Scenario-based recommendations
This section is written as practical editorial guidance: choose by scene, role, route, enemy pressure, or player goal rather than chasing a universal best answer.
Scenario matrix
| Scout | Reads corners, light exposure, and first-contact risk. | Leading through unknown space | Players who tunnel on loot |
| Carrier | Owns artifact pickup and extraction commitment. | Objective-focused raids | Players with poor route memory |
| Rear guard | Watches pursuit, reload windows, and retreat safety. | Low visibility and chase phases | Players who cannot communicate calmly |
| Flex support | Carries utility and fills the broken role during chaos. | Experienced teams | New squads without a stable plan |
What to pick and when to avoid it
Scout
Best for: Confident callers
Avoid when: If the player sprints or over-peeks
Scout decisions shape whether the squad enters a fair room.
Carrier
Best for: Patient objective players
Avoid when: If pressure causes panic movement
Carrier survival is often worth more than one extra kill.
Rear guard
Best for: Calm audio-focused players
Avoid when: If the team refuses to retreat together
Rear guard makes extraction a team action.
Comparison table
| Three-operator BL squad | Small-team specialization | Every player must cover both combat and information |
| Four-player co-op teams | More redundancy | Less punishing role collapse |
| Solo extraction play | Complete autonomy | Higher risk when information is missing |
Choose roles by temperament, not ego. The best shot should not automatically lead if another player communicates route risk better.
Who this guide is for

FAQ
Is this an official recommendation?
No. It is an independent editorial guide based on public sources, visible footage, and cautious pre-launch analysis.
Why are there no exact damage or stat values?
Exact values should not be invented before launch data, official documentation, or hands-on testing confirms them.
How should I choose between options?
Choose by scenario first: map pressure, role, route, enemy type, economy state, or player preference. Do not chase a universal best pick before the game is fully testable.
