Abilities

Squad partners

Who to pair the class with

Each pairing states whether the interaction is officially confirmed or our reading of confirmed mechanics.

  • Sharpshooter

    Line of sight and mission structure limit pure sniper strategies; a Scout's positioning work is what makes long-range angles usable.

  • Assault

    Both roles are about tempo and reaching positions before the enemy does.

Strengths

  • Officially framed around planning and timing, which suits missions with staged objectives.
  • Squad-wide opportunity creation compounds with every other Operator in the squad.
  • Likely mobility helps with timed objectives and repositioning.

Weaknesses

  • There is no fog of war — enemies are already visible — so pure vision value is limited and the Scout must earn its slot another way.
  • Setup roles are weakest when the squad has no strong payoff to set up.
  • Its confirmed toolkit is the thinnest of the eight Specializations.

What we don't know yet

The game has not been released. These are open questions we have chosen not to guess at.

  • What 'reconnaissance' means mechanically when there is no fog of war.
  • Its entire ability list.
  • Whether it grants squad-wide buffs, marks, or extra actions.
  • Its mobility relative to the Assault.
