The Squad leader can now set the order Defend on the point. The capture will conclude the Attack order. The whole Squad will be awarded with experience for the Squad Member Ribbon for Members and the Squad Leader Ribbon for the Squad Leader as well as Rank experience, once any of you arrive at the control point, kill enemies near the control point (100m) or finally when the point is captured. Hovering over the point will show you, if another friendly Squad has set an order on the point already, which gives you the opportunity to coordinate with the whole team. With clicking ‘Q’ and ‘Mouse 1’ the Squad Leader can give the command to, for example, attack a control point. Squad members obeying the orders will give an XP bonus to both the Squad Member and Squad Leader, and will unlock Squad Leader and Squad Member ribbons. The Squad Leader only commands his OWN assault team, so you cannot give orders to players that are part of other ATs. Note that, by pressing 'Q', you will also see the other orders given by other squads (see picture on the right). The order automatically adapts to the objective: pointing a friendly point will issue a "defend" command, while pointing a neutral or enemy one will issue an "attack" one. While holding 'Q', move your cursor to the desired location and press left mouse button to confirm your order. (then release Q ^^)īy pressing 'Q', a Squad Leader (minimum rank 6) can issue orders regarding control points or zones: Attack, Defend, etc. Issuing orders: press Q, point the objective, left click. Doing so, all his squad will be affected and spawn at the same spot. One the map, before spawning, a Squad Leader can change his spawning point (Shield icon ). A Squad Leader can also choose/change the spawning point of his squad. Note that Rank 6 is also required, else the Squad Leader will be called Squad Leader Cadet, and will not be able to issue commands. The highest ranked member of each Assault Team is automatically made the Squad Leader for that squad. The Squad Leader is a temporary hierarchical rank lasting during a battle. More information on that: Joining Specific War Battles Squad Leader There are several criteria that have to be fulfilled to be able to join as well as a way to increase your chance of getting in. In order to do so, you have to open the war map, look at the ongoing battles (burning cities or burning points in between cities) and discuss with your squad which one you would like to join. In war, unlike in staged battles, you have the ability to queue up for specific battles. Recon and Fighter Squads have 1 basic member slot.Infantry and Paratrooper Squads have 3 basic member slots besides the leader.So think twice before you leave/dismiss someone from the squad.ĭifferent classes have different numbers of slots for members in the squad: For squad leader, the squad spot would be locked for the rest of the match after one of the member being dismissed. During the battle, you won't be able to get back into a squad after leaving a squad. If you would like to dismiss a squad member or leave the squad, you just need to go to the scoreboard (default 'Tab'), then either find yourself on the scoreboard then press left mouse button and select 'Leave Squad', or select the member of squad you like to dismiss, press left mouse button to dismiss the member from your squad. Squads you created by adding friends, however, will stay the same after the game ends unless somebody decides to leave the squad, you kick somebody from the squad or you disband the squad. After a game, the auto-generated squad will be automatically disbanded and you will no longer be grouped up with squad buddies that the game has automatically assigned in the previous match. Else, the game will automatically try to find a squad buddy (rank will determine leader). In the main menu (except for "Generals" tab), you can invite friends to your squad by clicking the "Squad button" at the lower part of the screen to access the squad menu. Working together will give bonus XP to all members of the squad. The squad is composed of a Squad Leader, who can issue orders, and of Squad members. It is the first step of teamplay, and thus the first step to victory. It is also the easiest way to play with friends in the same battle.Ī squad is a sub-group of characters playing together, inside a faction. A "squad" in Heroes & Generals is used to teamplay with a group of people.
