What Assault does
A mobile front-line specialization built to reach enemies in cover and create aggressive angles.
The official role describes the job, not a mandatory weapon or fixed squad. Standard Specializations can support different Operators and can be adjusted at The Den as the campaign develops.
Field strengths
- Fast repositioning
- Pressure against covered targets
- Strong flanking role
Planning risks
- Forward positions can expose the Operator
- Needs a reliable exit or support plan
Squad fit
Pair with Scout information or Heavy protection so the Assault can cross dangerous ground with a clear target.
Before committing Focus Points
- Name the job this Operator performs on the current squad.
- Check whether the weapon AP cost supports that job.
- Identify which teammate creates the opening this role needs.
- Preserve a recovery or retreat plan before moving forward.
