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 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
As command staff, you have access to orders, which can be used to buff nearby troops with helpful effects. These also cause you to broadcast a quote over the radio(provided you have one) so people know when you're calling one out. After giving an order, there is a cooldown period until you can give another one. Give orders using the action buttons on the top-left of the screen.
Command | Description |
---|---|
Move order |
Increases movement speed. Great for chasing down or running away from xenos, or if you just want to move around fast in general, like on the ship. ROs love it! |
Hold order |
Increases pain resistance. Helpful since pain slows down move speed, makes you drop stuff, and overall just sucks to have. Also saves painkiller supplies for when it's needed more. |
Focus order |
Increases accuracy, which in turn increases total damage output because more shots actually hit the enemy. Also makes them hit friendlies more often, but that's out of your control, mostly. |
Vendors, Equipment, and Weapons
The Squad Leader has their own prep room within their squad prep area (hover your mouse over the doors if you can't find it.) Inside are your GHMME Automated Closet and NEXUS Automated Squad Leader Equipment Rack.
