Introduction
The Squad Leader is the battle-tested sergeant leading their troops on the ground, and the direct link to the higher chain-of-command. You are entrusted with keeping your squad alive and leading them to victory while also relaying orders, reporting information, and providing coordinates for resupply and fire-support (Close Air Support, the Railgun, the Mortar and the Howitzer) and the Orbital Cannon.
Playing the Squad Leader
As the first link in the chain-of-command and the direct ranking officer for your marines, your primary role is leadership and support, with combat secondary. Remember this, as your presence alone can often keep a squad together and fighting effectively. Leading from the front is heroic and inspiring, but can often get you killed, leaving your marines leaderless and scattered. You must know when to charge and when to give orders, when to fight and when to help out your medic, or hold a position, or use your tac binos to call for a resupply or fire-mission.
You are also a physical beacon to follow and have the ability to give orders that provide direct buffs to your marines, so it's not all just yelling over the radio.
Your most important job is paying attention, and a good Squad Leader will know what's going on and how best to use their leadership abilities and communication to help win the battle. Your marines may not always listen, but sometimes that's out of your hands. Before taking a role as Squad Leader, ensure you have a good grasp of each marine role, the weapons at your squad's disposal, the map, and of course your own abilities.
Orders
All Command staff and assigned Squad Leaders have access to Orders which can be used to buff nearby troops. Using one causes you to shout out a unique phrase over the radio. After giving an Order, there is a one-minute cooldown period until you can give another one, but cooldowns for Orders and Markers are separate.
Order effects are influenced by your Leadership skill, which increases both the effect and range.
| Order | Description |
|---|---|
Move order |
Increases movement speed by 0.1 per Leadership level
Great for retreats and getting to objectives quickly |
