnage Management
Leave a small corpse pile near a choke point to use as cover, then clear it before the next wave to prevent enemies from using it as a ramp, noting timing impact.
- Clear large corpse stacks near entry points to prevent enemy ascent.
- Use the piles as temporary cover when under fire.
05 / THE GUIDE
Weather Tactics
Engage during a sandstorm on Valaka to conceal movement, then switch to clear conditions on Agni Prime to maximize visibility for snipers, comparing kill rates across both scenarios.
- Plan assaults during clear weather for better line of sight.
- Utilize sandstorms to mask approaches when defending objectives.
