The content of this Game Guide is as follows:
CTU: FBI SWAT
Here are the FBI SWAT Operators you will be able to choose from in the Closed Beta:
ATTACKERS
Thermite
Thermite is a destruction-focused Operator, with medium armor class.
Unique Gadget: Exothermic Charges
Thermite sets exothermic charges that destroy reinforced walls. He is an unstoppable breacher. He is especially useful while playing against enemies who are heavily relying on fortifications. Equip Thermite with frag grenades so that he can attack enemies right after the breach. However, keep in mind that exothermic charges can’t be detonated if they are inside a jamming device’s radius.
Recommended composition: Extremely effective when paired with Montagne. After clearing out a fortified wall, Montagne is able to push through with his Extended Shield from a direction that the enemy was not expecting.
DEFENDERS
Pulse
**
**
Pulse supports his team by detecting enemy presence. He has a light armor class.
Unique Gadget: Cardiac Sensor (previously known as Heartbeat Sensor)
Pulse detects heartbeats at a short distance through obstacles with his Cardiac Sensor. If you play with Pulse, it’s critical that you communicate actively with the rest of the team, as you will be the only one who knows the movements of nearby enemies. The range of the Cardiac Sensor is limited to 10 meters.
Recommended composition: Works well with any Operator or Recruit, as long as you are good at communicating.
CTU: GIGN
Here are the GIGN Operators you will be able to choose from in the Closed Beta:
ATTACKERS
Twitch
Twitch supports her team by remotely dealing minor damage to enemies and disabling traps. She has a medium armor class.
Unique Gadget: Shock Drone
Twitch pilots a Shock Drone that can deliver electric shocks thanks to a short-range taser, dealing minor damage and disabling traps. You can use her drone as an observation drone (but it’s not available during the observation phase before the beginning of the round) and a Shock Drone, make sure to use each function in the right situation. The drone can also be used as a diversion to distract enemies while your teammates move in. However, beware of jamming devices as the Shock Drone is vulnerable to them.
Recommended composition: Good with any Operator or Recruit, as long as you communicate effectively.
Montagne
Montagne is able to deploy a massive ballistic shield to provide his team with mobile cover. He has a heavy armor class.
Unique Gadget: Extendable Shield
Montagne is the quintessential assault team point man. Able to extend his ballistic shield to cover himself from head to toe, as well as those behind him, he is a force to be reckoned with during an assault. It is imperative that Montagne has a teammate or two on his six to provide fire, as he is unable to use a weapon while his shield is fully deployed.
Recommended composition: Good with any Operator or Recruit as long as they are willing and able to move as a cohesive unit through the area of operation.
DEFENDERS
Rook
**
**
Rook supports his team by providing them with additional armor. He has a heavy armor class.
Unique Gadget: Armor Pack
Rook will greatly improve your team’s survival thanks to his Armor Pack. These Armor plates increase the chances of the wearer to drop in DBNO (down but not out state) when shot. It also increases the armor rating of anyone picking it up. Make sure to always drop the box during the preparation phase, as Attackers can destroy the box.
Recommended composition: Good with Mute or Smoke. He can maximize Smoke’s roaming capabilities
Doc
**
**
Doc brings his years of medical training into the field, and is able to revive DBNO teammates within range of his Stim Pistol. He has a heavy armor class.
Unique Gadget: Stim Pistol
Doc is able to revive DBNO teammates from a distance, and works best close to his teammates. With a single shot from his Stim Pistol, a DBNO teammate is instantly back in the fight, turning the tables on an enemy after a breach gone awry.
Recommended Composition: Rook. Because Doc is able to revive teammates that are DBNO, and Rook is able to supply his teammates with armor plates that increase their chances of going DBNO instead of dying, together create a powerful combination.
