NEW FACTION: HIGHWAYMEN
The Highwaymen blast their way into the arena in Season 2 wielding a ruthless arsenal of makeshift weaponry. Don't be surprised when they go berserk.
GS-KOMMANDO
Season 1 brings Team Rainbow operators of GS-Kommando to disrupt enemies. Deploy electrified barbed wire for area denial, counter enemy devices with their Active Defense System, and dazzle foes with their G52-Tactical Shield.
CLEANERS
These former NYC sanitation workers solve all their problems with one tool: fire. Cleaners are damage-dealing specialists, packing incendiary rounds alongside hardware like a napalm-spreading drone and an old-fashioned flame thrower. This crew takes grim pride in their work—while the Cleaners may not be trained soldiers, they know how to finish a job.
DEDSEC
These tech experts can scramble the enemy’s HUD; take control of deployable items like shields, turrets, and drones; and unleash autonomous Spiderbots to hunt down the opposing team. DedSec hackers come from a variety of backgrounds, but they all believe in disrupting and dismantling systems of control, technological and otherwise.
ECHELON
The spies of the NSA’s Echelon initiative use information and subterfuge as their most potent weapons. Echelon are invisible on the minimap and use their abilities to surprise and confuse their foes. In addition, Echelon agents can reveal the location of enemy combatants, giving their allies a huge tactical advantage.
LIBERTAD
The revolutionaries of Libertad value strength in numbers as they seek to free their Caribbean nation of Yara. Libertad are expert medics, thanks to BioVida therapies they’ve adapted for battlefield use. Their Médico backpack can keep an entire team alive and fighting, and just their presence alone increases passive healing for nearby friendlies.
PHANTOMS
These ex-Ghosts, also known as Shadow Team, offer their training and advanced tech to the highest bidder. Phantoms are hard to kill and specialize in battlefield control, using a variety of deployed and personal shields to hold down points or anchor a forward rush.
