There’s no bond quite like the bond between you and your squad. You may fight together, even die in-game together, but you’ll always have each other’s backs. Join us as we take a closer look at squad play in World War 3 in our latest Feature Spotlight!
INTRODUCTION TO SQUADPLAY
World War 3 currently features two different modes. Tactical Ops, which pits five-player squads (for a total of 40 players in each match) against each other to attack or defend capture points, and Team Deathmatch, a classic FPS mode that’s an action-packed, 10-versus-10 race to victory. Though very different, both modes share one thing in common: teamwork is the key to victory.
World War 3 was always envisioned to be a game founded on cooperative as well as competitive play. Even if you fight well solo, sometimes you’ll need to work together to attain victory. We recommend teaming up with squadmates you know for the optimum tactical experience, but you can work just as effectively with a squad you’ve just met.
TIPS FOR EFFECTIVE SQUADPLAY IN WORLD WAR 3
Follow our top tips for working together, and you’ll be taking the battlefield by storm in no time!
- Use Voice Chat: Fast response times are critical, and coordinating over voice chat is one of the best, most direct ways to sync with your team.
- Issue Orders: Squad leaders can issue orders, so it pays to have a tactical genius heading up your team.
- Follow Orders: There’s a good incentive to listen to your squad leader. Follow orders to enjoy bonus XP! Additionally, if you capture objectives as a squad, your capture time decreases for extra squadmate present.
- Clear Communication: Let squadmates know about imminent threats, or where to focus their fire.
- Focus Your Efforts: Try to coordinate your firepower to attack or defend key positions.
- Share Equipment: If your allies need a hand, share your supplies to help them out. You never know when you’ll need to call in a favor, too!
- Mind Your Surroundings: Watch your allies’ sixes from the air using flying drones, and even weaponize them to provide top aerial support.
- Disrupt Enemy Comms: Use the jammer to disrupt enemy communications, isolate them, and pick them off amidst the technical chaos.
- Operate Vehicles: Roll out together in vehicles and tanks to reclaim the streets and battlefields. You can assign and adopt different positions such as driver and gunner, too.
- Deploy Strikes: Make it safe for your squad by launching artillery and other strikes to clear areas out before moving in to clean up what’s left.
Teams who master the art of cooperation will find a world of tactical possibilities at their disposal. Squad up and prepare to fight in World War 3!
