!Role Tips
!What you can do!
|-
|Command
|As command you're in charge of everything going on. Most people don't know what they're doing, so remind them often of how the modes mechanics work.
Do a briefing, and during it make sure you let people know they need to stay next to the oil wells to actually generate materials!
Keep Production and Acquisitions from fighting each other for tools, they'll need to work together, not against each other.
|-
|Combat Engineers
|You're the Rooks! Much like a Rook in chess, you're here to protect the 'king', or in this case, the materials.
You're in charge of setting up defenses. The tools of the trade are your sandbags and your emplacements which are manned turrets.
You'll start with a limited amount of sandbags, so split it up fairly amongst the team.
During briefing, try to figure out what Robins squad you'll be going with, either the commander will tell you who you're with, or you'll just need to ask.
Sandbags can be shot through if you're RIGHT next to them, but you'll shoot the bags if you're not next to them, build accordingly and don't cut off firing lanes with your sand.bags.
|-
|Acquisitions
|You're the one in charge of setting up wells,  and so you will need to know how to work with these machines. Tools are limited in supply so make sure you share them with Production.
To place the conveyors you'll be using, hold them in your hand and click on the ground. If you need to adjust the direction it's going, use a wrench.
To pick it up you'll use a crowbar. After they're down you'll need to use a lever on it.
|-
|Production
|As production you'll be working together to make supplies for EVERYONE. Starting out, try to  focus on defenses and more conveyors. People will need first aid kits, sandbags, and better weapons.
After you are getting enough materials, start working on radios, but don't go crazy with it. As things develop just try and ask what people need. If you don't know what to build, ask a member of command.
|-
|Support
|This is a fast and loose role, focus on what the team needs most at that moment. Messengers should stick with squads, preferably one each.
When radio's start getting distributed,  try and deliver radios to each of the squad and role leaders.
The Raven MPs and Raven Captain take orders directly from the Operations Commander. When you do not have direct orders, assist as needed.
If there aren't enough people, MP's can work as additional messengers, but do so only with permission from your team captain or higher up. Protecting the base and manning medical should be your priority

Tips and Tricks

Role Tips What you can do!
Command As command you're in charge of everything going on. Most people don't know what they're doing, so remind them often of how the modes mechanics work.

Do a briefing, and during it make sure you let people know they need to stay next to the oil wells to actually generate materials! Keep Production and Acquisitions from fighting each other for tools, they'll need to work together, not against each other.

Combat Engineers You're the Rooks! Much like a Rook in chess, you're here to protect the 'king', or in this case, the materials.

You're in charge of setting up defenses. The tools of the trade are your sandbags and your emplacements which are manned turrets. You'll start with a limited amount of sandbags, so split it up fairly amongst the team. During briefing, try to figure out what Robins squad you'll be going with, either the commander will tell you who you're with, or you'll just need to ask. Sandbags can be shot through if you're RIGHT next to them, but you'll shoot the bags if you're not next to them, build accordingly and don't cut off firing lanes with your sand.bags.

Acquisitions You're the one in charge of setting up wells, and so you will need to know how to work with these machines. Tools are limited in supply so make sure you share them with Production.

To place the conveyors you'll be using, hold them in your hand and click on the ground. If you need to adjust the direction it's going, use a wrench. To pick it up you'll use a crowbar. After they're down you'll need to use a lever on it.

Production As production you'll be working together to make supplies for EVERYONE. Starting out, try to focus on defenses and more conveyors. People will need first aid kits, sandbags, and better weapons.

After you are getting enough materials, start working on radios, but don't go crazy with it. As things develop just try and ask what people need. If you don't know what to build, ask a member of command.

Support This is a fast and loose role, focus on what the team needs most at that moment. Messengers should stick with squads, preferably one each.

When radio's start getting distributed, try and deliver radios to each of the squad and role leaders.

The Raven MPs and Raven Captain take orders directly from the Operations Commander. When you do not have direct orders, assist as needed.

If there aren't enough people, MP's can work as additional messengers, but do so only with permission from your team captain or higher up. Protecting the base and manning medical should be your priority
