How co-op works
Co-op squads fight AI across objective-based Checkpoint missions or defensive Outpost waves, using specialized classes, limited supply points, lethal ballistics, support strikes, and minimal HUD information. Fast deaths and scarce ammunition make callouts, overlapping cover, and coordinated objective pushes essential.

Players coordinate through realistic firefights using authentic weapons, minimal HUD elements, and lethal ballistics that reward positioning over spray-and-pray tactics.

Online co-op and competitive multiplayer modes support cross-platform play, letting squads face AI-driven insurgents or clash against human opponents. Sessions demand constant callouts and shared situational awareness, creating tense, methodical gameplay that punishes lone wolves and rewards disciplined fire teams working as one unit.
