Roles of the Game

Assault- The main element of any fighting force. The assault role is versatile, and depending on the situation can be broken up into groups, attacking, defending, ambushing, just about anything.
Jobs:
-Suppressing
-Flanking
-Attacking/Defending

Recon- The recon role and assault role often mix. The recon role advances ahead of the assault, and gathers information on the enemy. Occasionally a recon member will engage in small firefights if confronted, but the objective is to get intel, and get back to your own force. Once they are back, they are assimilated back into the assault element.
Jobs:
-Suppressing
-Flanking
-Attacking/Defending
-Scouting
-Information gathering

Sniper/Spotter- A sniper is a player that uses a semi-automatic or bolt action rifle to engage targets from a distance, usually from cover and concealment. A sniper usually works in a team of two, a sniper and spotter. The spotter’s role is to identify targets and call out ranges and to protect the sniper. A sniper team will also gather intel if need be. The team also works closely with the assault element, and often takes orders directly from the top.
Jobs:
-Information gathering
-Eliminate specific targets
-Long range suppression
-Concealment/stealth

Designated Marksman- Also known as a “DM,” A DM uses a Designated Marksman Rifle (DMR) to engage and use accurate fire to suppress the enemy at medium to long ranges. The DM works closely with the assault force, either by supporting the flanks or assisting in suppressing. Teams of DMs are highly effective.

-Accurate suppression
