How co-op works

Up to eight online operators plan in a physical Ready Room, inspect loadouts, choose insertion points, then execute campaign Operations or configurable quick missions. Equipment weight, pouch placement, weapon length, muzzle position, and limited information make deliberate roles, spacing, and radio communication mechanically important.

About this game

GROUND BRANCH is a tactical first-person shooter where planning, patience, and precision matter more than reflexes. Born from the minds behind Rainbow Six and Ghost Recon, it delivers true co-op and competitive PvP play for players who prefer thinking before shooting. Every mission asks squads to coordinate sight lines, breach tactics, and loadouts carefully.

Deep character and weapon customization lets you tailor every piece of gear to your squad role, from optics and attachments to kit and armor. Teamwork hinges on clear callouts and synchronized movement. Success feels earned because mistakes are punished and communication is everything.

Online co-op and online PvP modes bring squads together across the internet, with Steam Workshop support adding custom scenarios and maps. Sessions reward players who take their time, share intel, and execute disciplined plans. GROUND BRANCH runs on Windows and remains in Early Access as the studio refines systems with community feedback.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a microphone to play co-op effectively?

While not technically required, a microphone is strongly recommended. GROUND BRANCH is built around communication-heavy teamwork with callouts, coordinated breaches, and shared intel-voice chat makes the experience work as intended.

Does this play like classic Rainbow Six games?

Yes, GROUND BRANCH comes from one of the original Rainbow Six and Ghost Recon developers and focuses on the same methodical, tactical gameplay-where planning, patience, and teamwork matter far more than twitch reflexes.
