As a preffered combat engineer player please always give me FTL I like building castles on fobs :)

I like the insurgents and IMF because of how they operate in an asymmetric way compared to a near peer faction

Did a monkey make the list?

When I structure a squad, I just do myself and two fireteams of 4, there’s no reason not to allow any and all players in my squad access to FTL marks anytime they see ANYTHING. Ever since marks don’t disappear when FTL changes, there’s no reason not to pass that shit all over the place.

please oh please give them a G36

I don’t really mind having a marksman/sniper in my squad. With it often being hard to have integrated vehicle support from something like an IFV, it can be nice to have someone with some glass. Especially that most marksman kits are running heavier caliber guns that the rest of the infantry section.

We played 1000+ hours and still watching a GUIDE :)

(600 hours in game) One of the biggest things that a new player can do that wasnt mentioned here is ASK FOR HELP! We were all new at some point and know that there's a learning curve. The Squad community is one of the best in gaming, if you simply let your squad know over voice chat that you're new and may have some silly questions, everyone is normally very understanding and will answer whatever questions you may have. Your team is your biggest asset, both in a firefight and just trying to figure out the game mechanics, map symbology, player classes, and strategies. P.S. Don't pick sniper or marksman; they're not only extremely hard to play well, but also are normally less fun and with the exception of hyper-specific scenarios, they're not very useful. A basic rifleman or automatic rifleman is a great start and you'll have a lot of fun getting comfortable with the game that way until you're ready to branch out. I personally love playing anti-tank kits, but still fall back to rifleman probably 30-40% of the time.

if squadlanes or maps didn't exist, I would make one just for myself. just saying... better it is shared with everyone.

How about the role of chasing down logis and screw the enemy's logistics? 😂😂😂😂

GL can also take out wheels on IFVs with 1-2 well placed shots. Super helpful when your LAT is out of ammo or dead.

in the most situation i put all of my mates in a fireteam so they can give the person wich needs the ftl the lead without puting me in the loop this is less stress for me

HAT is the only right way to go

Did i just witness a war crime???? 16:27

there is something to point out to new players with the mg and automatic riflemen is fire in bursts there are times when u can just go mow through people, but firing in bursts keeps you hidden and allows you to stay alive for longer and fire accurate shots that can be use to suppress the enemy and keeps you in the fight for longer additionally if u get a marksman, the first thing a marksman does is recon ur job isn't to get long range sniper kills, but to notify your squad and ur team about where the enemy is coming from if you do this, it can greatly help your engineer who may be looking for the enemy radio

@4.33 that's Sasi an I making that one two hit with the LAT/HAT kit, friggin dope! Great video and too many people sleep on the Rifleman kit as its one of the most versatile kits in the game. Combine that with a medic or grenadier and you're cooking for sure.

Given that a lot of new players will look for this kind of guides, I suggest to every new player to play medic as a first option and make your own survival your main goal. This way you will be active during the game for longer and will allow you to observe how other players move and interact. If medic is unavailable, go for any kit with long range scope, as you will struggle to identify allies from enemies, so you will need to check your map very often or wait for your team to do the first move. If you are in the front line with no experience, you will die time and time again and won't learn anything. Squad can be frustrating at first ( and later too 😅) and the most important skill is not your shooting, but your positioning and map awareness. Focus on training these skills and you will start to become a good player.

I was promised a controller guide

Another excellent vid, S3K.

Giving a comat engie FTL is a good idea on defense since FTLs can place defensive structures that synergizes great with engies fast shovel, allowing SL to stay on overwatch instead of running around putting blueprints down. Just make sure the engineer understands what build material is

Wow that medic was great!!! 😮😅

Forgot to add, that if you really wanna be Rambo and wander off, the medic kit is the best. Can't long range annoy the enemy team if you can't aim. Medic is the one guy you have to have in a team.

Where's my squad leader video 🫡

In the medic segment you say "they are the only role able to heal and revive other players" and i need to point out for the newer players that find this video that ANY role can revive as long as you have a bandage but you can only get healed by medics.

Hopefully all of the new folks get the opportunity to watch this! This is also not a bad guide for SL's to brush up on to maybe give new perspective on how to utilize their dudes

Woa

Solid breakdown! Learning the kits was one of the hardest things as a new player.

Just trying to get into this game. It is overwhelming. I have no idea what's going on. Don't know who is who. The enemy are hard to distinguish. Unrealistically in my opinion. But the main problem I see, in my limited experience, is that no one really communicates effectively. and of course there's always toxic people that just have to talk about the last time they had sex or other vulgar stuff.

Cool❤

Yes, it has a learning curve. So please, do us ALL a favor and learn the sh*t! This is NOT COD, this NOT battlefield. Enjoy :)

All good points, S3K.

I think squad would be amazing with multi faction battles. So you could have united states infantry but you armor is british, and so on. Kinda hint on a mixed allied forced fighting another mixed allied force and bring a lot more variety to the game

I honestly dont understand why there are so less factions. Back in the days with Project Reality there were way more factions - also the germans and the french. It was awesome. I dont get it why the developers dont hop onto it and introduce the factions

It demands more than one shell to destroy a bridge tho..

could add the Marder IFV

How did you get a mod into the offline range so you can test it out?

Is there an updated french army mod with hk416, g17, scar H ?

I cant wait to play this. I have nickleckted Squad for a long time (but was playing it since it was 2 month old and it was just a walking simulator) . But when this mod is out, I'm coming back.

thank you, starting today, wish me luck lol

Could sameone tell me the name of the mod? Thanks

New factions in combination with new biomes and the expansion of existing biomes would be the most important thing for Squad in addition to improving performance. I think it would be best if they just more or less adopt the mods into the game, because that saves them the most time: - Japan as factions and with maps in Japan and Taiwan to get more content in the Pacific region - France against North and Central African insurgents would be nice with maps in North and Central Africa like Mali or Djibouti - Germany ideally with several maps in Central Europe like the North German Plain, a major city like Hamburg or Berlin and as a blue force opponent for Afghanistan and Mali - Brazil against drug cartels with several maps in the favelas and the cultivation fields in the jungle. I also hope that several mechanics of the german army mod will be adopted. On the one hand destructible buildings like bridges and on the other hand the adoption of the correct angle of attack for the main cannon of vehicles when you have measured the distance to the target.

dropped the video when the insurgents faction was placed on the c tier, :(

there is two factions now they are only as mods (france and now germany) and I am seriously wish that the Devs go and communicate with those moders or even buy the mods from them and put them into the vanilla game because the moders actually did a very good job and squad needs those factions

Bro I came from tarkov and shit took me like 1.5 hours to learn so at first I was like “Steep learning curve my ass” However, my buddy that doesn’t play PVP games got his shit kicked in for 200 hours so I might be kinda biased.

yay I hope we get a JSDF as it has come up on a Poll done by OWI in the past

Will UE5 increase the minimum requirements? I have an RTX 2050 with 16GB Ram and I'm afraid that I won't be able to run it.

#1 unconventional tip Fire team leaders can place and build defenses so if you find your FOB to be to weak just ask for FTL so you can put down some hascos. SLs are better for encampments cause they can place the weaponary but as a FTL you get the watchtowers and ladders and can build up the defenses.

Just two more weeks

Bleh & meh. There's plenty jihadist arab factions already.

Please OWI, get this mod and the French one officially implemented into the game. Then hopefully the internal faction team at OWI can focus on creating more REDFOR factions for the game; Iran, North Korea, Venezuela.
